Hi @utopia...... I'm hearing you too Hon.

I know this might sound insignificant, but it's not in fact ..... can you make a commitment to one task, on repeat, every day. That one task might be making your bed (not to perfection) or clearing the sink of dishes. Just one thing.

You can set it into a list of three things, and if you don't get to the other two, and just do the priority one, then you have met the commitment. If you are feeling rebellious about doing "the one thing", then do one of the other two things in the list, but the boundary is there, that something has to be done in place of "the one thing".

While it sounds insignificant, this is actually a commitment to recover.

Why "the one thing"?

Because you are exhausted. That was one almighty fight with W/C and you won, but it has knocked you off your feet again in the process, and all that momentum reached quite a sudden halt. You are resting now .... and you ought to be resting with support to keep moving forward as you rest, but that support is awol at the moment - as in absent without due leave - and you don't have the stuffing to get up again yet and sort them out .... again .... along with the bl%dy washing machine which is just salt in the wound.

Stuff them !!

Get up and make the bl%dy bed .... or do the bl%dy dishes ..... he's your son, not theirs, they don't give a stuff about that, you do, you want him back. Making the bed, doing the dishes, doing something is holding to that promise, that commitment, and you can do that ..... you can do "the one thing" that helps to hold the fort while you rest, recover, and build up the strength to go sort them out again, and get your son back home where he belongs, with you.

Dont even tell us what "the one thing" is if you want .... but please begin to post here that you got " the one thing" done today ..... please .... ?

I believe in you .... 💐💕

Just checking in on you @utopia and letting you know that I have been thinking about you. Hope you have a washing machine that works and have had some happy moments.

Hope you regain some energy and purpose @utopia. Little steps - that's enough. Thinking of you.

Hope it's innocuous @utopia. I mentioned one to my GP. She said that because it was on my face, I had to go to the skin cancer place. Will see to it when I get back.

How are you today? Good that you have been out and about. Still tired? Or feeling more refreshed now?

Hi @utopia - better to get these things dealt with sooner rather than later. Hope it's nothing serious. It seems very routine these days to get these things removed. Are you very fair-skinned? I remember as kids we'd be out in the sun all day, no sunscreen. I've been OK so far, not had anything removed but I always keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. One of my teenage daughters has that snow-white scottish skin and it's so hard drilling it into her head that she will be coating herself in SPF 50+ for the rest of her life. Never bloody listens - got burnt to a crisp earlier this year.

Well I woke up at 1pm today and have slept on and off until 7pm.

Feeling shaky. Nervous. Not sure, but just off. Something isn't right. Maybe I need a PRN. Maybe I'm anxious.
