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. 💜😊

Hi @Shaz51

I hope it goes away too (headache) it is a little better. I think I'll have to take some pain medication. I hope you pain settles too, I am glad your hubby was able to help with dinner. When are you due for a review?

Re: Moving forward

I'm ok @Faith-and-Hope. I made it. I think I've come away feeling really blessed. I had the biggest hug from the friend I was worried about. I haven't seen her in person for about 8 years. It was fabulous to catch up, she has been thrown lots of curve balls in the last decade as well and is such a caring, kind and inspirational person.I just got home. I stayed longer and a friend gave me a lift home. Feeling spoilt.

Thanks to @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Former-Member for your support today.

Hey @Former-Member

Did you get out for coffee today? I have been eating again and taking my medication. I think I'm through this phase. Hopefully I'll have a few days reprieve. I hope you've been ok. 💜😊💐💐

Re: Moving forward

So glad it was worth going @Former-Member

The truth is we dont really know how people will be.

Here's another Hug from me.

Hi again @Former-Member

So glad to read that you had a fab time tonight, I really hope you have more nights like tonight.

Eating and self care stuff is really important and it does make you feel better

I didn't get my coffee today but hopefully will get it tomorrow when I go to see my niece. I did have a pool swim though, and I was able to swim 2kms and I walked 90mins. I am feeling better for doing the exercise.

Next weekend I am having a mate stay for a few nights and we are going to chill out and have a few drinks. I am ok just have a headache but its a bit better tonight.

Re: Moving forward

So good to hear you enjoyed the evening @Former-Member .... and found your friend in a place in her life that you didn't expect .... not because she has been out of her own comfort zone, but because it helped you to see that life doesn't remain static .... there are ups and downs for everybody.

Hopefully these experiences will progressively create more grounding for you.

Remember how it feels to be socialising comfortably - the music, the environment, the conversation, the snacks and drinks (sensory) and register the feelings ....reflect .... relive the moment ....

💜🌷

Are you still up @Former-Member ... ? Shall we have another Bailey's moment .... ? 😏
