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.

@Former-Member has come to watch over the ocean tonight @Phoenix_Rising but right now I suspect she is dealing with someone else's muddle. I know patience isn't your strong point (an understatement hey) but I am here still watching you ride the waves and I am sure she will return when she is able to little turtle.

I so very very VERY badly need to talk this through. I just need to talk it out. I'm so confused, why is this bad? I really really really need to talk it out.

I superly wish you were there with little turtle too @CheerBear

I also respect whatever decision you make - just as you have done for me - but I also selfishly would really miss having you around if you were no longer here (but that is about me and not you).

I'm scared @CheerBear. I know what I need in order to stay alive tonight. I need to talk this out. That's all I need. I really really really really really need to talk it out.

I'm trying so hard. I am using all the tools in my toolkit (including the one that society would deem pathological). I am trying so so so hard, but it feels like I'm wading through quicksand.

I'm so scared. I don't understand why the rules keep changing. @Former-Member I think I need to utilize the subclause.

Re: Riding a wave

The best thing to do in quicksand is to not move @Phoenix_Rising the more you move, the deeper you go - so for now - try not to move - sit with your big feelings and we will move through the quicksand to get to YOU!

Re: Riding a wave

I am here listening if you want to talk it out here, but I know you probably can't and that maybe here is not the right place for you to do that too @Phoenix_Rising and that seems like serious stuckness to me. We've done stuck before. We can do stuck some more if you choose.

Re: Riding a wave

That's the problem @CheerBear, I can't talk it out here. This is the stuckness. Talking it out would help so much. I just need to talk it out.

Re: Riding a wave

I get it @Phoenix_Rising you have to use your words - you can't just write it - it is the actual physical movement of speaking that helps you to unjumble some of the muddle
