How are you doing? stick to what you need for yourself, you know that you have bent over backwards to satisfy their needs and wants, it's perfectly acceptable to say no sometimes, like sober said, just trying to make you the permanent go to. me i'm very fatigued, was up half the night with shivering chills then half hour later night sweats over and over all night, add in constant headache and aches all over, just another day i guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sh*t. I'm hoping this is because your body is fighting off the virus and that once it has, it's gone for good If it continues, consult your doc? Maybe consult them anyway (?) We need all the peace of mind we can muster 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you love the cat because you love animals like I do but I'm sure they are trying to take advantage of that fact and make you the full time babysitter. Family like to try to use me like that too. Of course I do. But my recovery needs to be my priority. I'm no good to anyone like a zombie 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best friends here in the country are cows, horses and deer and it will be that way until the end. I can only aspire to that. I don't know if the real estate bubble will ever deflate enough for me to be able to buy a place, but one can hope. These prices can't stay unaffordable by almost anyone forever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handon Frypan Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 It's still fairly cold here. Maybe mid-60's fahrenheit, and sometimes windy. I finally got my heater to work, though, and while I woke up to chills, I have done pretty well the rest of the day. Everything seems orginized better as far as what I have to do over the next few days, too. I'm in a much better frame of mind than earlier today. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duck Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) I have been feeling overwhelmed this past week. I have too many medical appointments such as optometrist, dental, gp. I did not post all week? Oh dear!

Extremebeginner Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 23 hours ago, Nightjar said: Well, narc sis struck again last night. I had a whole load of abuse out of nowhere by text. I was so angry after all of the support I have given her for her long list of dramas. She launched a complete character assassination because I declined to have her cat overnight (I have issues with sleep and her cat would wake me early so said no, sorry). I woke up with tears in my eyes this morning. Any understanding or support I felt I had from her has been ripped away with all of the things she said and the way she put me down. It brought back some horrible memories of previous attacks by her where she would fly into vindictive outbursts. I blocked her and we're done for the foreseeable future. Delete her text and rise above it. You have your escape plan, stick with it and move on. Family can be too much for many so be the better person, don’t engage and do your thing. It’s hard….

Forgive me if you've already mentioned it here.... If so, did you manage to break away and get your life back? I'm gonna be totally alone for a while at least after my escape... I'm trying to come to terms with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to come to terms with that. We both can do it. What we're doing now is like living our life with a bunch of bees flying around stinging us all the time. I mean isn't it really like that? What do they do? They worry me more. They make me think things are worse than they are. They say you could have done better than that. They remind me of things I should have been doing also no matter what I already did. They're just bees like today when I mow the yard. Do I need them stinging me the whole time on top of everything else? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, none of this will have mattered down the line, especially when the sun finally burns out in some billions of years. i dont think i have any left 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one in another tree too. I'm sure they talk on the phone all the time and keep to the same schedule. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
