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.

I know you’re not about much on the weekends at the moment, @Phoenix_Rising, but I just wanted to pop in and let you know I’m thinking of you. I hope you’re doing okay and that the waves aren’t too big. 🌷

It is Monday eve @CheerBear...and the eve of the eve of turtle whisperer day.

And on that note, I am disappearing from Forum Land so that I can get stuff done so that I can then try and figure out the doing bit of our DBT adventure, which a pesky little carebear was soooooooo busting to get to.

So tomorrow you can say that tomorrow is Turtle Whisperer Tuesday @Phoenix_Rising 🙂 That's way better than Sunday.

I'm heading to bed early tonight. Hope your day has been ok.

Re: Riding a wave

I am superly duperly struggling right now. I feel utterly hopeless. I am 40 years old, the last of a generation of my family has just died, and I have zero hope of ever having any sort of a career. Right now I am feeling angry and restful because people less qualified than me seem to be able to get a job and be regarded as an "expert" while dumb-arse me sits around on the DSP experiencing all the disempowerment and invalidation that goes with being a "consumer." I have giant angry feelings and giant hopelessness feelings. All I ever wanted was a career. I've known for years that I was never going to be successful in the interpersonal relationships thing, but I truly thought that if I just tried hard enough I could have a career that would consume my time, passion and energy. Now I know it is almost certainly never going to happen. The much more likely outcome is that I will spend the rest of my life on welfare with occassional paid gigs supplementing that payment. That is not what I spent 12 years at uni for. I feel utterly utterly utterly hopeless.
