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

do whatever you like @TAB I gave myself a talking too ... for giving straight advice .. which I actually dont approve of .. lol .. but I think I annoyed you, and others, by being round about in my statements. Ah well ..

I think my alert is always on for conflict ... but I know that I need to learn to roll with it more ... not let it be a total blow up ... there are so many things we think .. we can only agree on so much ..

@Former-Member also thinking about @Former-Member but also dont know what to do .. she is great at being supportive .. and I have to trust that her process will help her through ... I actually do believe ... we need to find our own solutions

reading up http://dulwichcentre.com.au/articles-about-narrative-therapy/

but it has been my belief from the beginning .. dont give advice .. as we get chockers with it .. and it usually suits the advice giver

Re: Moving forward

we all bleed when cut .. and dont always know when our own hard won views are opposed to or trigger someone.

I hope you all come through it .. it has also been good having the easy-going banter about

I am tired now so might hit the sack ... I prefer gentleigh bentleigh ... but theres a place for other ways

Hi @Former-Member @Appleblossom @TAB 🌷💜

Don't know if I've caught you all ....

Just woke up from the iPad-face thing ....

@Former-Member has been around passively this afternoon .... "liking" occasionally .... I think that was her intention from something posted this morning .... just to take it as it came today, but stay around as a part of mindfulness ....

Hugs @Former-Member .... 💜💕.... 😘

Heading back to sleep again ....

See y'all 2moro .... ❣

Re: Moving forward

Thanks for your support @Kurra, @Faith-and-Hope, @TAB, @Appleblossom, @Former-Member

Im OK and hoping to be through the worst of it but just trying to climb out of the dark hole and start living again. Back to baby steps 😏.

I think I will be a bit hit and miss on the forum whilst I try to sort myself out.

thanks again 💜💜💜💐💐💐

Re: Moving forward

Hey @TAB i just read through this. Nope I didn't save it up but I guess I needed to realise that I entered into that conversation not in the best headspace and was a bit too forward. Just so you know it did hurt but I did learn so I see it as a win. I was honest when I said I was grateful for it. It was good learning for me. I think I was trying to transfer that learning back to you, possibly not done well though. And you didn't contribute to my collapse, I'm pretty good at doing that all by myself with the added bonuses of many life stressors that happened over the last few weeks. I'm not one to hold a grudge, never have been, never will be. Thanks for the olive leaf/branch, holding one out for you.Take care @TAB. 💜😊
