GUESS WHAT!!!

GUESS WHAT!!!

Wow that was hard work & my biggest tagging attempt.

Basically, @EVERY 1 💗

Guess what?!

I only found out in the last hour - I have secured a new home for myself.

Woohoo!!🥳

I am relieved, dazed, worthy, confused! And lots of other things.

I have less than 3 weeks b4 I get evicted from current property that I have lived in for over a decade.

Now- going to this property to tend to my animals I get PTSD. I have spent a good part of the last 6 months 🛋️🏄

A huge weight has vanished.

I can care for my cats. I can afford to live independently. I can be my own person. I can have a chance, in this world. I can give.

I am in state of shock.

The stress & distress I have experienced, & things escalating - & now, it's basically, FINALLY all over.

Except for the moving all my stuff bit. Most of boxes are already done. This is ALL because of intense, amazing work of many PEER SUPPORT WORKERS.

I did not have the emotional, mental, spirit - to keep going.

It is my PSW who have basically been my angels.

Strangers, helping me - more than I have ever been supported before in my life.

Aaannndd ....it was all of YOU (even if I didn't tag you) the peeps on here, giving me kindness, reminding me of hope & the small nudges, to not give up. And, it was your friendship.

We don't have to see each other, to know there is another, like us, on the other side of these words. Reading, & seeing, & caring about each other. That's what friends are.

@TAB I never responded to your comment about 'normal peoples' , & how they absorb what they can & then walk away, that you wrote other day.

I didn't get it. You knew that. Later on, I understood.

There is a friend, underneath all that rough, manly, say it as I see it, sheep loving exterior.

I hope people see that in you. I didn't - you saw me, tho ♥️

As have soooo many here.

Ok, that's enough sentimental crap.

Love you all.

May you feel blessings surrounding you forever 😮

To EVERYONE who happens to read this - YOU too.

I am safe

I AM

 

Thankyou,

StanD

SO relieved you have a home and are feeling optimism and sense of security. Glad you are worthy. Glad the spt wkrs are helping. Big changes are difficult. I would not like to move house. Glad the forum has made a difference. Keep us in the loop.

Enjoy settling in with your cats.

What a relief @StanD - you absolutely deserve it. We are so glad to hear that you have secured a home for yourself.

Thank you for sharing this good news with the community.

Re: GUESS WHAT!!!

Thankyou @NatureLover for your beautiful support, & including quote. You have lifted me.

You all have @tyme @hanami @Appleblossom & everyone else who has replied.

Thanks @Appleblossom for your honesty about not wanting to move house! It feels good to know I'm not crazy!

I appreciate the work you do @tyme @ @hanami one day - maybe, I can support & pay it forward? I don't know what is in my future yet & like that.

Having the 2 of you backing me, feels cool 💜💙

I ALWAYS need people.

Re: GUESS WHAT!!!

Aw @StanD I'm so glad. So happy for you. You deserve to be lifted!

You always have so much to offer in the way of wise words so I know you'll be able to pay it forward one day (I'm thinking you probably have already, without you really realising!)

Let us know the ups and downs @StanD

There are always challenges.

We might get another cat. Maybe next year.

Re: GUESS WHAT!!!

Wow!

Thankyou @hanami I am only seeing this now.

This is beautiful & I think I needed to read this now. I didn't feel very good about myself. You added plenty of light to my day. You are beautiful. Thankyou, & thankyou for all the work you do.
