Tough Times

Your kind words brought a tear to my eyes and really touched me @Former-Member . I know we really haven't chatted much, I see you floating around silently supporting posts. For me this is also a very supportive and comforting gesture, it means you have taken time to read my post and a little sign you heard me and for me that is a wonderful feeling. I have always struggled with being heard.

You truly are one of those members worth their weight in gold and a gem. Thank you 💖🦋

@Lee82 , just checking in honey. How are Mr12 and Mr8 doing with homeschooling today? I hope you are doing as good as you can right now. 💛🦋

Took some more time for myself this morning and went for a bush walk with exh2. I forgot how calming it was.

I hope you all find the time for a little self care today.

Beautiful pic honey. @Former-Member 💕

@Former-Member... thanks for sharing the lovely pic. I love a good bush walk, and this looks a great place to escape to. Glad your exh2 took you along there, and that you are concentrating on a bit of self care today.

Dizzyizzy ... no we havent chatted a lot so far. Ha ha ... yeah thats me .... floating around silently much of the time. But I do read a lot, and like to offer support in any way I can when I feel its needed. Sometimes I have words, other times I just dont. I'm grateful that you find my (at times) silent presence supportive and comforting. Yes I do hear you, and I'm sorry that you have often struggled by not being heard. Its a wonderful thing about the forums here ... someone always hears us. Although I have not subscribed to this thread (too many notifications unsettle me at times), I very much appreciate you tagging me if you ever need that listening ear. Thank you for your very kind words, its appreciated at a time I am feeling very worthless.

Grief has no boundaries @Former-Member Especially if you have not grieved when it happened. Maybe this is the time for you to do that. Often we do not let our grief takes it's natural course because of the circumstances we are in and it certainly seems from what you have written that you could not do that at the time because of the situation you were in. You have amaing support around you now so maybe it is your brain's way of telling you that you are safe to do that now. It is certainly something worth working through with your supports. You are definitely not alone Hon

I am lucky enough to have a couple of places like that to walk @outlander , if I can't get to the beach then this is where I head.

I was wondering if someone can tell me how I find a thread? I am looking for "cooking" but can't fine it anywhere

@Lee82 @Zoe7 and anyone else that maybe able to help. Thanks in advance

we have some nice walking tracks here too @Former-Member but I don't go there cause its very squishy and enclosed and a lot of people walk there dogs there.

if you want to search for a thread, up the top of this thread youll see 'forums home > lived experience (and so on) if you click lived experience itll take you to main page section, then there will be a search bar, you can type in 'cooking' then enter and it should bring up the threads with that name. hope that helps..

Hi @Former-Member, if you want to find something specifically in the forums you can do a search. Here is some info on how to do that - here . Hope this helps 🙂
