Not Coping

Hi @tyme

Yes very much so. It was very hard to tell them, but they needed to know. The lie was eating me up.

Do you remember what we talked about the other day?

How are you? I’m so emotional right now.

It sounds like it would leave you quite raw, yet I also hear it would have been liberating in a way that you don't have to keep 'lying'. @Birdofparadise8 . In all honesty, I believe they would have sense something was up already.

This may be a way to help you forward?

yes it definitely is a bit raw and liberating at the same time @tyme

Mmm maybe I have been trying to avoid talking to them and stuff, but I’m also very good and lying and hiding the truth from them.

My dad was a bit annoying and basically sent me fifty Google links about depression and the gut. Like I’m literally studying nutrition I know all about the gut and brain connection. And how most of the serotonin is made in the gut, but anyway each to there own.

Yeah, the gut is seen as 'the second brain'. @Birdofparadise8

They are doing their best. But maybe sometimes it's about telling them where you've drawn the line? i.e. if they go on about it, and it becomes too upsetting?

Yea I’ll let him know if he keeps mentioning it.

I still can’t believe I told them @tyme.

What have you been up to, @tyme?

I've just been around. Keeping busy like I usually am @Birdofparadise8

I like keeping busy.

Did I tell you I took my sister and her family to see Mary Poppins? It was so good. The kids loved it. I thought they'd be too young for it, but they really enjoyed it.

You told me about it, but you weren't sure if your sister would go again @tyme.

Hello and hugs @Birdofparadise8 , thanks for the tag my friend xxx

It was really worth it. The tap dancing was sensational. @Birdofparadise8 . So talented.
