Thanks for sharing @Former-Member . It sounds like you are going through a lot at the moment. I can only imagine how much the immense pain is impacting your overall mental health and wellbeing.

I hope everything goes smoothly for you and you can get back to doing the things you enjoy.

My heart goes out to you. I hope to be able to be beside you as you navigate this. So you are going in on the 22nd August?

Hi @Dimity any luck getting more quotes for your fence?

Sitting with you my friend 🧡

Hello @Former-Member

I'm very sorry to hear you've been feeling lost, unwanted and alone. And I know you're battling severe chronic pain and making plans for surgical interventions.

I've definitely been concerned for you and had been trying to offer support but I know I'm not very good at it. And yes I have been posting less since a troubling interaction on another thread a week ago. But I'd be very distressed if this has spilled over into other threads you've been participating in, and making you feel uncomfortable.

I've had a lot going on. A long standing family situation continues to worry me and I have two different medical investigations pending. I've loved chatting about our cats and gardens and respect our sharing a little about our challenges. I think our respective backgrounds of trauma are sometimes at play in how we react to things.

No, I haven't progressed with the fence. I've contacted quite a few contractors but will have to persevere. I'm also under a lot of pressure from family to put in place or change legal arrangements.

I guess I share your feelings of being adrift at present. Please know however that I do care about you and I greatly appreciate your reaching out. I suggest we try to be gentle with ourselves and each other over the next few weeks and try stay in touch...

Tiger and I send best wishes to you and your two.

And yes I have been posting less since a troubling interaction on another thread a week ago.

sitting with you both

Hello @Shaz51 sorry to be cryptic... definitely not you. And I know you've had a quite a week with all your test results coming back and trying to see what's coming next. Waiting until the next review seems to take forever sometimes.

We older ladies often have worries for ourselves and others - our trust and friendship mean a lot ..

An interaction on the Advoacy thread upset me quite a lot. I'm truly sorry that ihere've been ripples out from that.
