Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Re: Riding a wave

I’ll be ok @Former-Member, thanks.
Feel a bit icky but folding washing is soothing for me.....

Re: Riding a wave

💜 @Catcakes ....

I am going to take a risk and tell you it took me quite some time before I developed a comfort level about sharing personal history here.  

It’s not to try to make it about me .... just wanting to offer you moral support, but if that is not happening for you I will remove the post and step back from the conversation.

Hoping this is okay ....

Re: Riding a wave

Pssst here is another one if you'd like @Phoenix_Rising (I'm definitely in here-but-not mode right now) https://youtu.be/88hn62gD2c8

Re: Riding a wave

It’s okay @Faith-and-Hope.
I guess what prompted me to share some of my story was to help @Phoenix_Rising not feel so alone... but because of my family ... maybe I just exacerbated that alone ness 😏

Re: Riding a wave

@Catcakes it's fine. Nothing can exacerbate my aloneness. I've just been cut off from the one support that kept me alive all last year. Trust me, nothing can make me more utterly alone than that. 

Re: Riding a wave

Yes, ok
Thanks @Phoenix_Rising

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear I super super super like that story. I'm guessing you are in here-but-not mode because things are tricky in your world today. It must be a day for it! Today is so so so so so so so so hard. It shouldn't be this hard! Smiley Sad

Re: Riding a wave

My day wasn't so so so so so so so so hard @Phoenix_Rising (unlike yours has been 😞 ) but my afternoon has been tricky. I tried to settle some scared and possibly misdirected frustrated feelings I've been having, and have somehow found myself feeling more scared since but now with an extra layer of frustration. Plus I was cooking dinner an hour ago.

But you're right - things really shouldn't be so hard.

I'm glad you liked that story. It's almost book o'clock here. Want to read with puffer fish and I? We've got a home reader to do and then can choose one of our stories.

Re: Riding a wave

It must be the day for awful things @Phoenix_Rising @Catcakes @CheerBear  @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member . I am so sorry these things are happening to you, to me, to us all. 

This morning I was put in the too hard basket by the facility where I am doing a course, and there is nothing I can do about it. 

Phoenix_Rising, I hope it's okay for me to be here with you, but not here, I hope that is okay for now. 

So much to say, to offer, no words to do it with.

I'll hover around the rock stack @Zoe7 made for me. (thank you Zoe7) I'd like to borrow the white swan floatie when I've settled a bit, though. Wouldn't be a good idea right now, with me raining and all, it'd fill up and I'd not float anymore. Smiley Embarassed

Re: Riding a wave

Like = I hear you @Former-Member

I am so sorry to hear that has happened.  

Wow.  You must be reeling.  

Please take care of you tonight.

Sending you cyber hugs.
