Trying to get help

Hope you are able to get some peaceful rest my friend 💗 @Former-Member

You too @Lee82

Huge thank you for listening tonight. 💖

Always here to listen, ❤️ Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself my friend @Former-Member

Good morning everyone @Former-Member @Lotusgirl @Snowie @Shaz51 @outlander @Teej @Mazarita @Maggie @Owlunar @CheerBear @BlueBay @Ant7 and anyone else I've missed. Hope everyone is doing ok today. I really just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to you all for supporting me through this tough time. You all have been amazing!! Today is a good day for me. I finally got a bit of sleep last night and made it through the night without SH. Today I am going to try and do a few things I have been putting off and keep myself as busy as I can. My boys come back tonight from their dads so I want to be organised and ready for them.
Once again thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sending everyone well wishes and virtual hugs. Take care of yourselves and be kind 💗💖💓💞

Morning @Lee82 Glad you got some decent sleep last night. Sounds like you really need it.

Well done for getting through the night with SH, sometimes that is an accomplishment in itself.

I hope today goes well for you hun 💕

Thanks @Lee82 but no thanks. Can't get the words out today.

Hi @Former-Member

It is really hard to get help sometimes - we don't know where to start and what to say and people are busy even on the help-lines and at night they are super-busy

I get really good help from Life Line - I only ring now and again and usually during the day when this are not as busy - and it really does help me and also - I find it tough if the TC decides the time is up before I have finished and this rarely happens during the day

So try that

About your "people" - I hear you - you have been there for them but they are not there for you when you need help with your Emotional Discomfort - whatever form it takes. I think we get taken for granted - it is so hard to take when people have indicated that they will help if we need it and they don't. Remember this though - although you feel unhappy about it when it happens - and so do I - the other person has the problem - not us

We are enough. We are good enough. We are worth it. We count and our opinions count. It is a hard lesson to learn - hard to teach - but we are valuable and have gifts of our own that maybe we haven't found yet,

I have written about this on other threads - about being our best friend and needing to develop self-esteem - it's not easy but so worth it

Our value doesn't decrease because other people can't take the time or don't take the time - you have a right to be here - in this world and in this forum

I think you are fairly new here so I would like to welcome you -
