Re: Sleeping too much
Love it @CherryBomb. Thought you were but didn't want to put my foot in it either. I've done that too many times on here too. 😜💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much
You do realise borderlines don't really know moderation @Kurra. Well that's my excuse for now. But it seems like there is so much to work on right now. I think I need a manual.....how to be a functioning human being😳😜😏

Re: Sleeping too much
It will all sink in bit by bit @Former-Member. It's a different perspective that I hadn't thought about (it was all about me me me). If I hadn't seen it that reaction of my colleagues it would still be all about me and my choice. I mentioned that this experience had changed my life positively forever.
I finally realised that it never had been and never would be just about me. My friend gave me the most valuable gift I will ever receive in this life.
I learned a different perspective. 🎁

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member Please be patient with your son and his response. I know this is hard for you and would be really difficult for me too. If he doesn't respond I'm really hoping you don't let that dampen your achievements. You know how good you've felt about that. No one can take that from you not even your son. They were your achievements. Of course I'm really hoping he responds appropriately but if not get back to us so we can help you put it back in perspective. Thinking of ya💜😊

Bipolars don't either @Former-Member. Doesn't mean you can't change it. You can be a leader rather than following the text book. 😆

Re: Sleeping too much
It's really good to see you in a good mood @Kurra. It's shining through and dragging me a bit with you. I've learned one lesson though in the coolest kind of way......don't argue with Kurra in a good mood, she has heaps of ammunition to outwit you. 😂👏😎😀

Re: Sleeping too much
TBH @Former-Member If I waited for my kids to get how much I love them and needed tham to respond a lot of the time I would be a lot more upset. I have decided that I am better off looking for "company" from others and let the children do what they do regards affection and nice gestures. It keeps me pleasantly surprised instead of constantly dismayed and reading my self worth in their actions or lack ... gets the pressure off too.
Re discussions .. I get triggered a lot .. the whole Tiahleigh murder .. is a big trigger cos y brother & I was abused by foster fathers... triggers are everywhere .. I am just glad that I dont have to cope AND keep it all secret .. am relaxing my expectations on what I do .. I am used to be switched into urgency mode ... but thats not necessary any more as I have a safe situation now ... ... I am ok.
thanks for being there .. just to chat ... about the light and the heavy stuff.
The deaths were 20 and 30 years ago ... ttheir lives and struggles are still a part of me but not the whole of me.

Re: Sleeping too much
Aww, shucks @Former-Member, hugzz, I'm actually relieved to finally talk about losing my friend. I met her in hospital in my 20s, it still bothers me. My 5yo next door neighbour friend was hit by a car and died, they blamed my mum for not bringing her home from school with all of us, yes, it became about my mother, I missed her a lot, nobody talked to me or with me about it, only over me, we were both in kindergarten together. This still lives with me. Just awful. My g-grandmother passing was sis - but she was 92, then there's my Nanna (car accident), 2 nursing college classmates (car accident, cancer). two miscarriages and my beautiful 13yo was the last straw. Not sure I can take anymore, you can imagine how i freaked out when ky son told me he spent winter 2013 on syicide watch at college, and i was so cauggt up in ky own pain miles away that i didnt even know. It shook me inyo geer because even thoufh ge wouldn't admit it - i realised my leaving would devostate him, even more than the abandonment he felt and stigma by my parasuicides in 2011. Its important we hang on as long as we can, if nothing else, but to set that fighting spirit example for them to learn from and to let them know they were worth the fight. I hope my son will see one day that I have really put up a big fight for life.90% of the time.
Oh dear, hope I'm not rambling too much. Nice to have somewhere to put all that, I feel lighter.:) Hope you're all OK with me sharing.

Re: Sleeping too much
Oh I'm so sorry @Appleblossom. I can only imagine how often you would be triggered by news items. I'm so glad you've found a place out of most of the quagmire of your upbringing but I know it will always be with you. I always wish that the people who give you a hard time could see the strength and resilience that we all see here in you. You are truly a role model for so many here. If I'm honest you were the first person who displayed an understanding of what I was going through with giving up SH things and I will be forever grateful for those conversations. I became somewhat human through them. Sometimes it is so hard for me to give back to you because I can't begin to know or understand about the immense difficulties you've faced in this life. Please know that I am always here for you in whatever capacity I can be. 💜😊
