Trying to stay Sane

🐛🤗  bug squishing hugs incoming from me 😂

I know what you are dealing with is far from funny, but I did get a giggle from your typo.  I certainly never meant to get any form of hilarity from your very difficult situation, not in any way.  Sadly I don't know what to say about your Mum.  Do you know what your Dad would have done under these circumstances?  I guess he has had a lifetime of dealing with your Mum.  If you could have a word in your Dad's ear right now ... what would you ask him, and what do you think his response would be?

I really hope things improve soon.  Please try not to take to heart, anything negative that your Mum says to you. I know you to be a highly competent, confident and beautiful person.  Now go make coffee for all the other beautiful people in your vicinity. And please have confidence in yourself.  I know you will make this work, not only for yourself but also for your loved ones.

Much love to you, and I have so much admiration for you.

Emelia 💞

@Anastasia  Thinking of you today ❤️

Hi @Anastasia , I just want to check in with you today...I think today is your 'day off'...

I was wondering if you could maybe book an appt with your holistic counsellor...I know that finances and time probably make that hard to do 😞

If not, then we are here to listen and support you 💚

It's getting colder here, I am actually having to wear long sleeves and long pants! I prefer to wear as few clothes as possible 😄  My right hand is almost healed (as well as the left having healed already) and I'm trying hard not to scratch it. I have a family party on Saturday night that I'm dreading - my abusive father will be there, plus I always feel very uncomfortable with that side of the family. However, I'm psyching myself up to go. It's actually just occurred to me while writing that that I could discuss a possible policy of minimal contact with that side of the family (in future) with my psych...I see her today, so will do that I think. 

I'm sending wishes for your coping, sleep, hope, anxiety levels, confidence, your Mum not to be difficult and to get outside help, your boy to remain as well as possible, your business to go well, and recovery for you on your 1 1/2 days off each week... Also sending hugs and 💚 and ☕

Hi @Anastasia , I'm online early as I forgot the clocks went back last night. Today is your day off I'm hoping. I hope you can take some time to rest and just 'be'. To lie and stare at the wall and think of nothing, if that helps. With music, or with silence...

I talked with my psychologist about seeing my father's family less often, and then pulled out of the family party last night. I'm glad I did, I was dreading it. Obviously I will have to go to things like engagement parties etc. but I am going to try and limit the rest of the meetings...it's much better for my mental health. 

I miss you lots, but I understand you feel completely overwhelmed 😞 I am sending wishes for that and for whatever else I can think of. Much 💚

Thank you for your message my precious @NatureLover 💚💛🌻🌳

I'm so proud you didn't attend and did what is best for you, go you!!!!

Sending you bug and big hugs everyday always 🙂☕🌞🌄🍀🐞

P.S my ring really helps. I still have the odd relapse but generally my hands are improving due to the ring. Hope you have one that fits now too?

Wishes back for all that you require x

Dear @Anastasia , thinking of you...I wonder how your business is going, whether you're getting foot traffic in. I wonder how difficult your Mum is being. I wonder how your feeling of overwhelm is. I wonder how you're sleeping...

Sending lots of hugs and 💚

Hi precious @NatureLover 

Thank you for thinking of me. I'm ok, exhausted and juggling Mum still very much. My boy is grieving terribly so he's been particularly low too.

My business is doing very well. I have a.small following on Facebook and the ladies that come love me. It's a beautiful Community and I have lots of leads and feelers out. I'm making around 50% of my previous wage and I'm only just getting going and yes our area is impacted by flooding so keeping a lot of foot traffic away. 

How's things with you? Are you ok?

Sending you love and bugs 🐞
