You know how every now and then I get down? Well today...

aliasojo

You speak for yourself, I am not doing all right.

Son has just sent a tex saying he's in bits too, it's just hit him that we are actually not going to be around.

This is the same 15 year old testosterone fuelled little swine of yester years, remember him? We've been through a lot. It just doesn't feel right to be leaving the area and therefore leaving him. My varnishing is over for the day, I can't even see properly now.

OH is on his way up but wont be here for hours yet.

No, no, no, you ARE doing all right. You're in bits, you can't see straight any more, he's in bits too (mine doesn't do bits, so I'm safe from a text like that I think!) but you ARE doing all right. How you are is absolutely all right for how things are.

Just say it a few times. Then howl all over DH when he arrives. And pass the tissues when you're done.

Just thought I'd let you all know, I am at peace now. Alcohol has been consumed (purely for medicinal purposes you understand) and feelings of mellowness (is that a word?) surround me. We each do what we need to do to get by. My attempt at 'getting by' appears to be working. I am no longer sad.......just p!ssed. :rotfl:

Thank you all for replying to me today. We are all faceless strangers to each other but you took the time to post a few words and made me feel less alone in my misery.

I will deny those gushy thoughts tomorrow.

Quotes so you can't deny

Did you have any chocolate as well

Tomorrow is another day, another house, you will get by!

*goes off singing, with a little help from my friends*

I'm not going to justify this too much, but I would say that everything you felt yesterday shows that things are moving in the right direction. You are not doing this to move away from something but to move towards something.

Mrs Shadow and I have moved twice in recent years. First time was to move away from job, locale and urban situation. We knew that the next place would be temporary, which it was for a couple of years, because we knew that we would do better to move towards something. Which we did.

Now, the first time we moved, it was pure relief when we drove away. The second time, which was leaving the temporary place, was quite sad, although we knew that where we were going was what we wanted.

I think if you are feeling sad when you leave, you will be taking away happy memories.

That's a great way to look at the situation. :T

You are not faceless! to me, you look like your avatar! (Actually, I wish I was joking but I mostly recognise posters from their avatar, rather than their username. Can be confusing at times lol)

I really respect you, aliasojo but I think if this goes on you need to chat with your GP.

Alcohol will only magnify these feelings, not make them better - in the long term.

Lots of hugs and love (from someone who likes a drink herself!!) x

eta glad you're feeling better now.
