My special place

It sounds irritating @creative_writer I'm sorry I'm not much help either. Can you put your uni work aside for the rest of the day or do you need to do more?

Could you have a cup of tea at all?

Far from strong after what I've done.

@creative_writer can you break it down into smaller parts. Just concentrate on doing a little at each stage. Then once you have finished that, then you can go on to the next part.

Or maybe your brain just needs a rest.

Have you got any plans for tonight?

I know it's wrong, I know the consequences, yet I continue.

You're not complaining @creative_writer Your feelings and thoughts are extremely valid.

That rumination cycle is hard to deal with. I understand how the lack of energy can impact us. Sometimes it's just too hard to even get up. Easier said than done, but sometimes we just have to give ourselves a break. (if only I could abide by my own words)

I have nothing planned for tonight. Both kids are working so just hubby and I home. I haven't told him what I've done and what I want to do. I don't think I can.

Thats understandable @creative_writer I find it hard to trust others too. I think our past trauma has a lot to do with it also.

You are certainly not the problem hon regardless of what someone has said to you. I will admit that it is hard to see the goodness in us when others have said we are the problem. Hard to not believe it.

Progress is progress. However small it is, you are still moving in the right direction.

Hubby with just prolong it. No point.

You certainly are none of those things @creative_writer I have only ever seen you as a kind and caring person, with so much to offer others on here. For some reason it is so hard to see ourselves in this way. We focus on the negatives so much and they are so much easier to see them within ourselves.

H has gone now. Its just me at home
