Re: rough time

Thanks @outlander - hope your day manages to present you with some good moments too.

Hubbys apt is not until 12.30pm today. Lovely day here this morning though and I have just come in from outside where I sat with a morning cup of tea overlooking my garden fishpond with a fountain spraying nicely. Quite restful and nice. Birds singing in the trees and Holly by my side. Hubby had a quick breakfast and has gone back to bed, so all is quiet for now.

Its quite nice here this morning too
Feels like the start of autumn with cooler nights and mornings with warmer days @Former-Member

I would love to be sitting in your garden with the fishpond and birds and of course little Holly. Sounds really nice and peaceful. 🐟🐦🐶

My SI is so high 😞 it would be nice if my brain would be quiet for a while @Sans911

Re: rough time

Has anything happened today to bring these thoughts on, or is it the combination of everything else going on? Do you want to talk about it at the moment? @outlander

Re: rough time

i think it is just everything happening along with a few other things like not fitting in anywhere even here lately which is probably my fault more than anything else, wanting to be better, struggling financially, things ive spoke of before but still want to hang around none the less. @Sans911

Re: rough time

Hi @outlander

Sorry to hear that you are dealing with so much, and also that you dont feel as though you fit in anywhere.

I'm very saddened to hear you say that you dont feel you belong here either. Can I ask - whatever makes you think that? I know you are well respected, much loved and appreciated by all you cross paths with here. Myself included.

I think we all would like to be better, and strive to improve ourselves. We all feel at some point however that we are not good enough, or could do better. But in the end, all we can do is the best we can at any given time.

I know the situation with your Pop being so unappreciative of all that you do for him in your role as a carer is likely to be detrimental to your sense of worth. But it is not a true reflection of your value Little One. I hope I can convince you of that.

I'm sorry to hear your SI has become so intense again. Please promise me you will call a help line or other support person if you find your thoughts and possible actions becoming overwhelming. Seek help, dont suffer alone. 000 if needed.

I am here to talk too if it will help. As are your other good friends here. @Sans911 @Snowie @Appleblossom @MDT

Much love and concern for you sweetie.

Sherry 💕

Re: rough time

It's always hard to find a balance between online and off line. Right now I don't feel I'm here enough some days, and I know I've pulled back further from how much I used to be here. Then other times I have been here all day. I think it's a matter of whatever you are comfortable with. And I try hard not to feel guilt over it.

What makes you think that you don't fit in here any more? Is it something in particular? And why your fault?

Despite your feelings, I'm glad you want to stick around. These hard times won't last your lifetime, even though it probably feels that way.
