Am Not Coping

[Faith-and-Hope]

I believe in good-will thoughts helping to carry us @Zoe7 ...... that there is energy in how we care for each other, and it's a healing energy.

Here is the rose from my front garden @Zoe7 ....

Would you believe I took it last week before you posted yours ?  FC Hon ..... we have it ....

@Zoe7, you matter to me. I was saying to @Sans911 the other day that I worry I am not the right person to contribute when people need hope. I feel so defective and broken and hopeless (totally lacking hope) that I worry I will say the wrong thing and make things worse.

For what it’s worth, when I saw the message from earlier today come through on email (while I was melting in my car, waiting for my psych appointment) it felt not good to me, too.

Do you know how much harder it is to leave with you around Hon 

I want to leave here (the forum) and basically everywhere! But I think of you (and one special little turtle + a few other gorgeous people) and I can't go. I am finding it so hard being on here and even harder irl - and if I lose the connections here then I have no-one else @Faith-and-Hope - but being here is also adding to my difficulties - I just don't know what I'm doing!

And here is an iris I have that was in bloom ....

Hopefully the difficulties here will be sorted before long @Zoe7, and things will settle again ..... I have hope and faith in that ......

♥️ @Former-Member .....

@Former-Member I have never seen you ever say anything that would contribute to people losing hope. Infact the opposite - you say how you feel and others can relate - and that is a contribution worth giving 

Thankyou for acknowledging that the message earlier today could be taken 'out of context' and not in a 'feel good' way. I know it was absolutely not meant that way - sometimes our words do not convey what we intend, but I was at such a vulnerable stage at the time that it really hit hard.

@Faith-and-Hope I am very reluctant to believe that those things will be sorted out any time soon. I think there are some very big issues that will take alot of time to work through - and honestly - some 'mistakes' can't be fixed!

ps- we do have the same rose - FC 

[Faith-and-Hope]

I thought it was the same rose ...... look at that ...... ❣️

Not all all mistakes can be fixed @Zoe7 ..... but some can have bridges built over or past them .... others dull with time and support ...... others get apologised for, and although that doesn’t fix them it can make them soften a little and become a bit easier to live with .....

Life is complicated, but full of beauty and amazing things too .....

[Faith-and-Hope]

And amazing people @Zoe7 .....

Some of those kids you have taught will grow up to be amazing people (I hope all of them) ....... and as I remember the special teachers that made a difference in my life, they will remember you .....
