(((Janedoe))) It's okay. Of course we would rather you stay because we really care about you, but it is understandable to need to take a step back. Remember the past few weeks when I had to take a step back? I just couldn't find a way to post and taking a step back really helped to focus on getting over the major bump in the road that I was facing. I hope that the time away helps you to focus on your needs and feel better as well. Please know you will always be welcomed back with open arms. Take care of yourself!!! (((hugs)))

(((Jane)))

I'm sorry things have got too much for you and that you are struggling so much. You will be greatly missed here. Look after yourself and come back whenever you feel ready.

((Jane)) I'm so sorry to see you go. You have been so very helpful to me in my crap. I'm sorry I haven't been able to return that help but I do think of you and hope you are doing ok. Please take care of yourself and come back if and when you can.

I've taken breaks before too. Sometimes we just have to do that. The important thing is that you take care of yourself first.

Janedoe,

I do hope you reconsider. Are you sure this is what you want? Your contributions here will be greatly missed.

i can't respond much right now... i hope to later. thank you so much everyone for your kind words. LG you are right. i do think i really want this more of as a "see you later" than a goodbye for good. i sort of need to go away to take care of me and can't be online for a little bit but i'll be back as soon as i can. you all are too kind. i will miss you all in the meantime.

Jane,

I’m sorry everything’s so hard right now. I really respect your decision to take some time away and take care of yourself. I can relate to a lot of what you said, and I completely understand feeling insecure and triggered about posting, and that those feelings are not because of anyone else here. I hope to see you again soon, Jane. And don’t worry about responding, I totally understand!

janedoe,
So sorry you aren't feeling well. I too understand the feelings that come up with posting. Please take good care of yourself.

hi – just wanted to say thanks all. we are back at trying tomorrow to help me get back on better track after the bad thing that happened in my life last week (offline - not on forum - it just got too hard to be here too on top of it and it's ok. it's just me handling my stuff.) i went to get help for what happened in my life offline, and it didn’t go well. the clinic my T sent me too took me to hospital and it wasn’t good experience… very bad… very triggering… and the hospital let me go within a couple hours… and no one really helped along the way… and i didn’t help me much… even my T got mad at the place i tried to get help from. thanks for the good wishes and understanding while i’m absentee here for a bit. i feel sad ‘cause i can’t really even read other threads and i am such a mess right now. but i’m keeping me safe. feels sad that it is a goal for me to keep me safe but it is a goal, and it is one i am accomplishing. i just want to do more of life than i am. it takes so much to fight this battle. i don’t like think i like februaries. they are very hard for me. take care everyone and hope to be back maybe in march. miss you all.
until later,
~ jane

(((Jane)))

I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience trying to get help. Please take care of yourself and know that we will be thinking of you while you are gone and will be here when you return. (((hugs)))

Janedoe,

I am sorry that you are dealing with this crisis in your personal life right now. I am sending you positive thoughts. Keep yourself safe and be kind to yourself.

It will get better (((JD))) - thinking of you. Talk with you soon.

well, I survived Feburary. Even with the last weekend being really tough dealing with my grandmother's memorial and a lot of family ick (and being thankful I live 1000 miles away from them.) My g-ma was terribly dear and the safest extended family member I had. I had to watch my aunt be a jerk to my mom and then help my mom leave ASAP. Neither of us were in a place to stand up to her once again.

I got to do something for the memorial that felt really wonderful to do... and helped me let go...

but now, I'm feeling awfully sad and in a funk, and very quiet. I get to see my T's today.

I might be just reading around here for awhile until I find words again.

Just wanted to say thank you to all for helping me take space and also jump into things here as I needed to get through the past 5-6 weeks or so.

~jd

(((((JANE))))

Glad you made it through.

Nice to have you around JD- I know you have been going through an awful lot lately, from what I have read here on the board- and I just want to say that I am glad you made it through February, and I pray you'll have a much better March. It's good to see you.

BB

((((((((JD))))))))) I'm sorry about your grandmother. You're welcome here, no matter what. Your words will return in time and we will be eagerly waiting.

JD, I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. ((((Hugs)))). I hope you get some good therapy today with your Ts. Its good to see you back, even if you will just be lurking for a while as you heal.

((((JD))))

I'm so sorry about your grandmother and that you had to deal with family pain on top of all of that. I am happy to hear you've made it through February and checked in here. Please continue to take care of yourself. I hope your T sessions go well.

Liese, BB, Yaku, LG, STRM ~
thank you all so much for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers...

I feel like I have been hit by a truck.

I mixed up the appointment times for my regular T, but we were able to talk on the phone. Then I got to go see my eq T. It went well. I felt a lot better and much more settled. Then a couple hours after, I think I had like a seperation anxiety attack.

I called my regular T, and just told her what was going on. I didn't ask for a call back, but she called me anyhow. I think she just knew I needed one. She told me that handling the family mess over the weekend in addition to my grandmother's passing, was big. She said I handled it well, and it makes sense now that it is catching up with me. I want to cancel everything with my Ts just to not feel this, but I also want a better way, and told her that. She was really ok with that and tried to reassure me. My T checked on me again briefly a few hours later. It was hard to take in. I'm so shakey and tired today. drained. needing. ugh.
