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

Hi @tyme

I have somewhere to go and support, I'm just wondering when to do it. It's not going to be pleasant. I feel like I've been through enough and this is massive. Anyway, without raving on, yes, I have some family who are willing to be there for me while I start my new journey. They're basically waiting for me to say I'm on my way..

Scary times.

Alice.

Hi @Alice10 I am so glad that you have some family that are willing to support you while you start your new journey. I know it is a big step, but you are worth it 😊

Because the psychiatrist that I was referred to, will not allow me to use his report in my Disability Support pension application, my therapist has referred me to a different one, so I can hopefully submit it to help my claim. I have the appointment on Monday, but I am not looking forward to it, as it means I have to go through everything for about the 10th time. And it always alters my mood afterwards. And not for the better. But I am trying not to stress about it too much.

I also wanted to congratulate you on taking this massive step forward, even though you know it wont be pleasant. I took the same step, and I must say that 6 months down the track, I can see some improvements. It has been tough at time, but it is definitely worth it, and so are you. You have got this!

Hi @Alice10 @tyme

How are you Alice, am so sorry that I havent been in contact, I started a new job as a peer worker and I have been a tad shattered these past few weeks. I come home and collapse on the couch. But am getting less tired each day and the work is really rewarding. Hope this finds you well and that your lungs are back to working again. It really sucks when you are ill.

I have to read what you have been up to.

But am back to being a slightly less tired me

Look after yourself

@Asgard @tyme

Hi,

I've not been able, well, it's been too full on... for posting stuff, but my "person" has said he wants to leave which means I'll be keeping my home. He has today said this is definite. He already has somewhere to move to. I won't go into how this has all come about but it is actually feeling like a miracle. I've got somewhere to "be" and stay while he packs etc. That is the situation now. I never would have anticipated this. Starting to breathe easier. Hey Asgard, take it easy mate, look after "you" with new job, can be a stressful period. Lots of self kindness ✨️ 😌

Re: oRe: Progress..

Wow @Alice10 , things just seemed to 'unfold' the right way. Your persistence has paid off.

Please don't feel you are alone in what you are going through. We are here to support you. Any loss is a loss and there can be emotions tied to it.

Please look after yourself.

@Asgard , can't wait to hear more about the job! Hope you are well.

Re: oRe: Progress..

@tyme @Asgard

Well, I'm sorry for not posting. My ex reneged about leaving and things have been chaotic. To say the least. I have been, and still am going though grief, anger, and a lot of sadness. I am with family, and moving into a new place next week.

@Asgard hope you're good.

@tyme you were right about the loss part
