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.

It's called "This is a Ball" @Phoenix_Rising

I got the muddle line wrong but here it is

It's funny 🙂 The feelings one is beautiful. It's called "In my Heart - a book of feelings"

Re: Riding a wave

@Phoenix_Rising I can see that you have been riding the waves in a category 5 storm all night little turtle - I so wish I had been here for you I know the only place you feel even a little bit of safety atm is snuggled in CB's pocket - so I am going to stay sitting on my rockstack, on the beach, watching over the ocean, all day - just so you know that I am not far away but still here for you!

I have my GP appointment this morning but after that I am planning on camping on the beach ALL day today, ALL over the whole weekend - and for as long as needed. I have already set up the campsite so I don't have to move from the beach.....

Re: Riding a wave

I super liked the books @CheerBear. The storm is still raging. I badly need to talk it through. I know the storm will pass but I also know this one is doing further damage to my puddled brain. I know what I need in order to minimise the damage - I need to talk it through with someone. But there is no one. I know the storm won't k*ll me, but it is damaging my brain and there is nothing in the world I can do about it. 😔😔😔 This is hard @CheerBear @Zoe7. This is so so so hard.

Re: Riding a wave

I'm glad you liked the books @Phoenix_Rising. I do also and I hope the LF do too.

It's so hard to be able to identify that something is causing head damage, but not be able to stop it. It is so hard 😞

I am really hoping you'll get a chance to talk it through with someone soon.

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear @Zoe7 do you want to pick another story that we can read?

Re: Riding a wave

Would you like another of my most favourites @Phoenix_Rising?

We have bookshelves to go through if we'd like 🙂
