Re: catching up

Yes, I do hide it well, maybe she knows and has not said anything, maybe not, Karen, I have done this from the age of 8 years old, so it is so ingrained as a coping mechanism I don't know if I will ever be able to break it.

Karen please you are a wonderful support, you have been amazing, for the time I have known you I have never felt alone with this. Thank you my friend.

Maybe tonight we can distract each other. I would like that.

Re: catching up

Hi J & K 🙂

Nice to see you both.

Jacques I sent you an email - can you check it out and pop me an email back? Thanks!

Karen - it's really important to let someone know. It's the way they are assisting you and that's what you are there for. They have seen everything under the sun, believe me. You have no reason to be ashamed.

Re: catching up

Yes my angel I know what it is like, time is our enemy, you need to break you day/night down into minutes and hours. Please tell the nurses, how are you going to get better if you don't reach out? You are their now so you might as well make the most of it?

Karen, they have heard and seen everything, their is no need to feel ashamed or humiliated, you are their to get help, please try to reach out.

HI @NikNik do you mind if I respond after I settle tonight? I am just having dinner, then I need to sort some things in the shed. Thank you

Take care ladies and be safe Karen.

Jacques

Re: catching up

I am OK my friend, I am out the shed with some incense going getting rid of more stuff out of the shed. It is stuff that has had to go for a while, I have just felt like doing it.

I promise I will be careful, I will never lose you again, I promise my angel 🙂

How are you now, have you had dinner yet? I just had a BBQ too hot to use the stove in the house.

Re: catching up

Re: catching up

Oh my angel, can you get some snacks brought in? Karen you have been conditioned by your mother and late husband to hate yourself, you need to break this habit, you need to learn to love yourself again. Please try to at least sip some water. For me 🙂

Re: catching up

Thats not fare jacques you know I'll do a anything for you:)

Re: catching up

Karen, i know you would do anything for me, that is why i am so cautious on what i ask you to do, i only want you to be happy and healthy, if that means using my princly power, so be it 🙂 Karen, you need to care for yourself, if you can't do that, how can you care for the girls?

Karen, i do understand why you punish yourself, i do the same for the same reasons, we need to learn self-love, compassion for ourselves, i know i am not good at it either, but we must try.

well, the chooks where singing when i was out the shed, getting themselves organised for the evening, Ms. Piggy had her lovely mud bath (it was the day for it 39 degrees!!!) and the cattle where lazing under the trees.

It is so hot here Karen, only 1 more day to go till the cool change. i can't wait. my mood is bad enough, but with the heat i am so adgitated. i am trying so hard to control my frustration. i am trying to talk to mum, but it is so hard, i can't even mention my aunt i am so triggered by her. mum mentioned her once and i shut down.

my princess, i am having a big 1 liter bottle of icy cold water, how about you? i am trying to care for myself even though i don't want to, please try Karen, it would help me to know you are caring for yourself too.
