Onwards and Upwards - the cvq/ns support and hot chocolate thread

[Habbibu]

Since we've nearly tipped the last one over the 1000 posts mark, here's the new thread for cvq and for her friends to help this lovely lady to keep on getting better.

Ok, missus - you here? Come and talk.

im here.bit tearful but here
thankyou so much for doing this.feel a bit of a twat getting upset about a new thread but its like leaving all my thoughts behind.

can we get my music moved over here??

Oh, hello! - umm - I guess we could copy and paste - it's just links after all. If you can tell me which links you want (just note the times of the posts) I'll do it. Not twattish at all to be sad about old thread - it's been a very emotional process for you.

Hi CVQ - Have not spoken on your thread before but wanted to say i love the new positive thread title.

Onwards & Upwards is the way to go x

knock knock knock......anyone hommmmeee????

hey ns....just popping onto your new thread....how you doing sweetie??

i feel like i've neglected you for the last few days...i'm sorry...i've been working, had loads on, and am sitting down for the first time today while my pasta is cooking..

i'll be back in the morning to catch up properly.

don't let one small incident spoil a great, productive, positive day...you were a brave girl today...you should be proud.

never feel ashamed of your actions..you have been through a terrible, terrible thing, and you are here, you are living, and you are slowly but surely moving onwards and upwards, growing and coping more and more each day...

you were a catepillar, you've been in your coccoon for a little while, keeping yourself closed away, safe from the world, but you know what.??? when you are ready, be it now, next week, next month or next year, you will emerge as a beautiful, bright, confident butterfly....and you will fly!

keep on top of the feelings when you feel good....remember them, and draw from them.

here's my song for you again....

Oh, lovely, I'm off to bed, and then dd and I are off down south in the morning. I'll try to check in before we go, otherwise I'll look back in at the weekend. I hope you have a good week - you are such a star, I know you can do this. x

thats a lovely song.the words felt quite powerful.am a little teary but thankyou x

thankyou habbibu.you have a good break and massive thankyou for supporting me and being here to listen x

hello lovey, glad you have had the techy help from Habbibu et al. and that MNHQ have been lovely and helped out with moving my thread (yes, mine, ) into MH to save it for you.

Sorry to hear of your upset at the hardware store but at least you managed to get your flask and you got your walk as well. Tomorrow you might be able to get a few more things.

Another idea though - can your mum sleep with just a side lamp on, perhaps on the floor? THen if that was on all the time, you'd be able to walk into a lit room (admittedly dimly lit but nonetheless) which would help.

Hope your flask has some quality hot chocolate in it! Or better still, that it HAD some quality hot chocolate in and is now empty.

So, shopping list for tomorrow (if health food shop open):
Rescue remedy
some essential oils (and an oil burner and some candles if you haven't already got them):
mandarin
roman chamomile
lavender
basil

These can be used together or individually in an oil burner to help with stress/ anxiety/ insomnia/ anger/ depression etc.
The ratio you would need to use them in is:
mandarin 10 drops
roman chamomile 3 drops
lavender 7 drops
basil 2 drops

None of them will interfere with your meds so you don't need to worry about that.
(copied from previous thread so you don't need to go back and look for them)

I will be here for a bit - have some work to do so will be dotting back and forth.
