Numb again

@Pollyotter This is just one of those really hard nights Hon. It may feeel like it is all too much right now but you are strong and once you get past this night you start again tomorrow. It is not easy but you can do it.

@Pollyotter Strength comes not for what we have been through but how we keep going afterwards despite the ongoing pain - you have that strength in abundance Hon - know that and believe that

Hey @Pollyotter Checking in to see how you are Hon

Hello all.

Apologies for my absence in the past few days.

on the 19th it was 20 years ago that my father was murdered. Since then every year I get phone calls from family members bombarding me with questions about my feelings and so on. This normally leads to me having a bad birthday and shutting down from the world. Now that all of that is behind me for another year I can work on me again.

Again apologies.

No need to apologise @Pollyotter Anniversaries of that nature are incredibly difficult and add all that extra pressure from family it is quite understandable that you have been away.

When is your birthday? Do we need to organise a forum party?

@Zoe7

The time did me good.

I have calmed down to being functioning again so it's all good.

My birthday was yesterday . No party needed but thanks for the offer 😉

Hey hun. I am so so so sorry to hear about your dad. My thoughts are with you at this time. I am so sorry I haven't been around for you lately. I have been having a difficult time myself. I hope you doing ok my friend. Would love to hear from you.
also happy birthday @Pollyotter I know it's probably bittersweet but never the less you should be celebrated as you are a very special person.
sending you hugs my friend. ❤️❤️❤️

No apologies needed @Pollyotter.
well I hope this week turns out to be a good week for you hun. I am not doing so well. Just feeling pretty defeated at the moment and feeling very flat and unmotivated
