Escaping the Slough of Despond

[Strugglingmum]

It will all be grand. You have them well trained. Xx

[EJ]

Are you ok Paula. Did you fall out ?

[Paula]

Are you ok Paula. Did you fall out ?

No, thanks love, I just jarred my bad leg.

So, Suzi, you’d be proud of me. I experienced what can only be described as verbal diarrhoea and told Si how everything is stressing me out. He asked what I was expecting him to do about it, which is nothing as there isn’t anything to do about it and I also told him to tell me not to worry was like telling the sun not to shine right now. But I told him .....

[Suzi]

Oh no!!! Are you resting?

[Jaquaia]

Ouch!!! Hope you're taking it easy! It's easy to do, I've tipped a wheelchair loads... admittedly it wasn't me in the chair but we'll gloss over that....

[Suzi]

Now I want to know the rest of that story......

[Jaquaia]

I don't do well with kerbs, I've tipped my mum out 4 or 5 times, so now my mum doesn't trust me unless there's a slope, and even then I think she's dubious

[Strugglingmum]

Oh Paula. Hope your leg settles. Xx
Verbal diarrhoea. Well did it release it the pressure valve???

[Paula]

Nope, not much release but it was a start. I think I described my mind as ‘swirly’ at one point

Yeah I’m resting - and eating dark chocolate ....

[Paula]

Not a good day. I did meet up with a friend for coffee but I’ve generally been super tense and nauseous. And a bit tearful. If one more person says ‘you’re doing the right thing’ ....... I’m going to scream
