Thread: Hello there

  1. #1

    Hello there

    Hello friends
    Well it has been a while It has been quite an eventful year. In March I started a relationship with a wonderful lady. We are so very happy together In May I bought a new house which we all love. Shortly after that, my step dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and in August he went into a nursing home. Sadly, he lost his battle on 13th October & the funeral was on Monday. It all feels surreal at the moment. Mum needs a lot of support, although she has a lot of friends too. I’m trying to pace myself (my partner helps me to do this too) Just trying to take each day as it comes. I’m still on my meds, especially grateful for the night time stuff to switch my brain off! I am seeing my counsellor once a month too, and still swim regularly.
    One day at a time ....😃

    Hey hunni! I've missed you! It's lovely to see you!

    I'm so sorry about your StepDad lovely... I hope the funeral went as well as it could do. Is once a month enough for the moment with your counsellor?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Hey sweetie, good to see you . I’m so sorry about your stepdad
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hello,
    I had a good morning but at lunchtime I reversed my car into a wall Thankfully I am insured but I have to pay the excess. I feel very shaken up tonight. I am seeing my counsellor on Monday at 5pm which is really good. I can always book another one for a fortnight's time, thanks Suzi for your advice. Tomorrow I will go for a swim which will help. My partner and Mum have been really good/understanding today and have pointed out that mistakes happen and I must not beat myself up.
    One day at a time ....😃

    Awww am sorry about the car but as long as you are not hurt that is the main thing. I'm glad you have had support aswell x
