That is a great idea. It is so much better when you have things to do and something to keep your mind occupied. Something to look forward to each week.
Volunteering also helps you get to be around people and build relationships.
I hate to say it. But is probable best if you not babysit until you get this under control. You should not be feeling this way and try to deal with children. Take from someone with children who see the effect on them when I am depressed.
Have you ever been in long term treatment at a live in clinic? Where they can get see how you are feeling daily and maybe find a better plan at helping you?
Yesterday when I saw Dani’s April fools joke about Help closing up, I thought about the people I would miss. You are one of those people. We do not talk alot, but I do care about what is going on in your life.
I see you were just in a crisis center. One thing I have noticed about you is you are always fighting these suicidal feelings and thoughts. You have to be a strong person and have a strong drive to live. I know at times you have given up, but you always pull through. I hope in time you will be able to have a peaceful mind. Not have to constantly be having this mental battle.
Yea, I know what you mean. I was invited to a christmas party this year and even though I don’t really like parties I decided it would be good for me to go because it would gve me a chance to make friends.
Two of my children have birthday next week. I am planning a party for them. Calling the parents of their friends made me think of you. About how hard it is to talk to people we don’t know.
I got invited by one of the Mom to a Jewelry party. Where they sale jewelry. I do not wear jewelry and I looked at the prices and they were way out of my range, but I am thinking of still going. Just to meet more people. I am still undecided.
This year we did not visit with any family for Christmas which made it hard to feel like Christmas. But we still enjoyed it, it was just a little different then previous Holidays.
What did you do for Christmas? Did you spend time with family?
How are you doing? I had some new abuse memories a few days back. A different person. A guy my mom dated. I was out of sorts for a few days . I talked to my sister about it, the day I had the memories. Then I talked to my husband two days later and then I was back to feeling normal again.
I felt the sadness of them and then I released them. I ask myself ” why am I remembering and what am I to do with these new memories?” Then I figured it was because it was time for them to go. They needed to come up to the surface so that I let them float away.
I thought of you and how you have had to deal with memories. I hope you are able to let yours float away.
I think he is just having a hard time right now. I think he is going to be fine. He just needs to talk to release some stress. It seems he is finding it hard to talk because he is taking a long time to respond between replies.
I am going to see if lil bit shi will make a post for me. I always see her put things like that on there. I am not so good at stuff like that. But if I do figure it out, I will gladly tell you.
Thanks for the invite. I came out when I was 15 2 weeks after my 15th birthday when my mom sat me down and asked me if I was attracted to men or women.
