@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.
Goodnight @Phoenix_Rising! Sorry I had to slip away for a while from the Cook Islands for a brief rendezvous - mermaid duties call! 😛 I will be watching over the ocean tonight little turtle, rest easy knowing the little mermaid is there for you! I will make sure the oceans are calm tonight.

Re: Riding a wave
Just coming past on the amazingly fun inflatable unicorn to say hi and that I hope your day has been good @Phoenix_Rising🙂
I have treed today and am about to lie with my feet up on the wall and read a (seriously cool so far) book.
😄

Re: Riding a wave
@CheerBear I have treed too AND put my feet up on the wall. This yoga gig is kind-of cool isn't it! I will head over to the yoga thread shortly to see who else has treed today.

Re: Riding a wave
I have a giant wave of suicidal ideation. I will lie in my bed and ride it out. I just needed to tell someone so that I felt less alone. I am completely free to walk into my garage and end my life right now, but that would be a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I super super super want to die...but I choose to ride the wave. I don't need anyone to try and fix this or offer advice. I just needed to feel less alone. Thank you for listening.

Re: Riding a wave
Listening to you @Phoenix_Rising. I did the feet up the wall thing during my last yoga session. I didn't go yesterday but have booked into another Yin class this afternoon.
I can hear the crows calling outside. It's warm in bed. Might stay here for another 20 mins or so before I go out walking. It's cloudy outside; I prefer to have the sun out during my walks.

Re: Riding a wave
I have another giant wave of suicidal ideation. I super super super want to get up, walk into my garage, and end this pointless hopeless situation called my life. I feel utterly alone and utterly hopeless. And yet still I choose to lie here and let the waves crash over me. I super want to cease to exist right now...but I choose to ride the wave. Thank you for listening.
