Re: Taking the plunge
No expectations 💜 That felt powerful to read.
The ridiculous pressure I put on my self is crushing me right now. The expectations. The shoulds, must do's, need to's, never good enough's. The expectations some have of me and the demands on me. I can't do it. I need a break. Somewhere I can walk away from the expectations and recharge and reset but I can't get it. I'm feeling stuck. I know it gets worse from here in the lead up to the 25th of next month. Dreaming of running away. Maybe I'm just tired and maybe it's just a bad day.
I so badly needed to hear "no expectations" from someone somewhere. Thank you big lots @Maggie.
No need to reply. I'm super thankful for sitting and hearing ❤

@CheerBear I know it’s gig day. Part of me wishes it was a pj day for you, but it might only be wishes. Go as gently as you can with you. Thinking of you.

Re: Taking the plunge
Morning @Maggie and everyone
I was hunting for a coffee to bring as your message came through Maggie. Still hunting so it's a slow morning.
Thanks for your thoughts. I'll go in today and turn back if I need. Going in is so often a good thing to do so hopefully it will be today.
Feels like I've missed a lot here. How have the last few days been for you?

Re: Taking the plunge
That sounds like a good plan @CheerBear . I hope some there feel you, and sit with you, in whatever way that might be. Turn around if needed. 💙💙
My last few days have been tough. The dark cloud followed me across town. I’ve done this before, thinking a new address would be a new beginning. In some ways, many ways, it is, but in other ways, it’s the same old pushing through, hoping for blue skies.

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks @Maggie 💜 the team I'm in is super (they're all counsellor-y kind of people who get MH) so I'm pretty confident I can head in there and be OK even if I'm not so OK. Knowing that helps me get there.
I'm sorry the last few days have been tough 🙁 There's so much good in having that safe roof but it doesn't fix everything. I've found moving so intense and then the big crash after the move intense in other ways. I'm not sure if it's the same for you but I hit a bit of a "now what" often after full on things have passed.
How have you spent the last few days with the dark cloud around? I have a feeling you have a fundraiser thing happening. Is that something you're still doing (or perhaps already done if my memory is wrong)?
