@Portufraise Holding a hope for you that things turn out well.
@Portufraise I feel like it's a relay team here. Somedays you can't post because your own life overwhelms you, but you can rest assured that someone here will be holding the space and providing empathy. We have to take care of ourselves, that is key (and something I need to remind myself about on a regular basis.)
Holding a thought for you with good wishes for the future.
@Portufraise Uff! Glad there was a light at the end of all that darkness! Glad to have you back, glad you have a plan.
@Portufraise I'm sorry to hear that you have been through an emotionally painful patch, and that you are emerging from it now. Thank you for modeling taking the time that you need. And it's good to have you back.
@Portufraise With the asynchronous nature of our connections today, sometimes I think someone has stopped communicating with me, but then - suddenly a very nice reply or email pops up. It’s easy to lose one’s bearings sometimes. And crying, I have discovered, is actually a good thing, because it’s physical, so you come out of it refreshed, and can start towards healing. I’m glad it turned out to be ok after that emotional dip! ☀️
@odd Maybe that's why I was seeing less entries than usual! You're right about crying. And thank you!
@macgenie Thank you so much. You take care of this community so well and so tirelessly, you deserve to take good care of yourself. I'm extremely touched by how supportive everyone has been.
@ohBananaJoe Thank you so much. I'll say it again, I'm very, very touched by the support and warmth you're showing.
@Portufraise I'm glad to hear you're doing better now 😊 Sometimes we're just not in an emotional state to be capable of the things we could usually do, and that's OK! There's no shame in that. But it's always great to be able to come out of that state at the other side, and we're glad to have you back!
@Portufraise I’m glad you’re better and smiling again! Sometimes you just need a break to refuel and come out the other side stronger.
@jayeless Thank you 😊😊 I need to tell myself that sometimes (that there's no shame in not being capable).
