Best Friends Club

Re: Best Friends Club

There is just no way I would have been able to be a sparky @rav3n
I can definitely answer your questions but I am doing a few things at the same time so I will answer on the garden thread later and tag you
Any chance you could snap a pic of the unalived plants, could be the pot its in…
Daisy’s are pretty hardy? depends on what kind of garden you want anyway, I can answer all that a little later

Yeah Mrs Ad works, she works in community health it’s kinda hard to explain but supports the community in leading health initiatives and education, qualified teacher but is waiting until the kids are a bit older cause her job is a lot more flexible now while we have little kids @rav3n

Re: Best Friends Club

@rav3n  I sat down for too long and the Sandman walked in and slapped me on the face. HARD

Shallow breathing because I wasn’t moving.

Time to get moving, up a ladder 🪜

@Shaz51 Shazzy what’s shaking?

Re: Best Friends Club

Hey @tyme @Oaktree @Shaz51 @rav3n @Glisten !

 

My lunch date ended up upgrading to a dinner and bachata dance social date. It was a last minute decision, lots of fun. It's the first time I've been to this event, and the dancers were surprisingly willing to welcome and dance with newcomers. It was very enjoyable!

 

At work, I had a tight deadline with two days' turnaround early last week, so I was pushing myself to get it done. It left me a bit exhausted later in the week, so I took it a bit easier then. I gave myself the weekend off so that I could recharge and enjoy myself. Scheduling in 'recovery time', along with my new medication, seems to be helping my mood, I've been continuing to feel kinder to myself and more optimistic. It's been really good.

Re: Best Friends Club

Love it @Spirit_Healer .

 

I need to learn from you.

 

I've got a deadline for tomorrow so I need to get things going. It's okay. I know I can only do what I can do.

 

Have a great week! The dance and dinner sounded great!

Re: Best Friends Club

@MJG017 , hi 👋 

I haven't been very present here so I'm sorry. 

Kids, work, aging parents have kept me busier than usual these past few weeks.

 

I wanted to say I understand exactly how you feel. It is hard to constantly show up for those we care about but don't show the same compassion and kindness back. I've learnt with my sister things will always be one sided. I also learnt that it is not something I can control and that no matter how much I try and how much i love her, her capacity for love, compassion and even knowing me is not there. I still gave empathy but with boundaries.  And I think this is you too. You have empathy for what your family is going through and you don't wish them harm but you need to look after your mental health. This means you won't always be there like it is expected. 

I'm sorry,  I know how painful this is. For me what has really helped is EMDR. I had a session with my psychologist last Friday and it is impactful how much I have changed in how feel.

I hope overtime you make peace with this situation.  Again,  you deserve to have your family care about your well-being.  Them not doing this is not your doing.

 

Always here even if I have to step away from the forum at times.

 

🥰🫂
