Hoping that today is a better day for you today @Captain24 💕

Today is a new day! @tyme @Bow @Shaz51 

I will start again. At the moment I feel really good. I have hope and feel like I’m moving forward. 

Last night was another bump in the road but I feel that it has helped me to see the strength that I am building through this journey. I am pretty sore and that is a negative reminder but hopefully it will make me think twice next time. 

I have light ahead and I will make it through. Just hoping that the bumps become smaller and less often. I know understand that they will still happen but I can see that I just need to put it behind me and keep trying to move forward. 

My focus is on today here and now. Not worry about later. 

At the moment I’m happy to be alive!

Thanks for your support

Glad that today is a better day @Captain24

Thanks @Bow . Hope you are doing ok? 

Feeling a little bit lonely right now and that no one cares. I’ve had a few phone calls about how awesome the family gathering was last night. It’s not their fault as they don’t know the struggle I’m going through right now. There was cousins there that I haven’t seen in years.

Oh that’s rough @Captain24  missing out on the family gathering and being told how good it was. 
i struggle with loneliness too. 

im ok. Done the lawns, done my hair- not completely happy with it though! And have done as much packing as I can.

Hey @tyme hope you’ve had a good day so far?!

[Captain24]

HI @tyme 

My mornings are what is keeping me going. They are usually good but I’m tired of my afternoons and evenings being crap. Nothing has happened really it’s just a daily struggle and I hate it. I really can’t keep surviving like this. I can’t keep fighting every single night. 

My diamond dot is nearly done. It’s the only thing that I do at the moment. 

Im sorry I just don’t know what is wrong with me or how to fix it. 

[Captain24]

I’m glad you are ok @Bow .

It feels good to get the lawns done. Mine takes 2.5hrs though. 

Im sure your hair is fine but just think no one is going to know you anyway for a few weeks anyway! I always find packing for a big trip daunting and put it off to the last minute, so it’s good that you have done as much as you can
