Hi @Maggie, also @Zoe7 @Appleblossom @Faith-and-Hope @CheerBear.

So sorry Maggie that you are not coping well at all right now. But ... not having to go into hospital is a plus I guess. Lets hope that continues. Any progress on your new home? Lots of love and hugs to you too my dear. You're always in my mind and heart.

Sherry

@Former-Member I looked at a flat last Friday, going back this Friday for a second look. If the financial side of things fall into place, I will move there within the next two weeks. It's small, but ok. I will only sign a lease for 3 mths so I can get a feel for how it will work for me and fur baby. Thankyou for your thoughts, you know they are always appreciated. I hope you are okish. I also think of you often. 💜💕💛

@Shaz51 Thankyou for your post, always good to see you drop by. I read elsewhere, I think, that you are busy and tired. Sending warm thoughts your way.

Re: New Post: Re: Taking the plunge

I've talked about a broken hear/soul before. It's not a new experience to me, more a life's experience. But there's something more than that, something I can't find words to express. More than crushing, more than invisible. Is it my lack of having a core???? I've tried for years to put back the pieces of a fragmented core. I've read every living being has a core. I'm not convinced. Too many things keep happening/shattering.

Does it go back to parental training, the instilling of your worth? If that never existed, where does the child, who believes is causing all this badness turn to build any kind of self value. And what if that worthless message gets delivered over a lifetime.

I'm told there are good people out there!!!!! Out where?????? I have found one in real life.

I'm more like a ghost of a person, someone who never really existed here in life. I can't connect with anything, things, people,myself, no connection. I have no trust, I doubt it ever existed in me. I think it's deeper than self hate. It's deeper than any words I can find to express, deeper than a feeling. I've searched, read, listened and craved to find anything I can identify with. I am deeply lost!!! I am out of reach. I fear I contaminate everyone, everything I come near, with a badness deep inside me.

Re: New Post: Re: Taking the plunge

I believe that trust in ourselves and in others is the hardest thing to acquire @Maggie - and when that trust hs been shattered by so many and so many times throughout our lives how do we ever trust anyone or ourselves. The constant mistrust of others leaves us feeling hollow and more often than not lost and in immense pain until the day that that pain no longer exists either because we just do not have any energy left to actually feel anything or the hurt is so great that we shutdown. Maybe this is where you are looking at the CORE of you - it is that thing deep inside that no longer feels - that does not mean that it is not there anymore but that so much has happened that you feel numb right to your core. It is a lonely place when you feel numb to your core - you can't interact with anyone, you feel all emotions yet you feel nothing, you don't know how you are going to get up each day and keep going and daily tasks seem insummountable - but we do keep going and it is often that small touch of our fur babies or the love shown from people here that keep us going - finding the small things that help us to continue to put one foot in front of the other is what sustains us Hon - and that is what we are giving you here - loads and loads of love
