kezza no i dont mind.i know whatever i say will get read but at this stage in my journey i need this place so i guess i am beyond caring iukwim.and i dont mean that in an unkind way.

Good for you, you sound much stronger. What is good is that your mum was there when you needed her, maybe not emotionally but physically at least. Now you can take back the control.

Tell me about J, is he crawling yet? I have a ds who is 11 months and he is into everything. I forgot how much hard work the crawling stage is!

thumbwitch · 10/09/2008 14:33

got a client - back in an hour

needsupport · 10/09/2008 14:43

bellavita why is everything so hard. why is my life like this

mellyonion · 10/09/2008 17:06

ns....been out...just catching up on your day....

sending you love and strength.....

evenings and nights seem to be your most difficult times....maybe you can plan something mindnumbing to while away the evening...a film?? "the holiday" is a lovely one...very weepy though! "school of rock" is a brill feel good film..... i have both...will happily send them to you if you like...let me know if you want them.

keep your chin up lovie....when you hit rock bottom, the only way is up....you may stay at the bottom for a while, but you can't get any lower....you will be moving upwards in time...don't lose sight of that...ever.

i'm working in a minute...but will try hard to pop on and "see" you later...

xxxxxx

i will get back up and tomorrow i am getting this cast off i hope.so i can start doing stuff properly with j again.this hasnt helped as i have been feeling like half a parent.

bellavita · 10/09/2008 17:32

I wish I knew, I wish I had some answers for you ..... but like I said, progress has been made today and that must count for something eh?

You are getting your cast off tomorrow - which will be another positive.

what melly said about the evenings and nights appearing to be the most difficult times is right, and I think she has made a good suggestion about watching some films?

Remember we all love you.

Right, gotta go get some tea now as I am back off to work at 6.45 and I need to get a shower etc.

xxxxx

needsupport · 10/09/2008 17:48

thankyou x

differentID · 10/09/2008 18:31

hello, there. I see you had a better day?

needsupport · 10/09/2008 18:57

a hard day but i think i have done ok and it nearly over.have faced up to things i have hidden from.i will take back some power somehow

differentID · 10/09/2008 19:04

you go girl. It's been building for a while though hasn't it? I think the river banks just couldn't hold any more in and flooded, to get rid of loads of bad stuff. You are a strong woman and you have friends and support here. Looking forward to tomorrow?

needsupport · 10/09/2008 19:46

thats the problem...i let things build up instead of dealing with them when they happen.im not good at doing stuff because it scares me and i have to either have a little push or just take a leap and chance where ill fall.but i will get there again but i feel like im closer to square one now.stuff i have hidden away is waiting to tumble out and that is pertrifying.this is a road i am taking alone

yes it will be good to get this off my arm tomorrow

differentID · 10/09/2008 19:58

I'm willing to bet that the first thing you do is scratch it. scratch, scratch, scratch and then breathe a sigh of relief. You will let us know if it is?
I believe you will do it, that you can do it. You seem to be much more positive about finding your way again,

DutchOma · 10/09/2008 20:35

I'm desperately trying to get back on MSN to you, but it keeps crashing.

DutchOma · 10/09/2008 21:52

We've managed to get back on line. she has a large fluffy purple blanket and some squash and is trying to rest.
No doubt you will all understand.

differentID · 10/09/2008 22:01

absolutely. sending (((((hugs))))) and hope your fluffy blanket can keep you safe. Speak soon!

bythepowerofgreyskull · 10/09/2008 22:44

evening all
just popping in with some marshmallows for hot chocolate.
sounds like you have made some big progress the last 48 hours - even if it has been the hardest 48 hours for a while.

still with you honey. jjx

thumbwitch · 10/09/2008 22:49

love the purple fluffy blanket - pull it round you whenever you need to and feel secure in it.
Have shedloads to do this eve so might not be on much but will dip in and out.
(((((((hugs))))))))) and if I don't get back, good luck with having your cast removed tomorrow!
