@Summer Prevails glad you made it through that part. Ice cream has magical therapeutic powers. :). It also amazes me how the spoon seems to get to the bottom of the tub when I didn't think I had eaten that much! Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Be very gentle with yourself and do whatever helps to get through. I know there will be people here for you at any time, long after the sugar buzz goes. Keep in touch. <3
@kmakm you are the first person I heard refer to the idea of the "good patient". It rang bells for me. I spent a lot of energy and emotion being that person out of what I thought was the right thing to do - for them. To protect them. All it did was exhaust me physically, mentally and emotionally. So @Summer Prevails put yourself first. Look after yourself. Ask for what you need. I hope you have good supports around you. And thank you again for sharing your experience. <3
