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

@Faith-and-Hope - that really pleases me as I do have faith in you. I think you will be delightfully surprised when you do get around to it. When you paint don't think about it - just "feel your way". We are always a lot harder on ourselves than others are on us. I am the same when I write....

I can't wait to see the end result of your artwork - sincerely. I love art. Please keep me updated 💕

Re: Over The Edge

Thank you @Maggie for your support. 💕💜❤️💜❤️ You are one of the few genuine people who so selflessly understands what I am going through and genuinely cares about others.. And I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you for your compassion. It's something I have always felt and tried to offer as well. There was some really good support from wonderful members on the worry room thread. There is some special people on this forum and I sincerely love hem.

I remember your words to me:- "you are a good person". I have always endeavoured to try and be, friends who know me say that too and I will continue to do as much good as I can, as that's always been my intention. I won't let my current difficulties or any undeserved criticism and unkind gossip any from any other person who I "never mentioned at all" whom completely misinterpreted my expression of my turmoil on my thread here, wrongly taking it personally when it had nothing to do with them, take that away in my most vulnerable moment. I know people here are not well, but I don't need this right now. It is traumatising me. I need support too and this is a wrong against me. I don't feel safe here now to reach out On my own thread! Ridiculous. Some need to know that it's not just about them but others are struggling too.

It's wonderful you took the advice and started your own thread. I am proud of the confidence you are showing - well done!!! It will go from strength to strength. I hope to keep welcoming new members here so worry not if I am not posting here as much as I will be spreading myself out. I am doing okay now 😊

Cant wait to see more of your garden pictures on your thread - it's so uplifting to see my friend, truly beautiful. It means more to me than you know as I find such peace in nature. I also look forward to your cross stitch pictures. I will put a pic of my angel up shortly. 💕🤗xx

Re: Over The Edge

@Former-Member Please never feel pressured to,post here, I know you want to help new comers, something very important. Your situation atm is so difficult you need support from wherever you can get it. Is there a cancer support team or group in your area, someone you can talk things through with? If I could put a stamp on my counsellor and post her off to you, she would be winging her way right now. Please @Former-Member dont put on a brave face here, I will sit with you through the dark times for as long as it takes. I know my way round in the dark, I can even plant my bum smack on the loo in the dark. Lol. Just having a giggle with you my friend.

Ive been waiting to see Angel all framed, I'll bet see looks a treat. I'll,post my latest efforts tomorrow.

Have you visited the community garden here? I visit daily as I too love nature. Maybe you could post a pic of your plants.

You are indeed a good person. No arguments from me. Thankyou for your encouragment about my thread, it's been difficult to do but there you go. Remember, you are not alone we don't have to talk, just sit by the candle. Here with you.

Re: Over The Edge

Hi @Maggie

The only problem with sending your social worker by mail my way is I may want to keep her lol. She sounds so wonderful 💕 I will try and look for someone similar who is perhaps attached to the hospital system etc. As I do admit it is hard going coping with this on my own. I have been guilty of trying to do that in the past thinking I can cope. But It's emotionally gruelling to wait in hospital rooms not knowing if I will ever see the person I love again alive or not again. Or receive bad news. It's frightening. I will start making enquires after tomorrow if I can get any support that way. Thanks for the guidance.

You cracked me up again @Maggie - you put amazing visions in my head of your skills in the bathroom dept hahaha. I love it! I needed that laugh my friend.

Sometimes I do like to talk - the trouble is I talk too much lol! I can't wait to pop onto your new thread and stick my feathers in and tickle your nose to say hello aha. You have boosted my spirit @Maggie - thank you. You are a jewel. And I am looking forward to seeing your cross stitch pics as well - will try and get some photos of my angel up on the weekend. She is framed up nicely 😊

I better try and get some sleep now - I have been having trouble with that lately but you have a magic way of relaxing me and I will sleep better for it. But no getting stuck in the Lou in the middle of night now. Bottoms up 😂😂😂 xxx

Hi @Maggie
I am sitting in the waiting room and thinking of you. Thank you for the support over the last couple of days. I reread your above post to me from yesterday. I am so pleased and proud to have been part of giving you the courage and your voice that now shines so beautifully on your new thread. I must be doing something right. It warms my heart that I helped you to feel welcomed here and encourages me to keep doing it with others. I also want you to know just how grateful I am for your support and friendship - something I will never forget. I hope you won't me. I can't keep posting here as I need to protect myself ( I know you understand) - worry not as I know I have done nothing wrong. That's life and not all will be grateful for help offered but I don't look for anything in return. Just respect and safety. But will keep welcoming and doing what I do well. Life will be good for both of us my friend. Sending much love always -

Re: Over The Edge

@Former-Member I'm just smelling the sea, feeling the breeze on my face, and squishing the sand through my toes. Thank you I needed that view right now. Your dream home is going to be just that, a dream, and by the sound of it, starting soon. Sending warm hugs.

Re: Over The Edge

Hello lovely @Maggie

I am starting to get very excited about the move there my friend. I am off to visit the site again today, going for a long walk along the beach this time. Yes, wish you could walk with us. Perhaps in spirit. I may post my photos, writings (ficition) and inspirational quotes etc here now perhaps. I am trying to get a good photo of my framed angel cross stitch without light reflecting off the glass. May have to drag my SLR camera out and try again. My friend saw it and loved the job the art shop did on the framing. Photo should be up soon my friend. Look forward to seeing your cross stitch too. You can post it here if you wish. I will pop over to your thread now and answer your post there. 💕💜❤️💜❤️🌹xx
