Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

@Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @utopia @Former-Member and everyone else (sorry can't remember this morning)...
I did sleep again but a not a good night - woke up a few times - no Toby, no distractions - really shaken this morning- not sure what I'll do today. Will check in later 😔

Re: Am Not Coping

Can you manage to buy something snuggly @Zoe7 ..... a fluffy scarf or something that is tactile and comforting ?

Hugs Hon ..... 💐💚💕

Re: Am Not Coping

Good idea @Faith-and-Hope I need to get up and have a shower to hopefully feel a little better then try to get out of the room. Will keep you posted. 💕

Re: Am Not Coping

Hi @Zoe7

 

I take it you are on holidays - and have a little trouble getting out of your room

 

Yeah - I know that one - getting dressed is always the hard part - I have that problem where ever I go so I am thinking of you

 

Imagine a short walk - you can think about staying out longer when you get out into the fresh air and breathe it in and out - breathing is the most important thing

 

I think you are in Sydney - let me know how that goes - I am interested - it's been a life time since I went to Sydney - I have a lot of catching up to do

 

So after that shower and getting dressed take short walks - that's what I do - I walk all over the place and sometimes get lost but I can always get a taxi back

 

All the best today

@Zoe7. A Cheap shop will have super soft cuddly toys - you may find a dog soft toy to snuggle.

Sounds good @Owlunar, walking 👣👣👣 really must do it more, with dog 🐾

@Zoe7, why do you feel shaken? How long are you away for? Have you taken the ferry from Darling Harbour up the river to Parramatta? I really enjoyed that. Or a long walk at Centennial Gardens and Museums or catch a train up to Katoomba, see the 3sisters and have an icecream. There's the Powerhouse Museum, Japanese Gardens, Underwater Aquarium, Taronga Zoo, Central Railway station or iMax theatre... Do make the most of it - live! Hope the weather is good for you

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, and everyone. Hope you have a good day today. I'm kicking myself for losing my backup Car Key's Tuesday grr - looked everywhere. Have this car sitting in the driveway, rego due but can't use it, gotta laugh. Got nervous putting the bin out for garbage night last night and had to go through it all (yuk). Theyll turn up (but the first lot 18/13 ago havent yet), must have a good tidy, there somewhere, here - gotta be (scratching head).
I'm listening to a Butcher Bird singing a beautiful song outside my back door, wonder if its the same one who swooped and pinched dogs chicken neck yesterday? when I threw it on the grass for dog (he's getting old) - perhaps bird wants more grr 😏 No, cant complain really, all things considered (the bigger picture), I'm so thankful I have tall trees around and so many birds, here in the hills, love it 🌲🌳🐤🐦

Re: Am Not Coping

I have managed to get out - gone to the market for a wander and some fresh produce to eat a little. Going to head back to hotel and see if I can go out again this afternoon - maybe to the Rocks for another wander. Fingers crossed for me everyone - I'm not doing great but I am trying to push through.

Re: Am Not Coping

Well done @Zoe7 .... ❣️

Proud of you ....,:: 💐💜

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope I've made it to the water - going to channel you for a bit Hon (if that is ok) and just walk and breathe💕
