Hi Chloe,

Thank you. How are you feeling, most importantly?

I lost a family member so it feels like everything takes more effort currently. I know it takes time.

I hope you are recovering.

Sending you a hug <3

Hi Nathalie,

Today is a good day health wise so getting stronger each day.

I really am sad for you, you seem to have had a number of losses in recent years, I do hope you are having lots of self-care, we all need it during these times ❤️

I am relieved you are doing better, Chloe. Getting stronger each day, well done, you are a fighter <3

Thank you, losses of people and other type of loss add up.

We are here for you whether you would like to talk or just cheer each other up xx

I’ve taken a dip. Can’t seem to pull myself out of it. If I had my way I’d stay in bed & pull the covers over my head.

It’s strange how you can be going along quite nicely then wham it’s like being hit with a sledge hammer. I know the reason why. My late daughters friend, who has always kept in touch, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of bowel cancer, it’s spread. So so sad

It’s brought my daughters death to the forefront, not that it’s very far away. & I miss my sister so much at times like this

I shall leave on a high note I’m trying really hard not to let myself slip too far down. So today I’ve organised a long walk & then a lunch for people I live with in the village. It’s one of many that I’ve managed to put together. The women are so appreciative. Many are on there own now. So it’s uplifting to see how happy it makes them. Long hard day hopefully it’ll help me sleep. The nightmares are back with vengeance

Good to have you back Chloe. Look after yourself xx

We are in the process of looking for another place to live and it is extremely infuriating as well as frustrating!

Tuesday I became extremely infuriated after a viewing appointment got cancelled at short notice!

I lost my job a couple of weeks ago which has been hard to come to terms with but sadly these things happen.

I am enjoying going swimming a couple of times a week though

I have had some job interviews though since that happened but nothing just yet and have some more next week.

My friends tell me to go easy on myself as it's early days since that happened and how it takes time to come to terms with something like that and how I shouldn't blame myself for something that was beyond my control like their nasty attitudes towards me.

HI Hidden

Really sorry to read that you have lost your job, I know how hard it was finding it.

Moving is a stressful experience at the best of times, I hope it goes well for you<3

Part of me is relieved I lost that job as I wasn't happy there but still I was disappointed though it didn't work out.

hi Chloe a warm welcome back not just to the forum but hopefully to better health also.

Hi Chloe. So good to see you back on the forum. I hope you're continuing to feel better, despite the cold and gloomy weather.

I've had some sad times this year. I lost my mum in February, then my brother was diagnosed with terminal cancer in August and died a month later. I'm up and down most days, feeling very tired recently with these dark evenings. I've got some good friends living nearby which really helps me keep going! How are you doing?
