Re: not coping

Thank you so much @Former-Member ..... 💐💕💜 ..... I really needed to hear that.

My situation is really not okay at the moment @Anastasia. I have a firestorm to get through, but there will be life and love beyond it ..... just focused on what is in front of me day by day, and managing so far. I am enjoying my studies, which is helping keep me grounded.

Re: not coping

I know it's not a proper solution @outlander, but I have never thought to ask before whether heat brings any comfort for you ?

Re: not coping

thanks @Faith-and-Hope sometimes a heat pack works depending on what it is but atm its my whole body thats just aching. my head neck chest and back are the worst. ive had a hot shower already and taken some pain relief and done some stretches but it hasnt helped yet. i think its time for a massage but i just cant afford it atm with everything happening here.

Re: not coping

Yeah @outlander ..... I get that. A massage was one of my coping strategies too ...... that really sucks. Heat helps me too as a stand-by.
