💜💐💕 @Sans911 ..... there you are ❣️

How are are you doing ?

So good to 'see' you @Sans911 💚💙🧡💛💜

Here but I'm not very good mentally or physically. And I let people down too. That was definitely NOT my intention so it seems I chewed from the same bone. I never miss my local Anzac dawn service, yet I did. Feeling like an ungrateful lil shite right now.

Hearing you @Sans911 , but please, please go gently on yourself.  

We can only manage what we can manage at any given time, and you matter ..... what is happening for you matters .....

💜😔

So glad to see you.

You haven't let anyone down @Sans911 You were super hurting and couldn't cope with it. It really is just good to see you Hon - we were all worried about you because we knew how bad you were feeling - but you are here now and in whatever state that is we are still here for you and with you. Time to lean on us and help you get through this and that is all you can do right now - get through as best you can. 💐💕

SO relieved to see you posting again @Sans911 

Marking the Anzac memorial is in your heart for this year. 

We cant always do everything the same and it certainly is not letting anyone down. Please dont beat yourself up over it.  I have never been to a dawn service, but take Anzac and surrounding issues seriously in other ways .. and on other days ... doing concerts etc whatever seems appropriate. My brother had to get to Gallipoli ... I dont.

Be kind to you.

Hugs Bella

I'm here, in a fashion. I don't feel very good, so hopefully I will be in bed soon and tomorrow is a different day.

I'm sorry if I rejected your help just before this event. Even though all of you showed true empathy wonderful support & encouragement, my brain didn't see that. But everything you did was acknowledged and I'm always grateful. Beyond grateful. Hugs to you all, and need some back please.. Gently though. I hurt almost everywhere.

I saw my psychologist today--it was prearranged prior to this event. With the level of shame I'm feeling I almost cancelled my appt. She was concerned about what happened and has encouraged me to contact her before I do anything. I'm still struggling with that one.

My assignment is really behind so I have to get cracking to get it done or get an extension.

Aa much as I can I've been following along with your lives.
