Am Not Coping

[CheerBear]

Reading your post has been a highlight of my day. Go you @Zoe7, in so many ways ❤

[Zoe7]

awww thanks @CheerBear I know there are so many doing it so tough and if a little of the light I am feeling can rub off on any of you then that is a good thing

Just a quick fly by @Zoe7. I have guests for tea (family) and haven’t got food yet :face_with_rolling_eyes:. Still cleaning my house first 🤦‍♀️😬.

but wanted to shout from the rooftops

One of my faves.

Glad to hear how well you've been doing @Zoe7 🙂

[Zoe7]

Thanks @TheVorticon How are you doing?

Pretty ordinary today @Zoe7
I made a thread about it.

I'll take a look @TheVorticon

@Zoe7 You really come a very long way this year. I remember it well as it resembled mine in some ways. You were scrabbling to hang on in long, and we're so physically unwell. I was really scared and concerned about you.

Push on though is what you did. Lots of bumps in the road for you and me. Trying to find reasons to carry on with so much adversity in the way. We got glimmers of light every now and then, which seemed to be puffed out faster than they arrived.

I've found strengths in your strengths, light in your light, hope in your hope. I thought to myself, she's trying really hard to pull through this, and with everything she's been through, she keeps trying. So why shouldn't I? And so I did.

My recovery is later than yours, but I believe now it's maybe possible. For the first time in many years I am starting to feel like myself a little bit more. Some things in me have forever changed, but that's OK.

I'm so proud of you right now, and proud of myself. You rock sister!! Hugs

@Faith-and-Hope must be beaming with pride right now. She has been your steadfast light as you have been mine.

You have inspired me along the way too @Sans911 I have been pleasantly amazed at all the work you have done with your volunteering work and even when seemingly knocked down with lack of attendance or personality clashes along the way you have stuck steadfast to your resolve as your intentions are pure and real. I have loved seeing your journey with your volunteer work and how much you have put into helping others - just as you have done on here.

I think youo are further along your journey than even you realise and that is wonderful to see.

I feel privileged to be such a guiding light in your journey - if just a small part of how far I have come helps then I am so happy about that.

I can say that I know how far I have come and yes I am proud of what I have achieved - we all know it hasn't been easy (and I was worried for myself for a long time) but getting through that somehow is an achievement in itself. I know it takes both strength and courage to get through all this but it also takes amazing support - and that is what I have had here @Sans911 - and you have been so much part of that - take inspiration in the community as I do every day - such a wonderful group of people that I am honoured to know 

ps: I am sure our @Faith-and-Hope wiuld be beaming with pride right now too - she has definitely been my guiding light over the last couple of years. I know we have a special connection and she has been with me and heled me in so many ways but there have also been so many others that have helped me in my journey and they are just as important to recognise - too many people to tag though - that really is the power of this community
