Moving forward

Moving forward

As Monday looms I have been trying to work out how to move forward. Today I started collecting things for my coping box (thanks @Crazy_Bug_Lady). I bought some of my fave chocolates to put in and have been gathering bits and pieces. Happy for any other suggestions as to what to put in. I think I may need one for the car too. I'm thinking I may copy some pieces of wisdom from this forum and print them up to add in.

I'm hoping that I get to write more on this thread than the struggle thread as time goes by. Please feel free to add how you are moving forward as well. 💜😊

Re: Moving forward

@Appleblossom,

im so sorry to hear that you have been humiliated and put down like this. I wanted to cry for you. All that I could see is this must be such a factional group to be choosing one over another without regard or thought to your welfare and it does smack of elitism and high class prim and prospers. Just so you know, I'd chose substance over that crap any day. Seriously I'd like to come and stand by your side with my pitch fork aimed threateningly (although I'd never use one, just metaphorically). @Appleblossom I know the advice would be to ignore that rubbish but I know the damage is done so I'm hoping your remember you haven't done anything wrong apart from live with your own integrity so be kind to yourself. Treat yourself like a queen for now. Take care, hugs💜😊

@Former-Member

That was the most perfect answer possible .. thanks ... I will cherish the thought.

You get that the sublimation of rage into words and humour ... can at least defuse intensity of feeling and stop me doing something that I might regret.

It is just good to get it out on the forum.

Tryin to be good and cramming up on blessed boundaries ... one of my weak points.

Re: Moving forward

Might feel like making the big scene @Appleblossom .... but vent elsewhere .... safely .... please ?

Dont give them any more reason to be smug about you .... don't give them that satisfaction ❣

They are so not worth it .....

I know you were enjoying the singing .... when the dust settles hopefully you can step back into that stride in another place .... often a major bump like that sends us in another direction to something better .... that's what I'm hopin' for for you .... 💜

You might need to cool off first but .... can't remember clearly now (tired) are you in Melb ?

Check out the choir here .... http://www.thegoodshepherd.org.au ? They have a sample of their form on this site.

😔💜

Re: Moving forward

Good on you @Appleblossom. Keep finding those boundaries that keep you safe and keep your integrity, in that order preferably. Seriously you don't need that rubbish. Re the psychiatrist I have no idea of advice because only you know this stuff but just wishing you luck that you get a good outcome if you see one professionally. Glad it's helped to get it out. Take care💜😊

Re: Moving forward

1) safe

2) integrity

the order thing is useful @Former-Member I included one sentence that summed up my attitude re cultures that deny bullying and rise in suicide stats, that they well know, in that email and am turning my back on them hence forth ...

Good night dear forum. Tomorrow is another day.

I have images of teej's pitchfork to protect me.
