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
@Catcakes I will miss you if you decide to leave.
I respect your decision, what ever it is, because you have to do what is right for you. Please look after yourself no matter what you decide to do.
You are carrying a huge load and deserve respect, assistance and guidance and anything else you could use to help you and your family through all that you have and do experience.
You are, and have been, a joy for me to know @Catcakes.

@Catcakes We have had a few moments that I will remember. Thanks for being here.
I am not sure what it is that went wrong between you and the forum.
Take care whatever you do.
Welcome back if you decide to try it again.

Re: Twisted -self care
Was missing you @Catcakes then noticed that you had popped into the forum but not posted. My personality tends not to get engaged in pleading with people not leave the forum. If I felt a connection with the person, I make a clear statement and back off. I do not make a big deal of it for many reasons. One is I am not sure whether or not the connection is serving me or them. But there are many issues regarding statements to stay or leave or whether people are included.
I tend to put a LOT of work in to reach out. I have been doing it on the forum getting on to 3 years. SO many people do come and go. I am also more than fragile with abandonment issues. My trauma load is huge. I had to deal with a lot as a little kid. I am learning not to generalise people's expectations and comments on the forum ... to myself and intensify my sense of inadequacy.
It is really tricky when conflict occurs. Here and irl.
We all live and learn and hopefully grow a bit.
Cheers Apple
Wishing you the best.
