How to accept help after a life of helping others

Oh thanks @Former-Member for being your lovely self. I'm glad you caught it, even if it has disappeared like Halley's Comet, passing through the Universe just briefly, then out of view, and landing on the Death Star back with Darth Vader at Sane Headquaters.

You and your brother have had the most terrible time. I do get triggered by things, and I am a very sensitive person unfortunately, but I couldn't read all that you've been through and not say anything to you, I would have felt awful and that just isn't me. I bet your sleep has been all over the shop and the anxiety absolutely unbearable at times. I was housebound with my anxiety before I came to hospital, and I completely understand how mad and over the top that must seem to people that don't experience it, but I could not leave my apartment, so if you have been the same there is no shame with me gurrll, I totally get it.

I am tired and it has been draining, I have spent 10 weeks in hospital so I am nervous about readjusting.

I truly hope that you are comatose very soon in a cuddle coma and that you are doing little things to comfort yourself. I will be thinking of you.

Take care, bug hugs, Corny Cuddles xxxx

Big hugs for you and bug hugs for your plants!

@Corny @Former-Member ..... 👋🌷💕

A summery hello to @Hope4me @Former-Member @Appleblossom @outlander all you girls need your swimmers today. Go down to the baths with the mermaids eh @Hope4me

Hopefully this post reaches you all and is not gobbled up by the Death Star. Corny's personality must be a bit much for some, or else Sane has invented their own version of Sane Snapchat at headquarters to make the mentals even crazier and question their own sanity just that wee wee wee little bit more.

Cuddle comas all round

Dear @Corny

So love your wonderful humour and persistence. ROFL

Note I have chosen the full available menagery for a very big laugh!

But also I hope you are doing reasonably ... as good as possible ... considering ...

at least learning how to put my frustrations into humour is a late and only emerging skill for me.

Its good I guess that @Former-Member acknowledged and allowed it.

Space for a joke and clarity so that stuff does not get buried under too many cloaked comments is importnat. Go Sane if we can actually get that happening.

Oh no I'm not exasperated Moderator, its just that ol mate @Former-Member had noticed that Sane had become Sane Snapchat and my post had disappeared. No hurt feelings, I must have been hallucinating, and then Sherry must have hallucinated too, and then we had a Twinsie delusion together. Its all good. Was there a Transformer called The Moderator or am I in the middle of a childhood cartoon fantasy all over again.

Hello @Appleblossom I am happy to read that you are doing well even though you spent some time in the ward the other night. The blossoms will be out soon, looking gorgeous. I hope that you are able to get out and enjoy the spring air if you feel up to it.

Hey @outlander I am not too bad. All in all I'm feeling pretty good, nervous about reintegrating into civilian life but anyone would be. I had a few tears this afternoon because its really sunk in that my baseline has changed forever, in the sense I have lost a lot of my resilience now. I'm grieving my losses,I used to be a strong person, but one wee little button can only take so much trauma and stress, and my nervous system is shot. It will restrict me, which is very upsetting, but there are others that have it much worse than me. I cheered myself up and went for a walk and bought my friends a present I saw in an antique store and I will give it to them tomorrow when I see them for lunch. They will love it and that makes me happy.

Take good care @outlander. I forget how young you are. I don't mean that patronising, I just saw somewhere you mention your age, it just breaks my heart seeing young carers lose their youth, because that was my life.

Heya @Hope4me

@Corny

Still love your humour. twinsie delusions are such a thing ...

I enjoyed a few sun showers and a rainbow last couple of days at zoo and saw a wonderful big cat strut her stuff.

My son is home so I am very happy about that.
