Share a cuppa?

Re: Share a cuppa?

Thank you for the chat too, it's been lovely! Have a restful sleep tonight 🙂 @Captain24 

 

Hoping for some sun to come out for you tomorrow! @ArraDreaming 

Re: Share a cuppa?

It does different things for different people, and at different times. Support is never perfect, and I remember an Anglican priest saying to me once "If you listen to your pain, it can sometimes tell you how to give yourself the support you need, and that's better than the support of others.".
I don't advise that for everyone, but it's worked for me.

Sometimes we try to change emotional pain we feel because we associate it with something bad when it's actually an inevitable consequence...and I've been suicidal thousands of times because of my complex trauma that I got put through by the people who branded me a sex offender for years. That's left me with psychological scars that nobody's going to be able to give me really effective support for. I've learnt to accept that we're all judgemental, and the two things we're all always going to fail at are nonjudgementalism and unconditional love, I've also learnt to accept there are people I hate. Once you can accept those feelings, you can use them to benefit yourself. That isn't advice for everyone, and some people will object. I say alright object, I won't change your mind, and you won't change mine either.

Please stop saying you're not very creative, we're more creative than we think we are. It's also the case that when we have to be strong, we find out we're stronger than we think.

I tried to book a doctors appointment and there was nothing for today I hope they can get me i just feel so sick 

Re: Share a cuppa?

You might be able to book a home visit on one of the doctor home visit apps if you can access that, otherwise keep warm, rest up, eat well, and drink plenty water because that helps flush out physical infections. Also if you've got a chest infection, unless you have a chronic lung condition, you may like to try one or deep breathes of a vaporiser, and gargling with salt water, or lemon or lime juice. I also have a steam air infuser I find useful at these times, @ArraDreaming. Keep trying for a doctor, but some of those suggestion may help in the meantime. Get well soon @ArraDreaming, and let your family look after you today, you've earnt the rest.
