My special place

Ohh no @Snowie

2026 Happy birthday Thread to click onto for @Eve7 birthday

The last few days have been nothing but a shamble. Things going wrong, people being outright mean, past coming to the forefront. Sometimes it feels like that with every step forward it is two steps backward.

They say life happens for a reason, yet I can't work out why it would happen this way.

Why look towards the future when it seems like nothing will change.

If I get told 'you've been through it before, you can do it again' one more I think I'd scream.

Throwing in that towel certainly seems like a good idea.

On top of it all I'm now sick.

Ohhh hugs 🫂 my sister @Snowie

Sending you lots of understanding tender hugs ❤️

Sitting with you and holding you xxx

Thanks but I'm just over it all

Hello lovely @Snowie,

It sounds like things have been really, really hard, which must be so exhausting for you... I know how hard you have been trying to take steps forward. I understand that it might be hard to connect to right now, but I am wondering if we can acknowledge some of your achievements whilst also holding the pain you're experiencing? (Because both are important to sit with 🥰)

I think it's completely fair that this phrase would make you feel like screaming. What do you wish people would say or do instead?

I can imagine your body and mind must be needing a release or some calm... so I am curious to know what would feel soothing for you right now?

I know there a lot of questions here, so please take your time answering them.

Most of all, I just want to know how we can support you. 💛

Hi @AuntGlow

Thanks for the reply and thanks for caring.

I can't see many achievements lately. I guess if I had to have one it is not giving in to my thoughts. Waking up each morning knowing that things will get worse, but somehow having to manage my way through it.

I don't really know what people could say differently. I feel sometimes they downplay it. Yes I've been through some of it before, but that doesn't mean that it's any easier to deal with.

Last night wasn't overly good. I had a nightmare which didn't help and had to be out of the house early this morning to accomodate mum.

I guess the only good thing about that is I now have the rest of the day to myself. Give myself time to breathe and try and do some self soothing things to help.

I have made a gp appt. to as I've woken up not feeling well either. Unfortunately I can't get into see someone until tomorrow.

I don't think there is much you or others can do. It is just a matter of taking it step by step and hoping things improve soon. Hoping that there is a reason to continue.

Talked to my pdoc today (by phone)

He wants to add another med to my already long list. Not sure if I want to add another one but I guess unless I try I won't know if it helps or not.

Asked about my sh and si. Was honest with him. Asked if I was safe or not.

Mentioned H can still be arranged if needed. I really don't want to go down that path for various reasons.

Like always, hoping things settle.

Saw gp. Now on ab meds. Hoping they help quickly.

Hugs 🫂 @Snowie and sitting with you ❤️ 💕 💖

Anyone around?

Sorry I missed you @Snowie I’ll try and catch up tomorrow afternoon.

Take care 💜💜💜
