Thread: Sunshine after the rain

    Wow sweetheart, what an achievement!! You have every right to be proud of yourself. You may have lost some of the old parts of you due to illness, but because of the illness you'll have found new parts of you with incredible inner strength and confidence to deal with everything that each day brings. This is the ironic part of our illness. We come out the other side different people with different views on life. If we can battle depression we can see our way through virtually anything! Well done you!

    I've had a lot of flashbacks, I want to swim them away but cant. 1st world problem, I know.
    I'm still in my dressing gown and have done nothing all day so I know I'm not helping myself either.
    Going to try pick up my crochet hook if I can.
    Hoping to climb a mountain tomorrow

    I read something in this post that made me sad. That is where you said 1st world problem. I feel you are bringing the value it has on you down and not just that but also yourself.

    I believe that its awesome that you have found something that can help you. And in so many ways. The way I have gotten to know you I would open up a whole pool just for you if I had that ability. First world problem? You are so kind to others. Never selfish and always give your best.

    The whole world is better with having you in it. I mean this.

    Couldn’t agree with Mira more
    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.

    I agree, he is right!

    Sweetheart, are certain things triggering the flashbacks or the time of year or something different?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Thanks Mira. You are always so kind.
    I've picked up my crochet hook so that is helping.
    I'm also going hiking tomorrow. We are climbing Slieve Donard. Lots of fresh air and exercise (legs will be killing me)
    I'm going with my daughter and my eldest son. It's a while since we hiked together..... lockdown is good for something.

    Exercise is so beneficial for the mind and fresh air is also very good for you - good for you for planning something so beneficial. Spending time with your daughter and son also sounds good.

    Don't feel too bad for not doing much today - when you are down even getting dressed can seem too overwhelming.

    Take care of yourself xx
