Hi Guys,
I'm struggling atm...
So I think its probably best that I leave the forum, I think I have been here almost two years. I wish you all the best in recovery and moving forward. Thank you for your friendship & support, it meant the world to me.

It seems like leaving is not really what you need right now if you are struggling so much but hoping you can put some of thise supports in place for you this week and can take care of yourself. If you change your mind the forum will still be here @oceangirl Take care of yourself.

I've not cried until I read your post Zoe. I am not coping too well but please don't worry ok. I will bounce back. Its a bit of a struggle for me right now. The black dog is back and I am overwhelmed atm. You keep doing what you're doing. Milo has never seen me upset before I've kept everything together because he had been so sick. I think its time for me to go to bed. I might be back if I can't sleep. Good night @Zoe7 Thank you for your support & friendship

Can you do some controlled breathing to help calm you a little? @oceangirl
In response to: Re: I'm leaving the forum
oceangirlSenior Contributor
I'll try to do that. It is hard, I have a headache and not drank much today or yesterday. I am not sure what to do. I am just scared but thats ok. I just need to normalize it @Zoe7

Yes and drink some more to help with your headache @oceangirl Hopefully the controlled breathing will help a little too.

@oceangirl Sending support.
Glad you are still volunteering. I accept if you want time out or to leave. I miss OverTheEdge too. Sipping might help, but I understand you cant take in large amounts. Its extra difficult just after surgery, but in the future you will reap the benefits.
