Keep putting off a visit to the hairdressers just for a cut, I will get there one day. ALso the opticians for a routine eye test. Just never feel like it. Will get there one day. Just hate making appointments, now if I could just walk in when I feel like it ...

Thanks Candyred , I think this was on facebook a while ago, it makes us realise we are only human after all. I must re-read this on the mornings when feeling like I do today. Your daughter is so thoughtful x

[Burbagegran]

That is quite lovely, Candyred, I'm not a fan of those inspirational platitudes that are all the rage. This is different and captures how we all feel some days so well. Thank you for sharing it with us all and thanks to your daughter too. xx

[yorkshireterriers]

This is so beautiful I had the same reaction as you. Thanks for sharing. Do you know who wrote it ?

Cheers.

[Candyred in reply to yorkshireterriers]

I haven’t got a clue .. xx

[SquirrelsHolt]

Oh my!!!😢😥😪..that is SO VERY TRUE! May I ask you Candyred ,how old is your daughter as for her to find such a fantastic,real piece of literature,she certainly has the understanding of a young woman. I simply love that piece of prose...do you know who wrote it? So true,hard hitting but totally accurate! Well done to your daughter.

[Candyred in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

I totally agree with you .. sadly I haven’t a clue who wrote it .. someone did say they saw it on Facebook .. my daughter is 26 and suffers from IIH .. idiopathic intercranial hypertension .. so she knows exactly what we go through on a daily basis .. I love the words .. xx

[RainbirdRoots in reply to Candyred]

Hello! It’s me, I’m the author of this poem I’m so glad it’s made it’s way into your life. I wrote it about my own struggles with anxiety and how important allowing myself permission has been. You can see more on my website rainbirdroots.com

I’ve also got a Facebook page and instagram account. I’m actually an artist and just jotted this poem down in my car at the end of January, had absolutely no idea the effect it would have on people! Thanks so much xxxx

[Candyred in reply to RainbirdRoots]

Hello! And thank you writing this .. the wording and feeling that you write with has touched so many of us on here .. we thank you ❤️

[RainbirdRoots in reply to Candyred]

You are so welcome xz

[Silver252]

Lovely words and so true, I had a really bad day yesterday, in addition to my chest problem I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and fibromyalgia and high blood pressure and under active thyroid, Asthma and lung damage from pulmonary embolisms. Yesterday it was all too much. But today is brighter must just take one day at a time xx
