Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
Not too bad @CheerBear ..... every now and then I get so tired of sitting in limbo, and trying to keep my kids treading water too .... we are living a pretty surreal situation, but them's the breaks .... that's what we've been dealt.
If I let a sense of hopelessness take over I would be struggling with depression over it, so I have to hold those feelings at bay and focus on what is doable .... the parts of our life that are still on the rails and manageable.
My belief system is that if we can keep walking through this with the best integrity we can muster, there will be positive outcomes in the end ..... we are, in fact, challenging negative behaviour patterns, and it looks like a thread of mi issues that have gotten out of hand.
Everybody will learn new and better ways as a result of this, but it's a painful road we are on, and more ahead of us yet, and I am weary.
Forum hugs help to keep me going, and just being able to spout a bit about how much it sucks .....

It sounds like it really does suck sometimes @Faith-and-Hope. I have so much respect for your ability to protect yourself and your kids from allowing those negative thoughts to take hold. Huge hugs faith-and-hope ❤

@CheerBearyeah coffee break sounds just the thing... a sit down with @Faith-and-Hope and let her unload a bit. I have a feeling she doesn't use a lot of shoulders to "cry" on. What do you say to that my feely friend, would it be a good idea?

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
Hiya .... I'm back after running errands ..... ❤️
The thing about being in limbo is that it's not solvable until something tips the balance ..... this rhing has been going 8 years now .... so I have cried on shoulders at critical times .... and then have to keep soldiering on cos otherwise I will get stuck on the crying stage ....
"Need a Shoulder" is my original thread on Carers forum btw .... cos I sure did need one when I first found the forums, and it was Eating Disorders Vicroria who suggested it to me.
It's a heavy load to carry, but y'know .... even with all the dramas we have had, and I've had a rollercoaster ride of a life, you meet other people who struggle harder, and longer, and they keep swimming .... and it's inspirational towards just keep on keeping on yourself.
Thanks guys .... 😏💐
