Something’s not right

-Enigma-

-Enigma-

I have given up now - no one can say it was not without a fight. But then no one on heaven and earth would give a damn anyway. I gave from the heart and it was a joy to help others. I felt such peace with that. I never did it for anything in return ever, I did it because I truly cared and felt so much genuine compassion towards others. I was promised dreams and peace would come true even though I never asked. It felt so good to know I made someone's lives a bit better.

Why is it that people like me are then faced with so much heartache, injustice, trauma and adversity that seeks to do everything in its power to destroy that good, to take the little good and peace I had, to utterly destroy me. Why?

I had always been there when possible others times of need - now that I truly need someone I have been all but abandoned by those I knew and those in the spirit. I realise now everything was a lie and feel utterless helpless and lost. I have lost everything and don't see the point in being here. I hope I don't wake up to another day of despair.

Re: Over The Edge

I am sorry you are having such a rough time of it with your daughter too @Former-Member. I would encourage you to set your boundaries and remain polite but somewhat removed, and firm within them ...... the distract and self-care for all you're worth ...... paddle your way out from under that storm and get to somewhere else emotionally, as @Maggie said, so you don't get overwhelmed by the mental replay and all the repeat-hurt that goes with all of that ..... paddle away from it and towards your garden, a garden, any garden, sunshine and a good strong cup of tea. Self-soothe and leave her to herself, like a tantrumous toddler that has been safely contained.

Re: Over The Edge

😂😂😂😂lol @Maggie - I needed a laugh. My husband would also appreciate that one 😅

Who could resist that adorable look in those fur babies eyes. So cute 😍 Thank you for the boost. Feeling a bit better now.

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope for your support. It is a type of tantrum, her life stressors she takes out on me at times. Not sure what has her in such a bad mood - probably to do with a ex boyfriend or something. And it does trigger all those mental scars caused by enormous hurt for me when she is cold - at the time is emotionally suffocating for me. It immediately throws me back to the time I had a major breakdown - this I couldn't go through again and it scares me. To which I keep telling myself it will not. I am also feeling weak from sickness and looking after my husband whom is ill too. Not a good week. I can't wait to be able to get back into life doing things - so much prevents this at times. It really has been never ending these past few years

I have been struggling with depression most of the year and am hoping this will turn around soon - for all of us. I so need a balance. Here's to a better future for us all 🌹xx

Re: Over The Edge

@Former-Member It has been warmer here today (late teens) but very windy all day It is a triple whammy right now - windy, getting dark and the temperature has dropped significantly! I am not coping with this all too well but there is nothing I can do!

I can see life is pretty tough for you right now too (and I am not much use to anyone atm) so sending you all my love and some of these....

Re: Over The Edge

@Former-Member I thought you would get a smile, good to know there is still one there. Just tiny steps, they add up, and rest. Warm hug coming your way.

@Zoe7 A warm hug coming your way also. Raining, windy and cold here too, keep your doona on and your Toby hot water battle close by.

Re: Over The Edge

My Toby hot water bottle is snuggled in for the night - he has had his crazy few minutes running around the house and is now asleep @Maggie It isn't as cold tonight as it has been but the temperature is supposed to drop significantly again tomorrow. Looks like it will be another donna and two blanket day

Re: Over The Edge

@Zoe7 I'm in bed with fur baby snoring. Unbelievable how loud a small dog can snore. Hope you are ok. Take care down there in the cold. Hope your heater comes soon. Warm hug.

Re: Over The Edge

I'm on the couch with Toby now spread out on his back He is a sweetheart His little legs are resting on me @Maggie. Toby occasionally barks in his sleep - he is so loud that it makes me jump so high it is a wonder there aren't holes in the ceiling lol Hugs to both you and your fur baby
