Re: Good Morning!

Can I ask you an uncomfortable question @TAB ? 

 

I'm going to ....you don't have to answer- um - I'm not weird or anything - 

 

Iv known this man for years and years. He's very caught up in Christianity its as if life has passed him by. He is 56 years old he's never been in a relationship.

 

He works very hard, lives at home still but he's been telling me he's lonely lately. 

What can I say to him.

Hi @Former-Member 

We're starting the mutual admiration club here. 

 

I feel impacted on your message. I'll need to think about it more. You write ; 

 

I tend to think - a fundamental human right, because we all have feelings, and so that in itself deserves to have worth and value and weight attached to it…our feelings are valuable and worthy.. I hope that makes sense? 🙂 🌺 🤗

 

.....................

Well we are all valuable and worthy aren't we ?! 

But we are vulnerable people,

 

iv certainly felt not worthy for extra help for years and years and years.

@PeppyPatti 🙂🌺

Well, I guess we are all valuable and have worth.. sometimes we get to feel it, and sometimes we don’t 🌺

 

Yep, lots of vulnerability exists, particularly in the realm of MH 💜🙂

 

Feeing like we aren’t worthy for support is hard.. sometimes I think that comes from the systems around us in society, care structures, family and relationship dynamics to name a few. 

I guess being granted worth and value is rare; finding it within is also very hard to do. 

We all have value and worth, I believe; but how we get to feel and express that is the challenge, I think 💜🌺

Re: Good Morning!

How're you going today? @Shaz51 🙂

Re: Good Morning!

Oh just lost a written message .....

 

I get it @creative_writer 

Iv definately been non functioning. 

 

Just because today you and I are walking ....we need to be mindful that  tomorrow may crumble around us. 

 

I wrote to @Former-Member - can't remember - 

That my state of mind in the past has not been good -

 

You know those plastic boxes with Sun to Mon you can get from chemists - they are not as good as the ones from chemists but they really help when things are tough around you. They can be bought cheaper on eBay or temu. 

And a cheap coffee machine. But I do admit a nice cuppa tea 🍵 is lovely ....

Re: Good Morning!

Oh, @TAB, that's a tough one, isn't it?

To have to change diet and lifestyle suddenly - will you have to make lots of changes?

Re: Good Morning!

short answer, yes @lavenderhaze 

Re: Good Morning!

Oh no @TAB, I wish they made some magic pills like you said!

Eating healthy is tough when the unhealthy food tastes so good hey 😂
