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

@CheerBear super big thank you for being you. This muddle is GIANT and I super badly need help with it. I am not sure that I am going to make it to my volunteering gig. 😔 My world is totally upside down. I am probably going to fall back to sleep for a little while and I am super glad I can do that in your pocket. I am so so SO confused. Last night has done so much harm. How could this possibly happen in the only safe place in my world. 😔

Re: Riding a wave

I wasn't sure if you would get to your volunteering gig either @Phoenix_Rising 😞 I am glad you have a pocket and I believe that pocket won't change. I am super glad that pocket is with me because you being in my pocket helps me feel safe all the time.

I so get how much harm comes about through things like what happened, happening. I really truly do and I get how confusing it is.

Random but yesterday on my book shopping for LF adventure (that was totally horrendous), I picked up a couple of books and one I got for puffer fish has the line "I think you might be in a muddle". I didn't realise until I got home and read it properly. You can probably imagine my excitement at that when I saw it. Another one I got is about feelings and how they can be big or little, what they feel like and how they change etc. They're really cool.

I am going to race big to the shower now. I hope that falling back to sleep feels good. I will be here as always, even when I am not (but I will probably be here here today).

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear the wave has hit again. Right now you are the only reason I am not acting on the urge and it isn't ok for you to carry that weight. I need help. I need to work this through privately with Lauz or someone from the HC. I very very badly do.

Re: Riding a wave

It is ok with me for you to share the weight until it can be lightened @Phoenix_Rising. You don't need to carry it totally on your own. I get that it might not feel ok for you to do that and that's what's important, but I wanted you to hear that it's ok with me.

Re: Riding a wave

I have absolutely nothing and no one to live for...except for one melted snowflakey banana headed care bear. @CheerBear

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear last night was SO destructive. I so very badly need to talk it through with someone. I am still feeling the effects of the emergency medication. I super want to talk but I am sleepy too. I can see that this category 5 storm is going to keep going for quite a while yet and I am afraid.

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear what was the name of the book with the muddle line?

Re: Riding a wave

Category 5 storms are painfully hard and play tricks with time for me @Phoenix_Rising. Minutes seem like hours and hours like days. Category 5 storms that last for a while are big time tough.

I'll check the book and show you (sneaking off to get to the secret stash of hidden things under my bed - don't tell the LF 😉 )

Re: Riding a wave

I just re-read your post and I want to know the name of the feelings book too. If I can find them on youtube I can snuggle in your pocket and listen to "you" read them @CheerBear.
