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. 💜😊

Wishing you peace of mind and lots of gentle distraction across the day ....

Wow @Former-Member

Goodonyer, WTG, hi 5, well done, excellent!!!!

About them being hidden in another place - ahhhhhhhhhhhh - not really - they are not handy - you can't just get them without seeing the therapist -

This was a hard thing to do - really hard - and it's sorta like two steps instead of one

Really good though -

Now you have to work on the SI and SH without the secret door - but it's safer if harder -

Re: Moving forward

@Former-Member. I am so PROUD of you. A hige step and you took it!
I love the idea of a ceremony to distroy them when you are better. I think all of us here on the forum will be celebrating with you that day.
Fear is to be expected - it's a new unknown chapter for you. But that too will pass.
Be kind to yourself. Practice calming techniques. And keep talking to us.
We are here for you.
I can't stop smiling. Am so proud of you.

Re: Moving forward

Thanks heaps @TAB, @Faith-and-Hope, @Decadian, @utopia, @Former-Member, @Former-Member and @Former-Member.
I think your positivity is helping it to sink in. I was completely brain dead until now. Just having celebratory cake and coffee. I was just thinking that it does feel really nice to be able to share our journeys together and know that some one is there for the wins and the losses and everything in between. Thanks to you all again 💜💜💜💐💐💐

I also forgot to tag @Kurra who's been supportive of some of my crap so wanted to share a gain. 💜😊

Re: Moving forward

It was a chocolate and vanilla custard cannoli @Faith-and-Hope and a good coffee from and Italian bakery 💜☕️ I was at the laundromat washing my underlay so it wasn't quite watching dolphins on the river but it was a space to collect myself and eat something yummy. Just had a phone call to confirm my place in the mindfulness class on Wednesday too so all systems go for now.
