Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Riding a wave

Hi all,

@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.

Re: Riding a wave

I will sit with you today @Phoenix_Rising

It sounds like you are being very critical and harsh on yourself today...I understand why but still feel that you need to be a bit more kind/compassionate towards yourself today. Just let things be as they are without telling yourself your a freak or anything else and let these thoughts wash over you as you ride this wave out. I will sit here with you while the storm continues and I know that you know this storm will find its calm, just like so many before it.

So for today...lets sit in the cave and admire all the pretty fish and coral that are around until you feel safe again

Re: Riding a wave

@Phoenix_Rising Hey little turtle I decided instead of making some pictures to decorate the cave I would get everyone together in there instead. It may be a little crowded for you but you have gone in 'incognito' so you know everyone is with you but we/they don't know it is you... I have also procured a specially made bubble for myself so I can stay underwater with you for as long as you need

Re: Riding a wave

Hello @Phoenix_Rising. I'm sorry to hear things went as you expected they would with A and that the conversation left you feeling as yuck about everything as it did. I wish things were different 😞

I hope you've been able to get the things you needed and wanted to do done this afternoon. Thanks for hanging out in my handbag today, it's been helpful for me. To make us laugh, Dr Havetodo has stayed inside a ziplock bag in my handbag, and it has given me a reason to have a half giggle all day thinking that some dreams can can true 😉

Maths is not my strong point but I think this day only has 9 hours left now. We're getting there.

Look what @Zoe7 made for me @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member. Don't you think that is the super coolest amazing picture ever!!!!!! @Former-Member you are going to have to leave the cave soon for the evening. Can you please tell whoever is moderating tonight where I am?

Uh-oh...I just realised that the moon is wearing underpants. Be careful @Former-Member there is undoubtedly a major weather event on the way!!!
