Red's house

Red's house

Hi, I haven't been here consistently for a little while. Shutting myself off felt safer. I was formed after being suicidal last month. I needed to remove myself from online worlds for my safety and that of others. I'm doing better now, I'm just stressed out.

I enrolled myself to full time study at tafe in a few weeks. Getting that all done pushed me to my limits. But im looking forward. I have dreams. I have hopes. I have desires.

I want to pursue my business and my art talents. I will be doing a cert iv in business to give myself the skills to thrive in this. I want to have a future, which is great but scary. It gives the opportunity for failure. But also success. I got this.

Breathe, Red, breathe, create you're safe place. This thread I'll be hanging out more and try not to be too down or hard for myself. If anyone wants to hang out at my place they are always welcome.

There's always tea and coffee, with biscuits if desired. In this winter the fire is on and we can Chillax

Re: Red's house

I feel sad. I just said goodbye to my OT. I worked with him for over 2 years.

I wish him the best, it just sucks though he really helped me a lot.

It's always hard when professionals move on. So much in my life has changed in the last few months. Sigh. Will it stop.

Re: Red's house

Aww @The-red-centaur that really sucks!! It is totally okay to grieve, this is a significant relationship loss, regardless of its professional nature!

Sounds like you're really craving some stability at the moment hey. Hope there's nothing else looming on your horizon?

Re: Red's house

@tyme its like one thing after another the last few months.

I use to feel like I was actually making some way in life and recovery. Then my life has fallen apart since august. I was getting to comfortable maybe. I had hope...now idk.

Re: Red's house

Change can be very very hard @The-red-centaur , but sometimes it's good for us so that we can grow as people.

It reminds me of the pain caterpillars go through during metamorphosis, but once the change happens, it makes them beautiful individuals. Hold on to that. 🙂

You have come so far over the years. It hasn't always been easy, but you've defied odds to get to where you are now.

Re: Red's house

I miss my old house, my old support workers, my old case manager and now my OT has left. I miss having lungs that actually worked, I miss not having tinnitus, I miss not being sick all the time.

I want to give up.....I know I can't that this will be the new normal soon. It just suck and it hurts.
