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

Oops @Former-Member. I meant cavalry as in the troops who step up to help. There is a discussion I started about me when I'm struggling and in crisis. I have been blessed that when I have called out for help in that discussion before I have received so much support from my forum friends. This time too the mental health team sent in more troops to help. I had daily phone calls from a psychologist and an immediate appointment with the psychiatrist. They also tried to get my phams support worker to come a few more days but she was busy with other things due to mental health week. They want me to get through at home which I'm through the worst of it now. I also received a small amount of medication to help get through. This is the first time they've trusted me with this so I am feeling like we are all on the same page.

And yes that's kind of how I feel but my emotions were to the extreme that something small would trigger a huge reaction and me just wanting to SH. My son was triggering me big time and it's hard and scary sometimes, and I guess you may know this especially, when the reason you stay here is for them but then they cause so much pain you don't want to be here anymore and it's a vicious circle.

I really hope that next week goes smoothly for you. You must be doing it so tough. I really feel for you in your situation. I think you are courageous and have a great inner strength and spirit to see you through this. I guess for both of us 'this too shall pass'. Best wishes 💜😊💐🤗

Hi @Former-Member

I have seen this message now. You do sound much better and calmer too. I am glad to hear your phams worker was able to help this morning and you were able to get out and about this afternoon. Are you eating okay @Former-Member ?

I took Kira for a lovely walk this afternoon and I really enjoyed getting out with her and I also did a grocery shop this afternoon and I have spoken to family on the phone and I ordered some new clothes online tonight.

I don't have much planned this weekend but will be catching up with family on Sunday and tomorrow just cleaning up here and doing some cooking & baking. And I will probably also try to get in a gym & pool session too.

And I mite go out for coffee tomorrow morning to get me moving tomorrow morning

Re: Moving forward

I finally decided that I will go to a friends 50th today. My best friend is taking me and we are only going for 1.5 hours. It has just dawned on me that one of the people I was hoping to catch up with may have tricky questions. Any advice of a generic style to help. Oops I'm a nut I didn't tag you on the first one @Faith-and-Hope doh there's a L on my forehead right now

Re: Moving forward

@Former-Member, you can always just tell them you are not ready to talk about it. Practice what you are going to say in a mirror and be firm if she wants to talk about it. You have a right to protect and take care of yourself.
