Far and Away

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

In transit again today and have to go again now .... found a brief moment with wifi .... will catch you later and answer the above.

Hi to everyone else .... 👋🏽💗💕

Re: Far and Away

@Zoe7 - that's not a nice end to your pysch session. You've got a lot of stuff that's unresolved from the last few months such as work, your sister moving and such. It's hard being on that state of constant emotional distress. I'm hoping it eases up (even a little) for you soon. 💕💕

Re: Far and Away

Beautiful rose @Faith-and-Hope. And love that shrub in the shape of a butterfly @Maggie. Hi to @Sans911 @Bimby2 @BlueBay @eth @Shaz51 @Former-Member @outlander ... etc

@Zoe7- Firstly ... well done on finishing the reports for the regular teacher. The reports for the reading group sound as if they can wait for a bit if you dont feel up to doing them this weekend. Make your health your priority for now .. please.

Psych sessions can be so so difficult, and it sounds like that was certainly the case for you yesterday. Not what you'd have expected when it started out as a gentle relaxation session. When you say it didnt end well ... was that in the latter part of your session, or only after the session was finished and you were back home? Just wondering if your psych knew things had turned from relaxing to triggering during the session, was she able to offer some help before you left?

Very true .. when our head is full of 'mush and triggered thoughts' sleep does not come easily, nor is it restful if it does happen. I'm really sorry you are going through all this again. I note that you posted your post here in the early hours of the morning, where you said you were feeling a little better. Although you did not want to fall asleep at the time, I'm hoping you have since fallen into an exhausted and restful sleep. There is no doubt that there has been so much happening for you over the past couple of months. More than that really. Its been one thing after another now, for 3-4 months for you I think.

Well ... I hope you find some chances for rest and relaxation over the weekend. I'm sure little Toby and beautiful Cat will cherish a chance to have you to themselves. Perhaps some sport to take your mind off things throughout the weekend? Tennis and cricket both happening over the weekend. Your WBBL team Hurricanes play tonight at around 7pm I believe.

Okay please take care Zoe and take all the time you need to get yourself right again. No pressure whatsoever to respond here.

Sending love and an understanding hug your way.

Sherry 💕🌼

Re: Far and Away

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, hope being in the west isn't too hard. I'm laying here wishing my son would come visit, do our sons ever initiate? Its good for you that uni goes into recess for such a long summer break, gives you some breathing space to work through home stuff. Thinking of you lots too 🌷
@Zoe7, sounds like you're having an exhale with the year, and those reports winding up. I never knew how involved teaching was before you here. Doesn't help that you don't know what's next (where you'll be placed next year), unsettling. Sorry you were triggered (are you able to talk about it?). Anyway, I can't add more than what's been said. No pressure to answer. You hang in there 💙

Had some more sleep this morning but still very weary. Will probable sleep some more this afternoon.

Love that butterfly bush Maggie - such a skill to grow, prune and sculpture such a beautiful piece

In regards to the psych session @Former-Member - it was a at the very end of the time and I said I didn't want to go into it - needed much more time than we had and I really did not want to talk about it yesterday. It made it hard to get through when I left but not talking about it was the right thing for me ...would have brought up so much more that I don't want to go into - just too hard. I am very much thinking that I need a break from seeing the psych again and that leaving things in the past is the direction I need to go. I honestly do not think that I will ever be ready to deal with some things and that continuing to try to move forward is the best approach. There have been a lot of triggers lately but on the whole I am dealing with them much better - even if it does not feel like that at the time. It is slight progress but progress all the same. As you know - there are some things that are just too hard to continue to relive and the impact of doing that is often so debilitsting that it consumes us. I cannot go through all that again - so choosing not to face the past is infact a positive approach to be able to find a way forward - it is hard though and there are still many, many things that still hit me and affect me day to day. It also means I still need to avoid as much as I can possible triggering situations to get through this right now ...and that still means disconnecting from people and situations where that can possibly happen. The other side of that is I very much miss people on here. Life is pretty difficult right now ...and is likely to be for a while yet with upcoming things to face. It is what it is and I just need to get through each day.

@Faith-and-Hope yes baby steps Hon ...that is all we can do hey
