Do what you need to do. Know that your friends will be there for you, to lend an ear or any other support you may need along the way. And know that your friends will be there for you when you're ready again, too. My thoughts are with you. Be well! *hugs*

Wow. That sounds scarily familiar, all of it and while I'm not happy that you're having to go through it, I am glad that you're realizing that there's a you and that you're worth taking care of. That's made a world of difference to me in the life I've led -since- the big crash (of '00 in my case).
It's been a hard lesson for me to learn, that a healer has to take care of themselves first. It's the oxygen mask analogy, if I don't affix my mask first, I'm not going to be any good to anybody else. Even though the impulse is always to rush around fixing everyone else's mask.
Anyway, I know this isn't an easy time and I just wanted you to know that I'm going to be thinking about you and sending good thoughts and positive juju your way.

It's important to do what's right for *you,* no matter what others think and feel. Your own well-being is so much more important than keeping everyone else happy.

i don't know why it's been such a hard lesson for me to learn. one might think i'd have figured this out a long time ago. it's just that it was easier to see helping others be happy than seeing it in myself. i wasn't able to connect those dots until just recently, and with the help of a friend.

i'll post from time to time, but the subjects will be pretty light for the most part. maybe we'll catch up with each other in Minnesota. :)

All the best. :)

thank you. :)

Lay as low as you like and take all the time you need. I'll still be here when you return. I hope you find yourself stronger, better and happier on the other side.

All the best. :)
