rough time

This is where it would be so good for you to finally have some external supports that could help you work through these feelings and find strategies that help you get through such situations @outlander I really hope you find these soon. I know you have the headspace appointments coming up but I also know they are limited - I think working on your issues with your family should be pretty high on the agenda for what you talk about - that is something that holds you back so much - feeling obligated to your family but also not being able to deal with them

I won't be far off sleepy land here I think @outlander but I will stay here as long as I can with you. I know how much things with families can cause us so much grief - it is often those that are suppposed to love us also hurt us so much - sometimes those wounds can be seen but more often than not they are the emotional scars that linger for too long. I do hope that you can find ways to reduce those mental scars as I know first hand how debilitating they are when carried for so long.

I have a tricky family too @outlander - we have very few things in common - I was definitely the black sheep in our family lol

It has only been in the last year or so that I have been able to stand up to my family and let them know what I actually think when they are causing me grief - it has taken a lot of practice and a lot of patience. I hope that one day you can find that balance too. It may not be until your sisters are adults themselves that they will fully appreciate what you have done for them but that is life as a big sister

I am going to need to head off Hon - will you be ok to get through the rest f the night...

hoping @Appleblossom @Sans911 or others are around to sit with you if you need... don't want to leave you on your own

I will give them a pat for you Hon. I do hope you can sleep yourself soon and put this evening behind you. The day wasn't too bad for you @outlander and as hard as it is when you have had such a shitty night - try to hold on to those little wins - we all need to hold on to those little wins. Goodnight @outlander and thank you also for keeping me company - catch ya tomorrow Hon 💖

Hi @Sans911 I 'see' you in the background and am so glad you are here to sit with @outlander ...goodnight to you both 💕
