You guys are so great! Thanks to all of you who just let me be me! I am so thankful that you all supported the part of me who actually NEEDED to sit on the pity pot. The stupid voice inside my head that tells me that I am not allowed to take an emotional break did not like to hear all the support you guys had for me. What a releif it was to just sit back and let things go for a day. Now, I have some clarity on the situation... I can ACT, not REACT.
LOL there are so many of us learning the same things at the same time....LOL I too think I have to go go go....now I am learning that some days I need to be gentle with me, that's okay to cocoon if I must, now that I have given myself permission to do that, sometimes I only need to cocoon for an hour or so. Hang in there.
I tried to post on your previous message, got into a tussle over registering - went through all the motions, then was told, this name and email address belong to someone else! Grrrr..... is it possible to strangle a computer? Anyway, I finally sussed that I needed to "log in"! By that time, you were better!
Just want to say, I know that feeling - wanting to stay under the duvet.... I used to be scared to see what mail had arrived in the morning, and did this stupid thing of trying to see it from top of stairs.... lol
Just take care, and be aware of fact that having a bad day is normal, if, on the other hand, you find yourself sleeping all the time (except at night, when you need it), go see the doc, early sign of depression, we dont have to put up with that nowadays!
Have loved reading your shares, first time I have written back!
