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.

where is your purply lovely fluffy blanket? wrap it tight around you and stick 2 fingers up to the world.

Can I do anything to help? you can still email me if you want

CvQ · 16/09/2008 00:03

thanks.ill be alright.just hadnt quite finished with my good days yet.i was happy when she turned up and wanted to bury my head in the garden when she left followed by lots of sulking and thinking.add a bit of crying and add a bit of anger!am starting to think i havve made a huge mistake opening something up

no- it's like an abscess. It has to be cleared out otherwise it'll keep coming back worse and worse. It's unpleasant clearing out, but the relief afterwards will be immense.
You have your blanket though? gentle (((hugs))) to get you through the night.

thumbwitch · 16/09/2008 00:17

agree with diffID - it has to be cleared out to be healed.
Have you had some hot chocolate tonight? I know it's only a panacea but it does make us feel better. Go have some now if you haven't had it yet.

CvQ · 16/09/2008 00:45

no none tonight.ive run out!

thumbwitch · 16/09/2008 01:59

bummer. I hope you have gone to bed by now; I am still working but will be finishing off soon as getting a tad sleepy.
((((((((hugs))))))))) for you and hope you get some good rest tonight.

Morning honey.

hope today is a return to the good days... write yesterday off.. (which I know is hard)
Thinking of you. remember to eat and drink today/.

mellyonion · 16/09/2008 09:14

morning cvq....

you had a bad day yesterday...thats sad, but fine......don't let it turn into a bad week...hang onto the good days...remember how it feels to be lighter and less troubled, and aim again for that....

different id is right...you need to get rid of this shit to allow it all to heal nicely, not just plaster over the cracks where it will stay damaging you under the surface.....

get out for your walk...take j in the buggy too....it can only do you both good.... is it today j has nursery? get yourself some choccie supplies when you're on your walk, and indulge yourself in some treats when you're alone this afo.....settle down to some crappy daytime tv and try to rest yourself.

may your day be sunny today........xxx

Habbibu · 16/09/2008 10:19

Hi there,

Sorry you had a bad day, and I can completely understand why part of you wants to shut everything up again, but you know that you need to get it all out - clean out the wound thoroughly, to use the analogy others have said. That's bound to be a very painful process, and I wish so much it was easier for you, but it will make things better in the long run. Hang on in there... xx

morning
still fed up but today is another day.and yes js at nursery this afternoon.im planning to sleep

Habbibu · 16/09/2008 11:52

hello there. It's such a rollercoaster, isn't it? You are doing so well, even though I know it doesn't feel like that. Hope you get a good sleep later.

good to see you here

I am hoping that you will find that gradually you have as many good days as bad, then but by bit more good days than bad, and without realising it a bad day is a rare thing but just to be accepted and the next day will be better - if you know what I mean?!?!

Hope you have a good sleep later.

bellavita · 16/09/2008 12:53

Hope you are feeling better today.

When you take j to nursery, perhaps you can stock yourself up with some goodies and a tub of hot chocolate powder for tonight and then you can make the flask up.

Heres hoping for a good sleep.

CvQ · 16/09/2008 15:08

i was hoping for a good sleep but just cant settle

bellavita · 16/09/2008 15:24

oh dear, perhaps you and j can have an early night then?

CvQ · 16/09/2008 15:28

hello you!
i am actually really tired though.my eyes are really tired but my bodys going 'oh no i dont think so thankyou very much'
i slept quite solid lastnight so am thinking its probably why im so tired.
they seemed to work

bellavita · 16/09/2008 15:35

That's good that they seemed to work.

I had no trouble sleeping this afternoon (blush], I sat in the conservatory and put one of my programmes on that I had taped, saw the start, but woke up to the music playing at the end.

Remember to take your flask upstairs tonight with you and maybe you could make a sandwich to take up with you, clingfilm it on a plate for later?

CvQ · 16/09/2008 15:48

thats a good idea.i dont think of taking something like that up.need to leave again in 45 mins.might try and go read for a bit.

bellavita · 16/09/2008 15:56
