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.

@Phoenix_Rising - and if it helps, even in the tiniest of ways, I'm watching over the forums tonight as you sit so uncomfortably on that pause button. Sleep is evading me as SI is consuming almost every brain cell I have.

Me too @Sans911

Brains simply aren't made to be put on pause after a traumatizing event. Brains simply aren't made that way.

@Phoenix_Rising I'm not good with words, frustrating mostly, but just bringing in this little mermaid, I don't know if turtles and mermaids get on, but both live in the sea. ( hope I got that right). You do matter, so very much.

I feel less alone in my muddle now @Former-Member and @Former-Member.

Re: Riding a wave

You did so well at capturing us all sitting on the pause buttons, I love how I only just fit on mine and I am glad you feel less alone now @Phoenix_Rising

Re: Riding a wave

@Former-Member @Former-Member I am trying so hard to be brave but my brain is getting more broken by the day. I understand that we have to wait for NikNik to sort out the Forum Land muddle, but I really really really need some support around the phone muddle. I really do. Please hear me. I've waited and waited and waited and watched my brain break more and more. Please can someone explain why three weeks on, I haven't had a chance to work through the phone muddle. I'm trying so hard, but everything is getting darker and darker in my world. Please help me.

I do not matter,

I'm only one person,

Destroy me completely,

Then throw me away.

@Faith-and-Hope I can't do this anymore. I need help and no one will talk about it. I can't do this anymore.
