Good Morning!

Oh dear - that's a long night @Sans911 How are you this morning?

That sounds like a pretty epic series @Sans911!

Not too much for me to take in there. The standing on a cliff metaphor is one I have felt and thought of heaps in the past. When I jumped/was pushed I had a parachute (my strengths/survival skills) and there was a net to catch me (my 'team') even if I couldn't see it sometimes or it was gappy. And lots and lots and lots of rocks that I bumped into along the way.

It helped me to imagine there being more to it than jump or step back. I don't know whether that helps you, or what your jump/step back means or looks like though. Sending you big hugs, knowing it's a tough time for you at the moment.

I wish I could make it easier for you @Sans911. I can say that for me, there have been cosy safe resting spaces hidden during my fall/s, and strengths and skills I couldn't have seen until I needed them, and nets to catch me that appeared when I didn't expect and in ways I couldn't have imagined. All of those things have happened on my journey/s. Knowing that I don't know what lies ahead, is both terrifying and comforting.

Feeling with you Sans

Good morning @CheerBear @Sans911 @Former-Member @TAB @Former-Member.

Nice to see there are people up and about. Its nearly 8am for me in the Eastern States. But I too have been up all night, as sleep eluded me once again. I did come on here at around 3.30am, and found a few people on a couple of other threads I contribute to. It never occurred to me to check out the "Good Morning" thread at that time of night. I'll know to check here next time wont I?

So its another weekend, anybody doing anything special for their weekend?

That very much sounds like standing on a cliff @Sans911. I am tempted to share my most vivid cliff standing moment, as what you're describing sounds so scarily familiar (though I can imagine our situations are very different) but I don't know if it would be helpful. There was enormous pain, and it would have been that way regardless of whether I stood back or jumped. And it sucked badly. And was so hard (still can be).

Really, truly wishing it was easier for you and hoping so much that you can find comfort in something to help you through the lack-of comfort you're finding in your present situation and with the difficult options.
