3R's Path of Recovery

[Three Roses]

 That's a beautiful story dr

These last few years, life has been a struggle. Some days my biggest accomplishment has been getting out of bed, or eating a meal. The daunting task of just surviving honestly felt at times it was just too much of a struggle, and not really worth the hassle. But recently I've been feeling better, and I'm glad I pushed through. I'm happier, stronger, more compassionate.

I just read your Journal entry for 16th December, Three Roses, and it's so great to see you're feeling stronger -

I guess I've been in a sort of relapse. My moods are dark and angry. Not at anyone but myself. It's been hard to make coherent sentences in speaking and writing. I want to run from everything familiar and go somewhere I'm not known and make a fresh start. I'm shaky and have no energy. I can't concentrate on books or movies, I start them and leave them half finished. I can't even cook  or do dishes without feeling bitter, resentful, and bordering on violent.

I'm doing my best to keep this all internal so I don't hurt anyone's feelings. I know, really know, I need to continue with some sort of therapy even if it's not the type I think is best for me.

Can't wait for some sun and spring time weather.

I am sorry to read you are going through a relapse. It sounds awful!
I don't have many words, but my thoughts goes out to you

  a wise friend once told me something, and i'm going to pass it along to you.

wrap your arms around yourself and pretend it's a warm, loving hug from me. 

i hope you find what you need soon.  thanks for sharing.  i'd love to bring you tea and comfort on the healing porch if you're so inclined, and a blanket full of sunshine and daffodils.

Thank you for sharing, Three Roses. I am sorry things have been so hard, but often it is out of those times that we get some of the best insight and healing. I do really wish I could take some of it from you, to give you some much needed comfort. Sending a lot of healing and love your way my dear

No need to wait--look within your heart. See it helping you discover the sun and spring right now, in your deep soul.

How do I know you'll find that within? I see it on this forum frequently, in so many posts you make here. Now it's time to shed some of that light inward.

I'm sorry, 3Roses! Have some  and     and    

I know well the feeling of wanting to run and make a fresh start somewhere, tho I don't get it much any more. I hope that you continue to come here and allow us to support you! You give so much here, that I hope we can give you lots back when you're down.

Hi Three Roses,

I just wanted to give you a warm and gentle hug,  and say that I hope that you are ok - I know that you are facing a time of darker moods and finding it tougher - and I really hope that the Spring will come soon and brighten your life with the lovely flowers and in the meantime, that you know how much we all appreciate you - I think the month of January and February is often cold and wet and enhances darker moments somehow.

to you, Three Roses.

Hope
