Can I have a hug?!

[Anannymus]

Just that really.
I know people go through a lot worse but at the moment things are pretty crap. I’m scrolling mumsnet looking for something, anything that will help, and it dawned on me to ask if anyone minds just saying,’you’ve got this’ or something encouraging.
silly, I know, but no one to ask IRL.
presumably other people are having a crap time too, so I’ll start.

Hugs to you, you have got this- it will pass, and you will emerge on the other side. 💐

Morning @Anannymus It is indeed a new day. A lot can change in 24 hours. Hang in there xx

Really really glad you're feeling better today! 🤗Keep on keeping on. 💕

Hello,
it was lovely to read your message this morning; thank you. It made me reflect that hope is precious and important to hold onto, and if you cannot see the hope, then it’s really important to reach out for whatever support you need until you do see it again. Your post made me feel like today will also be better here too, even if I have not sorted everything out or anywhere near that. Some more flowers 💐 🌺🌼

Hey lovely, thank you for the update. I love that you’ve put PILE ON!!! on your kettle 😍

morning lovely positive people.
here’s a hug and flowers to everyone that needs one.
yesterday I saw friends in real life, and I have to say, women are brilliant. Whether it is on mumsnet, or at someone’s house, women are so amazing. What we go through and deal with.
we should be revered!
to everyone looking at a rough day, we can do it, we can PILE ON!💐💐💐💐🩷🩷🩷🩷

I love “It may pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass.” That made me laugh, so true!

And if you can’t pile on, put the kettle on! 😂

dwarfbeans and cheapskatemum nice to hear jolly posts! dwarfbeans this made me laugh, my granny would put the kettle on even if your head had fallen off. I’m positively drowning in tea !
im up still, ridiculous late. Got to get up at 6. Looking for friends or consolation on mumsnet. Realise whenever I do that it means I’m heading to a lonely depression, so good! It’s been recognized! Gnight all x

virtual handhold fellow mumsnetter.

you're right, we've got this no matter what it is. there's a little ball of strength inside you.

Thank you, still awake person!
now got to get through another day.
virtual hugs help !

Late to the thread, but offering a non-hugger’s fist bump to @Anannymus. You’re doing great, keep on going.

Big hugs from across the pond. 😁

Thank you!castlerigg and missconductUS That’s so kind. I’ve drunk way too much tonight. It’s a significant night and I’m struggling-as you can probably tell!
big hugs to everyone else who is struggling. It WILL get better. And don’t drink cheap Prosecco!

Im sorry you’re struggling. Have a glass of water and something to eat. Not saying you need to stop drinking cheap Prosecco, but at least give yourself a fighting chance at avoiding the hangover.

👍I must be sozzled, that’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!
thanks for the reminder, water being drunk :)

Yes, lots of water and in the morning, don’t feel bad about drinking too much, just get yourself something to eat and some fresh air, look at the flowers and know that whatever happens, they will keep on growing.

Sending you a cwtch. It’s a Welsh word. Like a hug but filled with so much more comfort and feeling.
Trying not to drink too much tonight. Feeling sad here too.

Big, cuddly squeeze from me. I hope tomorrow (and all the other tomorrows after that) is brighter for you. ☀️

Hey @Anannymus have a squeeze from me. And remember, it’ll be alright in the end, if it’s not alright, it’s not the end yet.

awww, thank you wonderful people! More than you’ll ever know.
wolfiefan I’m sorry you are feeling sad there. I’m sending you a cwtch back, it’s a big one, watch out!
bitoutofpractice thanks for the squeeze! And this quote- ‘ it’ll be alright in the end, if it’s not alright, it’s not the end yet.’ It’s gone on my fridge 🙂
talulahalula and everyone- whatever is happening will NOT be made better by cheap prosecco. Yikes! Stick to vintage bollinger ( on a yacht in Barbados. )
im taking your advice and am Off to look at flowers. And the kitchen is sort of tidy, so that’s a plus.
wetbandits thank you. You’re right, today is a new day. I hope it’s a good one for everyone and I hope you feel better wolfiefan🩷
thank you so much all.

This thread is SO NICE 🥰🥰🥰

Joining the pile one! Hugs to everyone x

talulahalula sorry I missed this somehow, your post strikes me as very wise - to hold on to hope. And to appreciate all the little things - someone mentioned the perfect slice of toast, a flower.
just realising maybe we stopdoing that so much - making the toast and really enjoying it, as it were. my friend will set her best china and tea pot and a plate for the toast and really enjoy it. No chipped mugs for her. I wonder if that tells your sub conscious a message.
I think we will never get everything sorted out. Maybe the posh china makes us feel like we have, for a moment. I’m sure you are achieving a whole lot more than you realise. pile on! ( and put the kettle on)
edited to send flowers back. 🌸🌼🌷🌹🥀🌼🌸🌺🪻🌻🪷

Hello,
just popping on to say THANK YOU. When I needed a hug you were there and I can’t thank you enough. Hugs back, especially to tallulah and wolfifan I hope things are improving.
Things are trudging along, but maybe my mindset has changed,or maybe I had a few nights out with friends, I like to think the virtual hugs reached everyone somehow, but things don’t feel quite so desperate at the moment. I even managed to get a teensy bit organized- which will of course be back to zero tomorrow😀
💐and 🥂 to all. To Celebrate the little wins.

Hey, good morning, so glad your outlook has improved a bit. I started seeing a counsellor through work, it’s solutions focused so it’s helping me with the overwhelm. Going out with friends is great, I am a single parent so not much childcare but I did get out last week for a drink. For the first time in a long time, usually it’s just coffee in the day now and then which is also nice.
I am going to send you some virtual hugs back, your steps to organisation will still be there because it is partly about remembering you can do it and building on that - I am telling myself this as I have a lot to get organised and it feels like one step forward, three steps back, but my counsellor said from my very long to-do list just to pick two things and get these done, and then go back to the list and pick another two things and so on. I don’t find the usual time management strategies to prioritise and plan helpful as everything seems important and I cannot stick to detailed plans, I find them suffocating; picking something to do depending how I feel and doing that in a kind of rough order going in the right direction with an eye to when things need done is about what I can manage. And accepting that things will take longer than I want because a day only has 24 hours.
