Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Got something that's bugging you?

Want to vent, but don't want a response?

Sometimes our minds can get stuck in circles trying to sort out an issue. This can keep you up at night, or make it hard to focus on other things. I find that putting things away, and not thinking about it temporarily can be helpful.

This is the place to get it out, and then give yourself permission to let it go.

Maybe you will need to get back to it some other time, but this is space where you can put it in a place so that you can leave it for some time and (try) not to worry about it in the mean time.

It's a thread where people don't need to reply, it purely just to get it out your worry and concerns.

If you want to show your support for someone, hit the 'like' button. In this thread, 'like' doesn't mean that you 'like' someone's issue, but you support them in letting it out.

So write down your concerns, put it in a vault, shut the door, and allow yourself to walk away from it.

Pls note: If you are reading other people's posts, please respect that they don't want a response. Show your support by 'Liking' their post.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

My brother (who is blind) caught himself on fire, whilst cooking.

He is in the intensive care unit of the burns unit, at a major hospital.

He is sedated & unconscious (apparently).

He has already had a skin graft operation on his neck, & will have several more.

Mum just phoned to tell me.

I think it happened in the early hours of this morning.

I'm in shock.

Please pray for him, if you believe in prayer.

Thanks so much @Sans911

Thanks heaps @outlander

It's so much harder for me - that my other brothers refused to talk about it today (when I phoned).

They abruptly changed the subject - just as they did after Dad died. When I needed to talk about Dad.

I am the oldest of 5 boys.

So this forum has been my only means of expression & support about my brother.

They are all on the east coast.

I am in WA.

Im really dissapointed in my mother. The more i think about it the more dissapointed and upset i become. Its out of my hands but i cant really stop thinking about it. Its no use talking to her about it, it wont change or help anything, if anything theres a chance itll make things even more strained between us.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

I'm totally overwhelmed, like in a zombie-state - worse today.

Just trying to keep my head up, amidst waves of despair.

Thanks for your kind thoughts & well-wishes.

It's getting harder (for some reason).
