Something’s not right

LOST

LOST

I feel like I've been chained to the bottom of the darkest pit since before the umbilical cord was cut. There seems no point climbing out, as I'll fall straight back down. Small steps are too hard and days and nights just merge together in an endless struggle. Even finding the right words is impossible. My fur baby is my lifeline, but right now I believe she deserves better, more than I can give her. There's no where to find comfort or belonging. Worse than hopeless, worse than dispare. Just lost.

Hi @Maggie

The weeds at our place are sprouting everywhere, but I'll think about pulling them out another day.

Gypsy is a rescue dog that I've only had 5 months. She's 12 years old but acts like a two year old, she is very agile. About a month ago I twigged where she got her name from...she bolted out the front door when I was trying to shut the screen door-probably only 2 seconds-and was half-way down the street before I knew what had happened. I spent an hour or so searching for her-it was getting dark-and just hoped nothing happened to her as she has no road sense and is a bit ditsy. Went inside and started emailing and texting shelters. Two hours later got a call from a vets surgery-real heart in mouth stuff-the vet advised me a lady had picked Gypsy up and wanted to drop her back to me. I was so relieved! There are times now she just wants to take herself off for a walk, but nooooo....

Enjoy the warm weather today and be kind to yourself. Take care.

Hi @Maggie

Your welcome - always here to support you the best that I can. Good to read that you contacted your social worker - what a treasure and comfort she is.

The struggle is tough but you haven't lost it. Sometimes we just get lost in the pain, bad memories and fear and those things take over for abit. Thats what it is like for me anyway. Thats why I savour the good moments, the peace, the good things, the love when I can. It's the balance. And that balance was getting a bit lobsided for me this year. But there is always next

Did you get out in the garden today? I am looking forward to seeing more pics when you are able. Hugs 🤗 💕

@Former-Member@NatalieS@CheerBear, sorry to reply to everyone all at once, but LOST, is where it's at right now. I have made a decision hoping to wade my way through this present situation, only time will tell. Yes I did do some weeding, my sanity right now. I know each of you are facing your own struggles, so let's put out tiny sparks together and hope a fire burns, bring warmth to each other. Thank you, I don't feel worthy of any help, so it means more because of this. 💕💜💛💕💜💛

Hi @Maggie

You are more than worthy my friend. Glad you have made a decision, I hope this resolve brings about some peace and healing for you. Gardening is good for the soul - when I move I will create a new one, smaller but it will be beautiful ( I hope lol).

I am feeling the warmth of the tiny sparks of care and mutual need here on this forum right now. Just lovely @Maggie - warms the soul and makes me feel more grounded. Thank you 💕

Re: LOST

@Maggie - I love the idea of putting our sparks together. I too can feel the warmth.

I'm sorry things are tough. I think you're 'lost' may be a bit like my 'stuck'. Not knowing what to do, where to turn, how to get out... I don't know, but if it is it's a really hard place to be.

I too agree you're so worth it.

Oh and I also have a heap of weeding here if you'd ever like to come past my place (I wish) 😉

Big hugs Maggie 💕💗

Re: LOST

@NatalieS Maggie is also a little rescue. She had been abused and is very fragile, I'm the only human she will go near. She's a little chihuahua absolutely adorable. Hope your days off are restful.
