Hello again @Maggie
Yes, I am struggling today. My daughter does know what buttons to push to upset or get her way with me indeed. Although trying in other ways, she is still not always stable. And you are right - being laid up listening to those painful thoughts is not helping me. And the added pressure on top of my husband's ill health does get too much at times - it will be better when she moves. I can't do this much longer. I do love music and a good book. I will do that and try and distract/relax.
So good to read the fur babies are well. They are so adorable. Thank you for being there, you have helped me a lot. Love you my friend 😊

😂😂😂😂lol @Maggie - I needed a laugh. My husband would also appreciate that one 😅
Who could resist that adorable look in those fur babies eyes. So cute 😍 Thank you for the boost. Feeling a bit better now.
Thank you @Faith-and-Hope for your support. It is a type of tantrum, her life stressors she takes out on me at times. Not sure what has her in such a bad mood - probably to do with a ex boyfriend or something. And it does trigger all those mental scars caused by enormous hurt for me when she is cold - at the time is emotionally suffocating for me. It immediately throws me back to the time I had a major breakdown - this I couldn't go through again and it scares me. To which I keep telling myself it will not. I am also feeling weak from sickness and looking after my husband whom is ill too. Not a good week. I can't wait to be able to get back into life doing things - so much prevents this at times. It really has been never ending these past few years
I have been struggling with depression most of the year and am hoping this will turn around soon - for all of us. I so need a balance. Here's to a better future for us all 🌹xx

@Former-Member It has been warmer here today (late teens) but very windy all day It is a triple whammy right now - windy, getting dark and the temperature has dropped significantly! I am not coping with this all too well but there is nothing I can do!
I can see life is pretty tough for you right now too (and I am not much use to anyone atm) so sending you all my love and some of these....

@Former-Member I thought you would get a smile, good to know there is still one there. Just tiny steps, they add up, and rest. Warm hug coming your way.
@Zoe7 A warm hug coming your way also. Raining, windy and cold here too, keep your doona on and your Toby hot water battle close by.

My Toby hot water bottle is snuggled in for the night - he has had his crazy few minutes running around the house and is now asleep @Maggie It isn't as cold tonight as it has been but the temperature is supposed to drop significantly again tomorrow. Looks like it will be another donna and two blanket day

@Zoe7 I'm in bed with fur baby snoring. Unbelievable how loud a small dog can snore. Hope you are ok. Take care down there in the cold. Hope your heater comes soon. Warm hug.
