Taking the plunge

[Maggie]

@eth  I really feel for you, as finding a good fit with trauma counselling is so important, but really tricky. I think it’s important to grieve loss, whatever way it visits and leaves. 

We are here with and for you @eth . Never any need to apologise, a thread is only a thread because of the input each one of us puts into it. 💕💕💕

Thanks a lot @Maggie xx

@eth  Hi eth and thank you for tagging me in the thread. It is tough I know only too well..... just not having face to face is so hard so not seeing your psych for many months will be very difficult indeed. We all  are of course here for you whatever way we can help. Have faith eth your psych will be back in November and she will hopefully find somone in the interim to have sessions with you. Love peaxx

Sorry to hear about your psychologist @eth. That's a loss and a hard one especially with the difficulties in connecting with supports at the moment.

Lindt is Middle's favourite @Maggie. I hope you are enjoying yours. How are you holding up today?

Very grey here, weather and mood. Family video call was lovely but I think I just miss them more now. Same with chatting with Mr. Distance feels big today and little feels right 😔

Thanks a lot @greenpea  and @CheerBear   

We're having our Easter feaster later this afternoon so I'm going now to join the prep.

Hearing you about being distanced from your special people CheerBear.  Take care lovely.  I know it's a challenge keeping the day special for kiddles when feeling the feels you describe.

@CheerBear  It’s a really grey day today for you. I get that you miss them more, and Mr distance. I’m hearing you. 💜💜💜

I was was going to ring bro, but thought twice. If I come on too strong he will vanish, so walking a distance behind in ways. I will wait for him to ring, Easter is just another day in his life, nothing special at all.

I started on a slide downward, so I’ve backed off from big stuff for now. 

Weather here is beautiful. Another perfect autumn day.

Do whatever it takes to get through @CheerBear . 💕💕

@greenpea  👋👋👋👋 Happy Easter 🐥🐥🐣🐣💕☀️

Hey @Sans911 @greenpea

@MaggieHearing you about your brother. I feel that way a little with my son.

@eth

What a good idea to make contacting others part of a routine.  I might put it into a weekly routine rather than a daily one.  The good thing about the routine part of it for me, is that it helps regulate my intense anxiety and defensiveness.  I am less likely to overreact if that makes sense.

Best wishes of this season ... however you interpret it.

Sitting with you @CheerBear 🖤🖤

Good morning @Maggie  and @CheerBear   hope today is a better day for you both.  Noticing how quiet it is here this morning.  Sending hugs xx

Hi everyone 👋

@Maggie thanks for your thoughts ❤ How's that slide going today? We might be a day behind you as far as weather goes. Yesterday was very grey but it's stunning today. Have you spoken with brother since your message?

Thanks for the hugs @eth. Some back for you. Hope you're going OK today.

Cleaning day today. The messiest room in the house is the kids room (closely followed by sibling's room). There is crap everywhere 🤯. Big is flipping out about school from home which starts on Wednesday. They will be doing a usual school day which means sitting at a desk from 9-3. They want to move their desk from the dining room in to the bedroom so they can have some quiet. Totally understandable only it means creating space where there just isn't any 😏 So that's what I have been working on today - cleaning, sorting and moving stuff around. Middle is learning how to use roller shoes. I am waiting for a fall and another broken arm 😑 Little has cabin fever. Sibling is out. I'm starting to find it all a bit hard. Vent over.

Hope today has some good in it for all ❤
