Re: rough time

thank you for what youve written @Sans911 gives a little bit of perspective on things. im sorry you had to go through all of that

it feels like the whole world is going forward and im stuck. it really upsets me.

if you dont mind me asking- how did you learn to accept that you need to trust in the process and that answers would come to you?

letting things come to me is tricky as i find im more of a 'do it' sort of person so i know trying to accept that i need to just focus on the basics will take time. it feels alot harder than it needs to be but everytime i think ive got a handle on things and just start to accept that i jsut need to survive right now something inside says no thats not right you need to get up and work it out. i didnt listen to that voice the past 2 days been in bed or flopped on the lounge today as i had sister and i know thats not all that good either. in a way it feels like my body is giving up too- just had enough but i feel if i stop then i will go further backwards and that worries me. its probably screaming at me to slow the hell down

so i guess some goals would be to just take it day by day and focus on the basics as youve listed them (eating, drinking, abit of exercise, hygeine ) and make those the daly goals...

Re: rough time

Hi @outlander, I think the wisest thing my psych has ever taught me is that everything is transient. Nothing can stay bad, it will always come good. Sometimes I might have to wait, but things will change. This is especially good news when you're feeling like a black hole has swallowed you up and you don't have the energy or willpower to fight it. I just need to believe and to remember to give myself some slack once in a while. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

Re: rough time

Morning lil Sis. I will respond to your last post to me in a while. It's still before 6am.

I received some pretty devastating news last night.i was chatting online every with my brother. He lives in Darwin so I don't see him often. His partner & mother of his 2 youngest children is in hospital extremely unwell. The doctor's have found a very large tumour in her pelvis & multiple masses elsewhere. She also has a lot of fluid in her belly & is in a lot of pain.

They want to operate immediately but have held off until the result of blood tests are available early next week. There's no permanent oncologist in Darwin so if it's cancer (which seems highly likely, she will be flown to Brisbane for surgery and follow-up treatment.

My brother & his partner live in the same house but they've been estranged for years. He still cares about, but isn't in love with her.

I read haven't had much to do with his partner or know her well, as she doesn't travel with him. But it's still shocking news nonetheless as my brother & his children will be greatly affected.

Re: rough time

@outlander - it's ok. I appreciate you listening so thanks. The best I can do for my brother right now is to be honest with him and help him with the medical speak. She's incredibly stubborn & independent so she might refuse treatment yet. All I can do is take one day at a time.

I might go back to sleep for a bit
