Support for Flowerlove22

Hey @Sunnyside226 ,

I hope you don't mind me making this thread for you.

I just wanted you to know that the whole forums community is here to support you through this challenging time.

Please look after yourself. I recognise it's hard to look after three small children on your own.

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

Okay @Sunnyside226 , I'll wait the 100 years for this dream cake of mine, eh?

Pain and grief? Grief has no timeline. Talking about it can help a person move on. There a times when talking to a professional grief counsellor is helpful so that recovery is more attainable. Recovering from Grief does not mean you don't love the person you've lost. However, it means you've accepted the thing you cannot change, and you are ready to live in the present and make the most of it.

Even when your mum dad look at you now, what do you think they'd want you to be doing? crying, grieving? or moving on to support yourself and others?

Do what you think they'd want you to do if they were here.

I recently had touch with a family who suddenly lost their mother. It was absolutely unexpected. Soon after the death, the family had an overseas trip to America booked. The family thought it better they stay in Australia as it was soon after the death.

However. they sat back and considered, "What would mum want us to do?"

By answering that question, they took the trip to America, and this helped them with moving on.

Yes, I hear there is pain. But there is life too.

@tyme do you like sprinkles on your cake?

Yes I see a councillor but haven't for a while I got busy then she wants on holidays

I know mum would want me to move on and live a life do things I love

Dad couldn't care less I tried to help him I know he's watching me giving me shit and laughing , the only time I didn't answer he you know ... I know they both want me to be happy and healthy live but there's that pain inside me that I can't let go yes it may sound selfish

There's days where I just feel the pain more deep then others yes they is time where I think about hurting myself

It's been hard for me I feel like it was my fault I all always blame myself for it now matter what

Yes I have thoughts right now sometimes I look up to others as a mum because I lost my and I don't have anyone 😔 @tyme I'll be honest sometimes I look up to you I enjoy talking to you because you get me out of my anger ass mood you laugh with me joke around even if you don't mean it 😍

@tyme I'm sorry if that was weird post the last one I did

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

No @Sunnyside226 , It wasn't weird. It shows the real you. Just like the real me here.

We all go through similar rough patches.

TW: Self-Harm

Content/trigger warning

I self-harmed for many years. I was addicted to it. But the therapy worked with the underlying problems, then the self-harm dropped off. SH was a way of coping. Please note I am not condoning self-harm. I am sharing that I have also been down that path, but I'm still here to day.

I've got a few battle wounds and scars to prove I've been in the mental health battle. Yet it's been worth it.

My early adulthood was the hardest. It was as though I was thrown from being looked after and babied at school, to being let loose. From 17-26, I barely lived life. I just existed, thinking only to die...

Now that I'm the other side, I can share my recovery with others.

Sprinkles? Yes! Why not? However, there MUST be chocolate icing/frosting. On top of that, no thanks to the new 'sprinkles' which are the size of baubles! When you take a bite into the cake, it's like you've bitten on a hard rock.. the textures just don't match... but 100s and 1000s are fine because they are small and don't break your teeth.

Hey @Sunnyside226 ,

I've got thick skin. No way will I get upset. I like talking to you and getting to know you more too 🙂

Yes, I do have to go, but I'll be back later this week (Wednesday).

I'll tag you once I'm on?

Also, on Wed, remind me to show you pictures of the hard sprinkles I'm talking about.

I don't even like the hard chocolate bits in icrecream.. they just don't match the texture! I think I'm texture sensitive and hence I don't chew much. Which means, my teeth are actually not used much lol

Have a good evening. I'll see you Wednesday.

Hugs.

Hi @Sunnyside226

I'm sorry to hear you're going through some tough times right now, but I am glad you're still able to reach out and express how you are feeling.

You're not alone in this, and lucky for you, there's so many of us here on the forums who care about you and want to support you 🙂

Depending how you feel about this next part.. I am wondering would you feel comfortable sharing with me what's going on for you today?

Who else is around you, you could lean on for some extra support today too?

Warmest,
PizzaMondo 🙂
