Every time I begin to lose my head
Every time I think I am going to crack up
Everytime I think I can't stand being in my own head
Or my own body
I stop
Deep breathes
Gather my thoughts
And say this prayer
It gives me a couple of seconds to regroup
To collect my thoughts
And remind myself of these words
I don't know where I would be without my supports
My family
My friends
My meetings
My higher power
My dogs
Mary
My doctor
Breda
You lovely ladies
It's a collective effort
Everyone does their bit to help
I know that I can't do this alone
What helps you get through the day?
My main thing that gets me through the day varies on where I am in my life.
ReplyDeleteNow it's my work. The two classes I have with George on a weekend keep me going the rest of the week. I plan them, I look forward to them, and getting through the week, my reward at the end is to teach.
There are so many other little things that I have to remind myself of when it gets tough though.
My cats, my dog, they don't live with me here in my flat, but I live to see them again when I go back to my mothers house.
The support from my friends, both in real life and on here.
My family, who I miss so much.
My little bouts of alone time where I disconnect from the world.
It's silly but tv shows help me too. I think to myself that I HAVE to know what happens next, so I have to make it to the next episode next week XD
I joke about cups of tea getting me through the day too, but it's pretty true actually.
You are right it is a collective effort, and it's all about the little things, remembering the simple things that make our life a little brighter.
Take care my dear, I hope you are feeling well
*hugs*

OMG!!
DeleteTea gets me through the day too
I drink copious amounts of it
I make a cup like every half an hour
So I am with you there Mandy
Thank you for your continued support my dear
It means so much
I am doing better
Feeling brighter every day.
Love x
I do that too Shelby
ReplyDeleteI'm a terror for buying clothes on line
I just love getting a package delivered to my door
It's like Christmas all over again!
But you are right
Sometimes it's not enough
Sometimes we lose the head anyway
I know I do..... X
The utter, absolute faith that there is something else in the future, a place where I fit in and thrive. That is what keeps me going, that one day it'll all be good.
ReplyDeleteI get that CP
DeleteI have blind faith too
That there is more for me
And as you say
A place we can fit in
Nothing but love for ya x
