Nothing

Hi y'all 🙂

@TAB here's a garden fairy for you (you just have to imagine the wings - apparently garden fairies mowing isn't a thing on google 😕 lol). Hope your ribs feel better soon

@Former-Member - sorry to hear you're in a bit of a rut too. I think it's really helpful sometimes just to be able to share how we're feeling and have someone listen or notice - so as far as having much to say, I find it's often enough just to have someone say I'm here and can hear you. Which you did for me last night 🙂 So I am here and I hear you're in a bit of a hole too and I feel how much that can be hard My one's are all little school aged - fun and tiring. I have just come home from an appointment with a new worker. I'm feeling rattled today so I am about to take the bike out and burn it off. It's humid now so not ideal but I need to move today. Loud fast music in my headphones and some muddy bike paths should do it. I do better with feeling like this than feeling down and sunk so that's a positive. I really REALLY want to get my crochet out so maybe that's my plan this afternoon evening. I'll try and find a crafty thread to a pic of it on because it's very colourful and fun. What are you up to for the rest of the day?

Hope everyone else is going well 🙂

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope

Hello @Former-Member, I know that feeling - hence the tablets 🙂 I remember having to face the school for my child who was being bullied. They did nothing, saying they needed to 'work it out' themselves. Luckily I had an angry partner at the time and he chased the bullier down a drain pipe. That bullier went from being a bully to my child, to my childs first heart throb I think 😉

Does anyone ever worry that thier behaviours affected there children, teaching them the wrong things. And yet my child has done so much better than me - that's all a parent can really ask for, isn't it?

I'm going to re-schedule yesterday's plans and try to put the dishes away and pick up that bl**dy broom! 🙂

and I'd like not to get lost on my walk this afternoon. I got lost driving to the local state forest yesterday, and it's literally just around the corner.

I'm a little worried about my disorientation, whether, no offence, it has something to do with this site. Well, not really this site - but me thinking

I'm so glad to hear that your partner at the time chased after the bully that was bullying your child. It really sucks when schools don't do anything about bullying. @Former-Member

Mine was bullied many years ago and I had the same trouble with the school. Mine doesn't get bullied anymore and hasn't for a long time. I taught her how to stand up for herself and she does that well.

I'm pleased that your child has done well too. I do understand what you mean about, do our behaviours, anxieties etc affect our children. Mine certainly was in some ways, but I have spent alot of time chatting to my daughter about "life" etc and how to overcome and have confidence, self esteem etc. Thankfully, she is doing very well. It is a relief when our children turn out well. Do you have one or more children? Are any living at home with you now? Please don't feel you have to answer anything.

Anyway, I made the phone call to the school @Former-Member @Former-Member I was very nervous. It was regarding a teacher, but my phonecall was appreciated and my request was accepted, yay! Accomplishment done.

Sorry to hear about you getting lost @Former-Member and about feeling disoriented. That's no good. Are you feeling extra stressed lately?

I remember you mentioned about not recalling parts of your life in the past. I can relate to this. I have recently started up counselling again and last week I recalled something that I'd forgotten. I still don't recall many parts of that time in my life, so I do understand. It was from when I was a teenager until my 20's. It was a time I'd rather forget. Years of alcohol and self medicating. That would have alot to do why I don't recall certain times.

Feel free to share anytime, if you feel like it.

Regarding the forums. I know that when I first joined on here, I used to get quite overwhelmed and triggered. I found it difficult chatting on too many threads and it became stressful. Now I try and only chat on a few threads. That helps. Just thought I'd mention that, as perhaps maybe you might be trying to chat on lots of theads and this could be making you feel a bit stressed, just a thought.
