Really good!

Kitty6277 · 06-07-2019 12:44am

Feeling a lot of things. But at the moment the standout one is...alone. Really alone.

Graces7 · 06-07-2019 4:39pm

Blissfully peacefully restfully solitary at the exhausted end of a simple pleasant day.

Lonely
Grieving

SaltSweatSugar · 17-07-2019 2:29pm

Relieved. Had therapy yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks and got so much off my chest. Spoke in depth about the trauma I experienced a few weeks ago and how I've been feeling about it. Talked about post traumatic stress and the impact it can have. Feel a lot less burdened by it and kind of happy to know that what I've been going through is normal after such an experience.

I've let my roots grow too long in my hair and it's driving me mad today :mad:

Can't wait to get my hair done tomorrow. Might treat myself and get my nails done too

Deja Boo · 25-07-2019 8:52pm

Just wishing I felt better is all.

Tammy! · 31-07-2019 11:41am

Hope you're feeling better now Deja.

I've too much to do today. Busy bee.

SaltSweatSugar · 31-07-2019 11:58pm

Happy. Just...happy.

Exhausted, sick, and scared.

The past few days have been a blur since my uncle died suddenly on Sunday. Spent Monday running around like a blue ar$ed fly trying to sort myself out. Drove the three hours to the town where he lived for the removal on Tuesday. Feck all sleep that night and up again early the following morning to go back to the house before the funeral. I was asked to read a prayer of the faithful. Somehow managed to get through that but fell apart at the next one which mentioned my late mother. Only for a cousin on the other side of the family put his arm around me my legs would’ve given way there on the alter. It was the first family funeral since my mother died and it all came rushing back in a big way.

I’ve had about 10 hours sleep altogether since Tuesday and I’m running on fumes at this stage. I have to go to work in a few hours but I’m wide awake at the moment feeling sick to my stomach, which I’ve been feeling for the guts of a week now. I’m definitely off form but not sure what’s causing it, which also scares me. I know I need to go to my GP for a check up. My uncle was 48 and the most fit, active and healthy man I knew, and it didn’t matter an iota in the end. I’m fit, active and a healthy weight but I have my vices. I know I don’t eat as well as I should, or get as much sleep as I should. I like a drink, but I don’t overdo it. But I’m scared that it won’t make any difference, and I could still drop dead at any time.

I need a hug.

Condolences on the loss of your uncle and your mother. May they Rest in Peace.
My own mother passed away earlier this year so I know all about what you're going through. There's a Bereavement thread on Boards.ie which might help you.
I'm sending you a virtual hug. Hope it helps in some small way.

One of my "faith family" has died; the second in three weeks. She was 92, and just went to sleep. Her entire life in the service of needy folk. Sleep well faithful one!

Another guy, and another heartbreak.

SaltSweatSugar · 31-10-2019 1:07pm

Devastated, nervous, sick.

My best friends dad is dying. She told me yesterday and her family is absolutely heartbroken. Her family is like my adopted second family. I’ve offered to let the rest of our group of friends know as she’s too upset to do it herself. I’m trying to do what I can to help them. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, fu*k cancer.

Deja Boo · 11-11-2019 7:35pm

am so sorry SaltSweatSugar

I've... lost all confidence.

Sunny Dayz · 14-11-2019 10:48am

So tired and overwhelmed.

I can't seem to catch a break. There's always something. If I lift my foot off the pedal even for a day or two it all backs up and no one else will pick up the slack.

I've cancelled the spa booking I had optimistically made for this afternoon, I know I won't be able to relax, I've too much to do and can't take an afternoon out of life.

Tammy! · 14-11-2019 11:26am

I have loads to do aswell Sunny. Started a deep clean and clearout of the house this morning and I'm only a quarter of the way through. Now I don't want to finish it!!

SaltSweatSugar · 20-11-2019 1:00am

A very mixed bag today.

My best friends dad died today. I’m devastated for them, he was such a wonderful man and I was honoured to know him. I’ve known him for fourteen years, ever since I started a band with his son and he let us practice in their shed. He was one of the kindest, warmest men I’ve ever met and was always very good to me, inviting me to spend Christmas or New Years with them if he knew my own dad wasn’t around. I rang in 2019 with them, and I’m so heartbroken that his family has lost him.

I had my last therapy session today, and I found it so odd that my main reason for going and the first thing I spoke to my therapist about was needing help dealing with losing a parent, and one of the last things we spoke about today was how I felt about my best friend losing one of her parents.

I’m happy to be finished therapy, as I feel I’ve gotten everything I needed from it. My therapist is absolutely wonderful and I know I can always go back if I need to, but I feel like my life has changed so much from therapy. It was definitely the best decision I ever made and I’m looking forward to moving onwards and upwards in life!
