Far and Away

I struggled so much to get ready for work this morning and didn't even check on notifications during the day @Faith-and-Hope Just couldn't face it. I have also unsubscribed to most threads apart from this one and a few others - and don't get any emails from any posts that have images in them. So very much limiting what I do and don't see during the day. I need to do that as I can't support anyone at the moment and therefore can't read how others are going. I have replied to some posts I have been tagged in today but not all - need to very much limit any interactions here.

Of course I also know you will be heading off soon and that is not something I want to face either. I so much wish you weren't going anywhere right now but I also know there are some other wonderful people here I can lean on if I can face here. I very much expect that I will not be around while you are away and will be counting down the days until you return. I also know that if these new meds don't start working soon that I will likely end up in hospital - and that is not something I can handle. My pdoc knows how much that the thought of that is affecting me and is doing everything to keep me from that option. That is how low I have sunk.

That is not what you need regarding the house Hon. The trip away will be stressful enough and then coming back to move will undoubtedly add so much more pressure on you. I hear you about being able to organise things a bit better in this new place but moves in themselves are stressful - let alone being straight after a trip and with the beginning of the new semester - you are right - it never rains but it pours!

The move would make a massive difference once the dust settled @Zoe7. That’s the only way I could even contemplate it, and it will enable us to start bringing what was our home in the West over here, which is also bringing a sense of permanency with it ....

I will be looking in on the forums when and as I can while I am away, even though I can’t post, so I will be here in that sense.

I certainly hope you start to feel the difference with your new meds soon. I am so glad there don’t seem to be any side effects🌷.

Hi @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Appleblossom .... anyone else around 💕

I will try to post to you while you away so you still have that connection but I can't promise it will be every day @Faith-and-Hope - but I will try 💕

It will be good for you to be able to make a 'home' there so you feel more at ease at where you are living. I can see there are some up sides with that but it still concerns me that you have been cut off from your life in the west to a great extent - you supports are a long way away and you have very little in the east. That is something I really wish was different for you

@Zoe7

Finger crossed the new med starts to work for you. I am pleased you've had no side effects thus far that might be a good sign for you Zoe. I am so sorry you're struggling atm, its quite uncomfortable place to be in currently. When will you know about hospital and I do know how scary that would be for you, and how attached you're to Toby and C. I am taking Kira back to vet tomorrow for her checkup after surgery and then going to the movies after this.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

How are you hon? How long before you head OS- where are you heading to?

@Zoe7

I will be trying the peppermint tea tonight @Faith-and-Hope

For Community Guidelines and anonymity I can’t give exact details @oceangirl, about when I am leaving or where I will be at any given time, but we are headed to summertime weather and in another week- ish ..... but thank you for asking 💕

Anything you can post, and whenever you can, is fine by me @Zoe7 . There will undoubtedly be some sticky moments, so those seemingly small posts mean an awful lot when I can check in here and find care and support. There will also be some times, people and places that bring me joy ..... as with everything else in my life, it seems, it’s a rollercoaster ......

I'll do what I can @Faith-and-Hope and try to post at least to you every day 💕

How did you go with all your slides last night - did you get them finished?

All good @Faith-and-Hope
