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.

Dearest @Utopia

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

Thank you @PeppiPatty. I think I'm coping with this liss of friendship better than I would have in the past, because of all the supportive people on this site.
Even listening to what other people here are going through, teaches me lessons.
Yes, I hope to stay open with my heart. It's what has helped me with rediscovering who I truly am. And that brings me happiness and contentment.
I'd be interested in knowing the name of the book. But no rush. I have over 8 library books and 2 Christmas books next to my bed. Lol.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

@PeppiPatty. Is there a reason behind your husband giving the book to your son, rather than you giving it to him?

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

approx from $15 to $20.00

This is the book. You can buy it the cheapest if you look up booko.com.au

It's an Australian site where will show you where it's the cheapest place to purchase Another option is looking up .... google scholar?

the libary?

I've heard good things about this book. I want my husband to give it to him because they get along very well and I'm overwhemed with my own stuff and I want to have a rest.

Thank you for the message @utopia

I find it very easy to make friends but don't really hang around because often, esp. where I live they dont understand.

my husband needs to be with me

He is my first priority.

WE have a lonely life at home. I am very busy with my own stuff. I really really want to start my new artwork but need to start purchasing new pencils and planning the picture properly with black card on top of white and all shades of blue.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

Thank you @PeppiPatty. I'll look that book up. It sounds like it's just what I need at the moment.
Your husband giving your son the book may be a good bonding exercise. Where they can strengthen their relationship even further.
I'm so glad you have exactly what you need in your life. You and your husband are lucky to have each other.
Thank you and keep taking care of yourself first. ♥♥

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

I am sorry to hear what is happening with your friend @utopia .... it sounds like she is in a lot of pain.

Hopefully the strength and healing that is emerging in you will attract her to wanting better for herself.

@Faith-and-Hope

Call me a cynic.....you are a much better person than me.....

She needs very proffessional help with the bottle......poor friend.....

dear @utopia

Me and my husband see the Doctors that We Love..... interesting, one of the nurses at 60 years old works at The Indigenous Heath and Doctor's Centre twice per week. I thought of you when she was telling me. Would you be interested invollunteering at a centre that cares for stigmatised people ?

For example :

Migrants ?

Indigenous Women and Children ?

The Elderly ?

I've always thought that you would be.......

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

@Faith-and-Hope. Thank you.
My best friend will get where she needs to go. Yes she is in a lot of pain. She's taken a step backwards, but she is strong, and she will find her strength again.
Sometimes we learn the most by our mistakes. Sometimes we need to go through certain things, so we can come out stronger and continue to grow.
She will get there. We help each other when we can. We love each other regardless.
Thanks for your great feedback today @Faith-and-Hope.
It's nearly 3.30am here. So I'm off to sleep.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

@PeppiPatty. Yes they are all areas that I am interested in.
I belong to our local refugee group - where we encourage our small country town to come together with refugees from nearby towns, to participate in activities and encourage friendships and learning. It a wonderful group. We also campaign against better treatment of refugees by our politicians. That's an ongoing battle.
I'm also starting to join more activities by some of our local environmental grouos. Again with campaigning. But also with education.
Plus I joined a meditation group in town. So 2016 was really about pushing me to join in more with my local community - but with groups that resonate with me. And I'm slowly meeting some like minded people. And they are getting to know me.
Thanks for the chat tonight pp.
I'm off to sleep. 3.30 & my brain is getting tired. Hope to talk again soon.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

Thank you @utopia .... rest well ... 💕

Yes, @PeppiPatty .... it sounds like she does need professional help, but the professionals can only help when we turn to them, and that takes an act of will .... sometimes we can draw courage from others and how they make their wilful choices. I wish her well.

You are a joy @PeppiPatty .... I hope you get to organise your art materials soon, I look forward to seeing your new work.

💗💕
