Re: Trying to stay Sane

Hi lovely lady @Anastasia  sending you some love and light. I know things are crappy this week for, and I just hope you do realise we all care for you here on the forums and look forward to hearing from you when you're ready.

 

Youre a strong, tenacious, positive and super caring lady - just gently reminding you of that.

 

Love & hugs,

Re: Trying to stay Sane

I love you L,

 

Your words warm my heart. Thank you!!!

 

I do hope that you are ok? I haven't seen an update from you. Have you heard about volunteering roles as yet?

Re: Trying to stay Sane

Hi @Anastasia 

 

I've had an emotional week 2 x psychologist appts (I'm dumping one after this week, as the newer one is so much better), an appt with my pdoc (whom I don't really respect that much) & a new GP appt (to talk about sleep issues with) - so, yes I haven't really been up to posting an update on my thread.  My anxiety leading up to, during and after these appts have left me worn out. So,

I have just been quickly touching base with those who I know are going through 'tough stuff' & may appreciate my thoughts and bring a smile - if just for a short period of time.

 

I heard back from the local council regarding the volunteering opportunities. It's now up to me to apply directly with the organisation. I haven't had the confidence to do so yet, but I will. I promise I will!!  If I get accepted, it'll do me the world of good, im sure. I just need to get this instantaneous morning anxiety under control - it kicks in as soon as I open my eyes in the morn.

 

Mum is going to visit my sister interstate on Monday, so I'll be on my own for over a week. I jus hope I make it ok?!?

 

Hope you are improving lovely, I really do. xx

I hear and understand what you are saying. You most certainly do bring a smile to my face so thank you. ❣️ I am sorry your anxiety is giving you hell, I'm proud that you are determined to follow up your volunteer applications yourself. I am stoked you have found a better psychologist, that is great news!!! πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ

You will, we are here as are the chat lines please use us/them. You won't be alone xxx Your mum must be doing well which is good news x

 

Hope you are improving lovely, I really do. xx

 

I am ok. Just pulled in every direction by everyone. Very thinly spread. Crazy time of the year at work for me and I have a week off over Christmas so planning around my absence so all staff here are taken care of. I love them but they are needy at the best of times πŸ™‚ I am doing everything in my power to self care.

Offloaded more of the chores to the boys, walking everyday usually twice, (shed some excess that I needed to) working on communicating better with my bf (never been a strong point) as I grew up in a house where we never spoke of things. And have some boundary setting to discuss with my boy. So hopefully onwards and upwards but it's all just a lot. Hence my time here lately is greatly reduced. 

Thank you for checking in. I always keep you in my thoughts you re special to me L.

 

Take care @WIP  Levi β£οΈπŸ•

 

Tagging @Emelia8  and @Lee82 as she's always asking after me xxx hope you are ok beautiful?


 

Re: Trying to stay Sane

keep it going hun. Love you lots

Re: Trying to stay Sane

Em can I ask you. Did you have pain at the site of the lump? 

@Emelia8 

Re: Trying to stay Sane

@Anastasia πŸ’–πŸ˜Š

 

My cancer lump felt like a small (pathology confirmed 1cm) hard angular pebble. Not at all painful.

 

I expect you are getting anxious about your upcoming tests? What time on Tuesday is your apt?

 

Em 🌷
