Hi @BlueBay

💜☮🔮🌉🍇☂👚

Just looking for all the purple things I can find to send you, to help you think of the purple ball ...

Your family might be full of arguments tonight but it won't stay that way.

Find somewhere quiet to think peaceful thoughts, then send some of them their way ...

💜 Hugs xx

Hi @BlueBay is there somewhere you can have some quiet time like sitting outside or having a bath? Sorry you've had a rough day. Have been thinking about you lately 🙂

Something else blue for your keepsake box @BlueBay

Hi @Jacques how was today? Hoping you managed to have your rest day.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope and @eth

Thanks for the purple hugs and everything else purple. I do remember purple ball from group therapy. I had a bad day, our store was burgled last night and lots of glass everywhere and lots of things stolen. So as a result, lots of work and it was stressful day.

As for home, things have settled down; I will go later to bed with my iphone and put on some mindful meditation and have an early night.

Hi all,

Just woken from a two hour nap after falling asleep in my chair during Star Trek: Voyager (geek-girl alert... or should I say, geek-mature-woman).

@Jacques, adding another voice of support for you today. I know you may not feel like posting at the moment, but just wanted to send more hugs.

@BlueBay, sorry you are doing it tough today, hugs your way too.

@Snuchu, thinking of you and sending peaceful vibes your way.

@Faith-and-Hope, super juggling mum comes to the rescue again! Hoping your evening is a bit calmer and that you are remembering to 'postpone the worries' as much as possible in between the mini-crises.

@Former-Member, yes, I do find that I take on some of what people describe on the forum and this was more 'raw' to me when I first arrrived here about a year ago. I think it would be surprising if we were not affected by the struggles described. Feeling the pain of others is part of compassion to me but there needs to be limits to it for self care reasons. There is such a thing as 'compassion fatigue' that we need to avoid. If I am feeling I am 'overdoing the compassion', I try to pull back a bit from the forum until I've recovered balance. Overall though I find great meaning and inspiration in us offering support to each other through our various issues with MI.
