Life and trauma

@Ru-bee I've been doing a couple of pictures but haven't finished them yet. Watching Buffy and Angel still. One of the episodes I just watched was a bit triggering for me.

How has your day been so far?

Oh yeah, looove those shows but they do have some tough subject matter at times @Former-Member What season are you up to?

My day has been fine, I got up early so I could do some sewing before work which was a pretty nice way to start the day. Feeling tired now though

@Ru-bee Buffy I'm up to season 7 episode 1 and Angel I'm on season 3 episode 22. Yeah l there's a couple of episodes that have touchy subjects.

Sewing would have been a nice way to start the day, can imagine the early start though would be starting to take its toll.

@Former-Member

Ignoring everything else going on, the housing issue is such a stressful thing to go through even on it's own, so just to be doing okay with that alone is a lot of credit to you.

@MJG017Thankyou. It's so frustrating that everyone i ring keep giving me the same response 'there's nothing we can do' and then try to suggest amother place. I've tried everyone possible.

What have you been up to today?

@Former-Member

Unfortunately, and sadly, there just seems to be so much demand for services like this these days. But hopefully with a bit of luck and persistence you can get some help. Maybe even writing to your local MP for what it's worth. Sometimes you can get them to pull a few strings for you.

A very slow days so far. I got an email reminder this morning about an online training session tomorrow and to let them know if I don't have a link yet... which I dont, so waiting to hear back. Apart from laying with Luna for a bit, that has been my day so far. It's just one adrenaline filled day after another! 🤣

@MJG017 that's the thing there is so many people in this position. I have something up my sleeve now, someone is hopefully going to advocate for me and see where it can get us. Well that's my plan of attack.

In other news the ambulance showed up and they are waiting to hear back from my doctor and then said they would ring me back to say what's going to happen.

Sounds like such a thrilling day for you 😂. I had lunch but now I regret eating cos my stomach is in knots.

@Former-Member

Well that at least sounds like a positive lead. I really hope it works out, I'm sure it would be a massive stress taken off your shoulders! At the very least you have some support working for you now and this so that is great!

I guess we just wait and see what happens with the other news, and see what your Doctor says. Other than all that, how are you coping with everything at the moment?

@MJG017 it's nice that I have someone on my side and that they are willing to step in to help me. This person has proven to be a support to me over the years but only when I desperately need them. I even had someone come with me today to the meeting which was organised at the last second.

My doctor rang me and we chatted for a bit, he is concerned but isn't at the same time cos he knows me and knows I'm not going to jeopardise my situation by doing something stupid. Right now I'm having moments where I'm ready to fight this and thinking that I'm not going to go down without one hell of a fight but seconds later it's all crashing down and i feel like giving up and throwing in the towel. So I'm a bit all over the place but I'm ok, my head is absolutely pounding and I long for bedtime.

@Former-Member

I'm glad you have some in-person support there, even if it only comes when you desperately need it. This would count so it should help you a lot in managing everything.

As long as that version of you that wants to fight keeps popping up, then just keep listening to that.
