Twisted -self care
Every morning I drive east into the sun.
At traffic lights I put sunscreen on the backs of my hands.
This morning I realised that this is self care,
Very rare for me.
I need to do more of this....

Re: Twisted -self care
Sorry to hear that @Catcakes
I know that if we were to check that out here on the forums with members the answer would be that you DO matter. You matter in many peoples eyes, but I hear that you aren't exactly feeling that way right now.
This would be good to work on via chat or on the phone one day. Keep trying to connect. There's always the email option to work forum things out via email too.
I hope you can hear that you do matter and I'm sure I'll see you on here tomorrow. I'm signing off shortly.
Take care 🙂

Re: Twisted -self care
Thanks for the suggestion @Former-Member but I have never been able to get onto the HC ever, not ever, not once, never

Re: Twisted -self care
Sorry about that post with the phrases all upside down.
I have not called the HC often. Most of the time I preferred to talk to people like you ... just about life ...
A sense of belonging seems to grow pretty slowly ... hang in there @Catcakes

Re: Twisted -self care
Thanks @Faith-and-Hope.
Quite often when I’ve really needed help it has been a time when others are spent.
I feel like I’m just a filler

Re: Twisted -self care
I haven’t spoken to anyone on HC ever, phone or online chat.
@Appleblossom.
I’m a bit over it all today...
I can’t say exactly but health, financial, relationship woes feel like a bluestone on my chest.

Re: Twisted -self care
The forums are a very mixed bag, that’s for sure @Catcakes. I really enjoy your company, and I hope there have been times you have felt support here. You have certainly been very supportive of others, and you have a great sense of humour when you are on that page ......

Re: Twisted -self care
Sometimes I need to take space out ... the forums doing my head in ... so take a week off etc ... and I have given myself to be not totally diplomatic at times ... but I dont mean anyone harm. I have more frustration with the system that any person. I honestly prefer the peer support ... with what is going on with your mum ... and being up to all hours etc ... go gently with yourself ... @Catcakes
have to do dinner now ...

Re: Twisted -self care
I have certainly felt the support on the forum
@Faith-and-Hope at times.
Sometimes I feel unimportant
Not just ion the forum but in real life.
Today is one of those days where I feel it everywhere.
No one knows
