Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

Life goes on here and I too like the lighter evenings. I'm very worried about my dad's health, he has some kind of heart or possibly lung problem that they haven't been able to diagnose yet and has recently had a full day of tests at the hospital.

My friend with various MH problems has a lot on their plate at the moment, imminent homelessness being the most pressing problem. I'm doing what I can to help but being over 100 miles away it's not easy. There does seem to be a lot of disjointedness in the public sector (local government in this case) in dealing with it though.

Elsien, I hope that all goes well with on the job front and that you get your day by the sea with Gitdog.

Ono, I hope your dad's health improves and that your friend gets the housing, and other, issues sorted. You may feel like there's not much that you can do but I'm sure you're helping more than you realise and that she appreciates it.

I'm mostly okay and I'm sure that the lighter evenings will cheer me up.

I hope everyone has a good long weekend (mine's a bit chopped up as I'm doing overtime on Sunday) and gets as much rest/excitement as they need.

Shame, was turned down for one job after interview and one before the annoying thing there was before I started university I always got a job despite being unqualified so im in the rut of being out of work for years but then employers refusing to hire me.


Annoyingly on top was when I was going through a bad patch 6 years ago with panic attacks after the identity fraud happened to me and I lost my life savings I was all but offered a job twice in a few months but was in that terrible place if I hadn't been so anxious I may of been working for years at this point.

I'm still here but little has changed. I feel like I'm existing in a daze most of the time. It's so hard and I'm exhausted.

There's a bus strike so getting out is hard at times

Ono sorry your dad is I'll.

The daze will go on for a while, Torry.
Yes, you will 'just exist'.
It's very early days still. Very early.

Just do whatever you feel you need to do. If you feel you need to sleep in the daytime, do that. If you want to eat at a weird time, do that.
Give in to the tiredness.... don't push yourself to do stuff because 'you feel you ought to'.
That exhaustion is telling you to not to try too hard. If you want to curl up on the sofa and stare at the carpet, do that.

You will gradually regain your strength, but it will be very gradual.
After all, if your body had just lost a limb, it would need a lot of time to recover and adapt to not having that limb; similarly, your mind has 'lost a limb' so it needs just as much time to heal and adapt. :A

Thanks, you make sense. I swing from wanting to be home and having to get out. Often find myself eating in the middle of the night. I do say to people I feel like I've lost an arm.

Hi guys, wishing you all a happy Easter.Tory, I am so sorry to read about your loss, thinking of you x

Hello, everyone. Sorry I've been MIA for a few days - I'm not sure why!

Torry, special hugs to you as holidays are often a difficult time. Try to take part in local social things as this will at least get you out of the house. And remember that your soul mate's soul is now merged with your soul. I saw a wonderful quote when Stephen Hawking died about how when you die you become atoms and merge with other things. Of course I couldn't find it again (I will keep looking) but I did find this. I hope you find it helpful. (I've replaced apostrophes with a space, because of the forum glitch.)

I died but did not leave you.
I am here, and have not gone.
Though my spirit left my body
don t be sad, for I live on.

My love is all around you.
Can you feel it? Can you see?
That gentle breeze upon your face
is not the wind;but me.

I m the song of a bluebird
when spring is in the air.
I m the roses in a garden.
You can find me everywhere.

Whenever you are missing me
look up to heaven s skies.
I m the twinkle in the stars.
I m the sunset, and sunrise.

I m a raindrop and a rainbow.
I m the ocean s waves of blue;
So everywhere you go you ll know,
I live on, loving you.
