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

Thanks @utopia , @Former-Member.

It's a beautiful environment to be in, really supportive and encouraging. I even ended up having cake and coffee out to celebrate. Thanks for the encouragement ☺️🤗

Re: Moving forward

Hi @Former-Member,

How are you travelling? I'm sorry I've possibly missed you over the passed couple of weeks. I seem to have been very hit and miss on the forums lately although I think that will be the way for me as I try to incorporate more into my life. Everything seems like a bit of a blur at the moment as I've spent so much of the last fortnight in crisis mode with a few days breathing in between. I am hoping that things will settle a bit now as lots of my bigger stresses (nothing compared to yours) have settled a bit. One of my sons is back from overseas and the other has started at TAFE and we are settling back into some kind of routine. I have asked to do DBT again as my emotions have been a bit out of control for me.

Im really hoping that things have remained somewhat positive for you but am here to listen if that's not the case too. Wishing you the very best as always😊💕

Hi @Former-Member

Great news about tafe and that you are studying with a lovely bunch of people.

I am going to see my specialist tomorrow and then I will see my IVF specialist on Tuesday and late Tuesday afternoon I have my gym session. Plus Monday I have training in the afternoon for the upcoming masters games and Wednesday afternoon I will be going to be my volunteer job at the animal park.

Keep doing what you are doing..

Re: Moving forward

Thanks @Former-Member. It sounds like you have a full schedule in the next week. I'm exhausted tonight but seeing that as a good thing for now as I might sleep tonight. Ive just had my other sons girlfriend over for tea so it's been a busy day. Tomorrow is really busy for me too as I have my phams worker, I'm hoping to catch up with a friend and my son has his psych appointment. I will get my dog back Sunday and I hope I'm in a good place to retrain him a bit.

I think it's great that you have that volunteer job in the animal park. I hope you have a lovely day there. You'll be very busy when the masters are on.

i hope you've had a peaceful night and feeling a bit better than you were yesterday.💕

Hi @Decadian,

thanks for the big sunshine smile. It's like how I felt when I left class today. How are you travelling with your recent emotional loss. Wishing you he best of luck for Monday. I'll be thinking of you. Time seems to be rushing by at the moment. I hope your health it holding up ok at the moment. Take care💕

Re: Moving forward

Morning @utopia. I wasn't sure where to post to you and hope this is ok. I'm having a bit of a back lash day trying so hard to stay positive and keep going forwards. My PHaMs worker just rang in sick and I burst into tears after as I knew I was counting on her to help me push though to the weekend.
I'm really not sure how things are going with you lately but I've been thinking of you. I hope you are ok💜😊

Re: Moving forward

@Former-Member. Sorry for the late response. I was up inthe mmountains. Trying to meditate and stop over thinking. Not too successful with it today. But it was still a calming time.
Can you tell me what's going on? What's the anxiety or feeling you are struggling through today?
I'm always here and will help when I can. I'm glad you posted to me.

Re: Moving forward

Thanks @utopia. I received a call from one of the psychologists from the mental health team before and she helped me realise what was going on. I really was more interested/concerned with how you are. My spidy senses were telling me you are having a difficult time too.
