Taking the plunge

Really Sorry @Zoe7 💜
I’ve been watching TV and just came on here now. I’m in bed now. I love winter and having a doona on the bed. It’s been raining most of the day. Had to go to shops for hours. 😩
So Ive taken med to sleep, so can’t stay here long. But wanted to say , hi to you and @Faith-and-Hope 💜 hot chocolate for you both. ☕️☕️
Daughter has been very brave. She gets control of the fear. Sometimes she gets a scare and says, I don’t want to d i e. It’s hard not to stress when she worries. But she gets through it and moves on. She’s been getting distinctions at uni. Has made new friends and things go ok usually. Pretty up and down. People cause ups and downs. You know what I mean. I’m proud that she’s brave and a fighter. As the diagnosis was extremely serious. She’s waiting for operation for another very serious procedure. So it’s been really tough.
I’m waiting for specialist appointment, possible operation for myself. But can’t think about it.
It’s been such a huge stressful struggle time. Some days are worse than others. This week was scary. Fell in a dark place, fighting dark thoughts. As you know Zoe, it’s a challenge to fight through it.
Let’s hope there’s a light at the tunnel and for you too Faith and Hope and @Maggie

Very interested in finding out how you’re going too, but you don’t have to rewrite everything, I can read your thread another day. I really need to try and sleep now.

It was lovely to see messages from you. Thankyou. I’ve been gone for long. Was wondering if I’d been forgotten. 💜😘🌷🌸🌺🌼. So it was very nice to hear from you.
Nighty night. 💜💜💜💜💜💜

@Former-Member I was in bed watching home and away also, extra long on Thursdays. D sounds brave @Former-Member it can't be easy for her or for you. Distinctions at uni is really really good, she must be working hard.

I don't think you have to worry about being forgotten here @Former-Member how could we forget you anyway.

I hope today is okish for you. Take care.💜💜💜

Hi @Faith-and-Hope@Zoe7@CheerBear@Teej anyone else passing through.

Ha ha @CheerBear just wrote to you on another thread. Yes windy and rain here atm. I think you are happy with your haircut, too much to read through over there sometimes, specially when brain is fuzzy. Also any news of respite????? It's Friday and things move slowly in departments, so you might not have news. Hoping it comes through soon.💛💛

A fighting fish @CheerBear lol. I won't mention my hair, but I think a fighting fish might be an improvement for me. Is that LF version of the new look????

2 weeks is a long time when you need the break @CheerBear. I just get puzzled by the lack of movement from departments that are supposed to be helpful. I better not get on a roll, you don't need me raving on about what you know too well. I hope when to comes it will be restful. Will you take your crochet??????

Morning all on here.

@Former-Memberas others had said, I often think of you and your D and wonder how you are both going. I am glad she has some distractions and friends to help, but still must take a heavy toll on her and you. My thoughts are with you/

@CheerBearI am glad you have a time line for your break but 2 weeks is a long time to wait especially when it is much needed now. I do not understand why these things take so long. I hope with the support shown here for you that these two weeks go fast but I know that probably won't be the case.

@MaggieI think a whole thread could be made for mental health departments and it still wouldn't be enough! I hope today has some nice moments in it for you.

@Former-Member you could never be forgotten Hon - you inspire us with both your own struggles and letting us know what a fighter your daughter is Such a tough situation for you both but you find strength in each other and that is truly wonderful

We know how hard those dark days are @Former-Member but I find strength in those that are getting through them like you and your daughter are - true inspirations to us all here

Morning everyone ...... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
