That Sunday Feeling!

[Hushabyemountain98]

Welcome to to my new thread. I hope that all my MN friends from Onwards and Upwards will join me and maybe a few new ones!xx

Hello Hush.

Yes, my day was certainly a bit better yesterday. Thanks again for being there for me.

Are you doing ok? I've got my counsellor tomorrow.

Xx

Hello WTAFF.
I am glad that yesterday was a little better for you.
I hope today is too.
Good luck with your Counsellor tomorrow.
I saw mine yesterday. It was very helpful as always.
Only a few tears this week!
I am okay thank you. I have walked my dog and been to the clothes bank with clothes I cleared from my wardrobe last week.
I better get busy as have quite a few things to get through today.
I hope you have a good day.
Take care xx

Hi all,
I hope everyone is okay?
How did you get on with your Counsellor yesterday WTAFF?
I had a busy day yesterday. I had a funeral to attend. Which was sad but I got to see some lovely people that I haven't seen for years.
Today I have been Mums taxi service.
I have done food shopping and cut the grass front and back.
Better start the ironing.
What excitement !
Bye for now.

Hi Hush.

The second session was as tough as the first. I cried again. It is apparent to me that I have far more issues than I initially thought!

Isn't it strange that someone else can see what is so blindingly obvious when it's pointed out to you but you've never noticed it?

I'm sorry that you had to attend a funeral yesterday. Sorry for your loss.

Are you doing ok in yourself? Xx

I hope everyone else is well.

Hello can I join in here, I've just realised what this thread is all about.

I've had some of my own threads here before and have been on the divorce/separation board too. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since I moved to my new house and after the first 2 weeks, where I surprised myself at how well I coped, I have spent the last 2 weeks experiencing a wide range of emotions. I don't think that other people 'get' it - none of my family have experienced marriage breakdown. They seem to think that it's just a case of getting used to the changes - probably in the next few weeks...

I've seen a couple of counsellors, the first was fantastic but I just couldn't afford to keep going. She spotted patterns of behaviour in my past and picked up on the way I spoke about things/the words I used etc. I then saw one free through a staff benefit scheme and she was really just someone to talk to, she didn't offer any real help to me. I hope that those of you who are seeing someone are benefiting from it.

Hi WTAFF,
Sorry that the second session with your Counsellor was as tough as the first.
It is better to talk these emotions out.
I cried lots and I still cry but not so much.
It has really helped me. I really hope you feel the same.
They are trained and if you get a good one they see so much that you don't.
Thank you for your kindness.
I am doing okay at the moment thanks.
I am just tired. I think I need a break!
I hope you are having a nice evening.
Take care xx

Welcome to our thread faffalotty.
I hope that all goes well in your new home.
I think you are right about people not getting it. I am sure they don't unless they have been through it. Let's hope they never do!
Sorry that you have different experiences with Counsellors. It is a shame that you couldn't continue with your original one. My Counsellor is really good. A great help.
Bye for now. Have a nice evening xx

Hi my mates , welcome faffalotty , I am retiring home from my pilmgrimage and send manus prays for you all on this thread 🙏 This is my last holiday , Judith chalmers has left my life lol !! I will go home to an empty house and be alone again but do you know I have hardly thought about him here , I feel a little calmer and I know I am healing. I came here last year with the sick and I was mentally sick , I have been able to reflect after 31 yrs with 1 man that I can cope alone love to you all ❤️

Returning home and I said many prayers lol !

A quick good afternoon.
Hope that everyone is OK?
Hush, how are things progressing? Well done Kirk - glad that the pilgrimage has been calming.
And welcome faffalotty.
I am awaiting the plumber - it's never good news when they visit. Have a quiet weekend planned.
Sending everyone warm weekend wishes. xx

Hi Kirk and Louisa,

Have a safe journey home Kirk. Thank you for your prayers. Let's hope God is listening!
It sounds as though it has done you good.
I hope you will be okay when you get back home.
I am sure you have the inner strength to get through this.

I hope the plumbers visit is okay louisa and not too expensive! I had my boiler serviced last Friday and it wasn't too bad.
I hope you enjoy your quiet weekend.
Have you finished your home makeover?

I am okay thanks. Not a lot happening here at the moment. Talking of which I better vacuum through before cooking dinner. I did get rid of several sacks to the clothes bank before I started taking stuff out again!

I hope everyone has a good weekend. Take care xx

I hope all my MN Friends have had a good weekend.
Not too much of 'That Sunday Feeling!' xx

Hello Hush and everyone.

I'm a bit more positive tonight. I've started to decorate the back bedroom so have been busy stripping wallpaper for most of the day.

Watching X Factor.

How are you Hush? Xx

Hello WTAFF.
Glad you are more positive tonight.
It sounds asthough you have had a busy day.
I hope all the decorating goes well.
I watched X Factor. I am finding it very disappointing this year.
I am watching the f1 race now.
I am okay thanks.
I have felt that I am being taken advantage of.
I do all I can for everyone. Not sure that I am appreciated.
Just feeling tired I think.
Take care xx

I am feeling we are all a bit stronger ??? I hope so we are fabulous strong women who are kind caring and just brilliant . I told the priest that I can't forgive him and I know this is not helping me move on and it makes me angry 😡, great advice he said you don't need to forgive him ever just feel sorry for him , he has lost everything and everyone he cared about family friends his children all I have lost is him !!! That has for now made me feel better ! For me I am going to look forward to my new grandchild in 7 weeks time 👶

I hope you are right Kirk.
I think the Priest gave you good advice.
What a wonderful event you have to look forward to.
Only 7 weeks to go!
Are you knitting?
I cannot knit but I can crochet.
I am making another iced cake for a family member.
I hope you are having a good day?xx

I can't knit , but my grandma is 89 and is knitting for England 😀 She will be the baby's great great grandma if it's a girl there will be 5 generations of us ❤️

It is good that your Grandma can still knit at 89.
Are you hoping for a girl?
I wanted a girl but had two boys.
Not that I would swap them now. Well not this week anyway!!😜
I hope you have a good day xx

I hope that all my MN friends have a good day.
The weather is not great here today.
Could do with some sunshine.
Just mustering the energy and enthusiasm to walk my dog.
Have done the station run with my son.
Not a lot planned today apart from the usual boring stuff!
Is anyone doing anything exciting?
Well I better get going.
Have a good day xx

Hello Hush.

We had fog here first thing but once that had cleared up we had glorious sunshine.

Other than work I haven't really been doing anything exciting. I've got another appointment with my counsellor tomorrow. How's it going with yours?

Have a nice evening. Xx

Good morning WTAFF.
Sounds as though you had good weather after the fog yesterday.
We have fog forecast for here today.
I hope your Counselling goes well today.
I have mine on Monday.
I have to take my dog to the vet this afternoon for her vaccinations.
Not looking forward to going after my last visit.
Good luck with your Counsellor.
Take care xx

hope your counselling session goes well WTAFF

Hush - how was the trip to the vets?

I'm having workmen in today (were meant to be here at 8.30...) Need to get the work done, but I always feel uncomfortable with people in the house. Just can't relax and carry on as normal.

Just read that back - Ha! What's normal?!!

Hi WTAFF and Faffalotty,

I hope you are both okay?
How did it go with your Counsellor today WTAFF?
I hope you let some more feelings/emotions out?
Did your acounsellor give you any helpful advice?
Have you got all the wallpaper off in the bedroom?

The vet visit was okay thank you faffalotty.
I didn't want to go in because of the memories of taking my
Poor old dog in there for the last time.
My dog was hard work.
I felt as though I had done a few rounds with Mike Tyson!
She was just full of it!

I hope the workmen did what they needed to do?
I know what you mean about having people in your house.
I had workman here for almost 6 months last year and it was difficult at times.

It sounds as though you have not lost your sense of humour!😜

I hope you both have a nice evening xx

Hi Hush and Faff.

I hope you're both well.

I found my counselling session really useful today. I have been struggling thinking that I was controlling and needy in my relationship. However, my counsellor pointed out something which is now obvious to me - the cries of being controlling and jealous were control mechanisms by him. The aim being to wear down my self esteem.

I feel a lot more positive - it really seems to be helping.

Does anyone have any plans for the weekend? Xx

Hi WTAFF.
I am glad you found your Counselling session really useful today.
Some men can be really clever and have you believe there is something wrong with you when there isn't. Reminds me of the film 'Gaslight' with Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer.
So glad you feel a lot more positive.

I am not sure what I am doing at the weekend yet.
Are you doing anything nice?

Goodnight xx
