Wishing all peace and some cheer at Christmas 🎄

Wishing all peace and some cheer at Christmas 🎄

Hello everyone on here,

Even though a difficult time of the year for many of us I would like to wish you all - SANE members and moderators - peace, goodwill, love, safety, hope and some cheer this Christmas. May you all find moments of togetherness, relaxation, giving/receiving and joy.

For the sick, lonely, poor and depressed, I pray someone touches your heart with kindness, support, hope and love giving the greatest gift of all - some inner peace - which is in the true spirit of what this time of year is really about.

And may 2017 bring your hopes and dreams to reality ❤️ Merry Christmas

Thanks @Zoe7

Good luck with your appointments tomorrow

I try to have a bit of structure when I have gaps in my appointments and try to catch with friends/family for some extra support and also plan some fun activities. What type of dog do have? How old is your dog? I have a ten year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, her name is Kira. I love takig her for long beach walks and I enjoy just hanging with her- they are the best companions and very loyal too.

I don't have an appointment for a while (psych appointment)- I think its two weeks from this Friday but I am not sure about my therapist I may see her between christmas and new year.

If I'm feeling up to it after 1st app will try some more Christmas shopping - if not probably home to sleep for an hour or so- that's what usually happens!

Toby is a little white fluffball (Maltese Shih Tzu cross - mostly maltese but with big floppy ears). He has an underbite which is very prominent when he is tired (soooooo cute).

He turned 3 today (well yesterday now) - that's probably why I have been buzzing all day - 'cos it was his birthday - my little cherub! I love taking him to the beach - would go everyday if I had the energy and it was closer - only half an hour away but the drive itself often is too tiring - being sick really sucks.

Toby makes me smile and laugh - he runs around and around to tire himself out the flops down and goes to sleep - it's really funny to watch - he goes a million miles an hour for a couple of minutes around the loungeroom or up and down the hallway and then he's out like a light! He is the reason I am still here (and my cat also). I would have ended it a few weeks ago if it wasn't for them! I looked at Toby and he looked at me with his cheeky little, smiley face and I just couldn't bare to leave him alone - it would have been too cruel - we are both so attached to each other.

I've rambledon again - I really should go to bed.

Hope you get to see your therapist between christmas and new year.

Take care

Hi @Former-Member,

Wishing you peace and moments of joy over Christmas. I hope it is a time of cheer for you.

Ive been very grateful for your support this year. I am really sorry that I have been in crisis at a few times you've tried to connect in the last few months. I tend to keep that 'I'm struggling at the moment' thread for when I'm in crisis. I've been worried that I've triggered you being a bit close to home with your daughter lately. I'm not sure whether you receive emails when you've been mentioned or not but I have tried a couple of times through the 'just checking in' thread because that is the place I feel safe not to trigger anyone (and I'm usually in a better headspace). I write this as I have come to care for you like to hear how you are going. I really don't want to creates waves for you. Please please don't feel obliged to respond to this. I always value your highly considered and thoughtful posts. I am really glad to see you around the forum and I always see the positive impact you have.

Anyway I hope this time of the year isn't troubling for you and wishing you and your family a ...

Hello my lovely friend @Former-Member

What a wonderful post - it really touched me and made my day! You are such a beautiful person and it does pain me to read that you had been in crisis. This was probably when I was off line for awhile dealing with my daughter's crisis - I wish I could of been there for you more.

I actually wrote you a long post yesterday but my iPad dropped out and I lost it 😩 Being late I didn't have the energy to rewrite it but wanted you to know that I am always thinking of you and am always here for you should you ever need me.

Life can certainly through some curveballs our way my friend, no denying that but somehow we will always work our way around them and move forward with the hope of better things to come. And they will come for you my friend. I have no doubt. Please hold that close to your heart, as you do your dreams and never let it go. Sending lots of love. Have a wonderful Christmas 💕
