Hi Cath62,
very interesting isn’t it! I found some family comments the most frustrating., like you will be right, oh I’m sorry.
Everyone is so different as to what they want or need to hear. I needed fighting words, positive and encouraging words.
I chose one particular friend , I spoke to her and asked if she would assist me in keeping me on track when I needed her, someone I could talk about my darkest thoughts, as I knew when I was at my worst I knew that she would pull me out of it, and kick me up the bum to get on with it again with all the encouragement that I needed, she use to send me phrases all the time which were very uplifting. She was my best tool in getting through this shit.
Unfortunately some people just don’t get it, and don’t know what to say.
Thats where this amazing forum comes into play, as we get you, we know how you are feeling, we know the thoughts you get, we know that there are good and bad days.
So lean on us, that’s what we are all here for as it’s a new door that you are walking through.
No one gets it better than we do.
You can send me a private pm anytime.
You Have Got This!
