Progress..

Progress..

Hi,

A special second thank you to @tyme

You said recently "we are sitting with you".

I found that very non-judgemental and true support.

I had an amazing lunch today with half a dozen powerful, intuitive women..

I came home to toxicity and awfulness, then after the said person went out, I activated my network. I've asked someone with many good contacts to try and help to find an apartment or granny flat for me.

My "person" also told me today that he's thinking of leaving me. I'll play that one carefully because he sometimes uses that as a manipulation.

I also had a big talk to my mum today about what makes me stay in this relationship which was good.

At the end of the day, I'm growing and I'll get there. Never give up guys. If anyone is going through a messy or distressing situation, please don't stop creating positive motion, even if it's smaller steps than you wanted to make. Forward is forward whichever way you look at things, you just have to keep liking and loving yourself. Alice10

Re: Progress..

Hi @Asgard I just wanted to pop by and say that I related to this feeling. I've noticed it a few times more recently when going through periods of positive change in my life, I find myself going through periods of feeling flat, or of not always feeling like I "should" or like I expected to.

It helped me to remind myself that change is hard, even good change, because humans tend to like what we know. I'm not sure if that might feel true for you in your current experience, but I just wanted you to know you're not alone in these feelings.

Hi @Asgard thanks for the check in..

I'm going to be honest. I've searched my soul including literally sitting on the mountain top with a girlfriend and talking... My "person" is commencing addiction (alcohol) counseling this week and I have decided to join a support group for people living with a close person to them who abuses alcohol. I just may say, that I will be expecting mixed or no responses from this post, but I'm a smart girl, and I'm putting one foot in front of the other in an empowered way, previously not in an empowered way. Cheers.alice.

Thank you for sharing this update @Alice10

It sounds like you've made some fantastic progress here and it's wonderful that you're feeling empowered in this.

I hope that this counselling is a positive step forward for your person, and for yourself, and I'm so glad to hear that you'll be accessing peer support from this group.

I'll be looking out for further updates, should you want to share but for now I'm glad that you've taken this time to acknowledge these developments
