Just checking in.

Hi @CheerBear

im just dropping in to say hi and a quick check in. Yesterday something happened that has changed my world and I’m still not coping well with it. I feel pretty crappy that this is my response. I was actually going ok after respite. It’s bought lots of pretty strong emotions out. I wish I was coping with it better than I am. I think I need some of that Cheerbear determination and perserverence to get through. Until that filters through though I’m stuck being a crying dribbling mess and am am so angry and hurt that I can’t just come out of respite and focus on me and the goals I made and we’re working towards. I think I’m made of glass 🤦‍♀️😔

i hope ole your world is going ok. 

Ill check in when human again and I’ve stopped crying 😣. This one has taken my sense of humour too. I’m so sorry. 

hugs 💜🤗

@Teej, this is part of a card I have made ...... would send it to you if I could .....

Hugs Hon  ❤️

Think of the beauty of seaglass after it has taken tumble after tumble ...... keep on keeping on .....

@Faith-and-Hope I’m supposed to leave in 15 mins to see my sons honours project presentation but I can’t stop crying and feel so overwhelmed about going. This emotion is owning me in a huge way.

Hearing you @Teej ......

Break it down into baby steps Hon.

The thing won’t go straight to the presentation.  There will be some sort of intro.  That gives you extra time.

Dont worry about the crying in the moment.  Throw a make-up bag into the car with you and drive there.  See how you are feeling by then and if you are up to getting out of the car.

If you are, and you have stopped crying - being in a different place and time by then - tidy up your face and are out.

If you’re not up for it, sit in the car until / maybe / if / you are ..... you have time.

You have the option of stepping in at the end to view the presentation as it is laid out, letting your son know, or not, whether you have been there the whole time.

You have choices, and you can always turn around and drive home again at any point.

💜💐

@Teej- so sorry to hear that something big and hard happened yesterday. You don't have to be sorry for not having that (amazing Teej) sense of humor there right now.

Listening if you can and would like to talk, but sitting quietly with you either way (with lots of virtual tissues)

Mega hugs 💜😔💜

[Teej]

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, @CheerBear. 

Ill try to work it out. 

[Faith-and-Hope]

Hugs n hugs @Teej .....

I am so sorry you are hurting.

Thinking of you @Teej 💕🎶💕

Hey @Kurra good to see you back. I just read your post about your house. Wishing you the best of luck 💜🤗. How’s the pup going? 

up for a check in @CheerBear? It’s ok if not. 

I haven’t much to report on really. Climbing out of my deep dark hole but doing ok. Haven’t slept yet. Having one of my crazy nights. 🤦‍♀️

[CheerBear]

Hey @Teej. Nice to see you this morning. I'm sitting in some beautiful sunshine in a still and quiet garden with the company of a puppy who stayed over last night. I was writing a venty post for here when your tag came through.

Glad you're doing OK, though getting that it would have been a huge climb to get there. Yuck with no sleep 😏 I'm having more than usual trouble with sleep and 4:30 is becoming a sleep-in now. Will you have a chance to catch up on some today?
