Short Sads
Hey everyone!
I reckon we are so good at supporting each other and this section of the forum is an absolute testament to that. A place where a lot of people reach out for help for the very first time ever and it's pretty awesome to see how great you all are at supporting people through that.
Life isn't just full of big new tough things though. Things don't just get better as soon as we start out on our path to recovery, it's called a path for a reason, there's many steps! And sometimes we can stumble a bit and you know what, that's okay :).
A couple of weeks ago I made a thread to celebrate our achievements together. And @tsnyder made an awesome one for us to talk about the new things we're exploring in the world too!
This thread is kind of like the dark side of those threads - but it has a silver lining!
This is a place to let us know about something tough that you're going through and -this is the important bit- for us to support each other through those tough bits, to remember how to turn negatives into positives and to work on finding solutions together.
If you're feeling like you're stumbling a little or like you might fall, i want you to come here to let us know about it and to draw on the AMAZING support you folks give each other.
So post here with the smallest fear or what feels like the greatest failure and we will support you with everything we've got!
It'll probably look like this:
@FootyFan26 loneliness can be really painful huh.. Is it helping being on the forums at all? You're such a great person, I really want to remind you you're incredibly valued and though you feel lonely you're not alone - feel free to start a thread on RO if it helps at all, sometimes things get lost in short sads you may get some more peer support 🙂
@j95 yeah that sounds super frustrating.. Especially as it is totally out of your control, you're such a good big bro. As they get older do you get easier access to them?
I am logging off now guys, will chat to you on the forums tomorrow night after the day crew, remember your supports if you need them.
Hey @FootyFan26 I hear you on the thread front that's okay.. How are you feeling now?
@j95 how was yoga? what's going on for you?
Hmm @FootyFan26 well we are all here for a yarn if you do want to chat about what's been going on for you lately. Thinking of you tonight.
@j95 oh that's pretty uncool, I hope you are okay - did you confront the person? Did your yoga crew do the little meditation at the end?
Hey @FootyFan26 sorry to hear you're feeling down, anything you wanted to talk about?
@j95 when are you next seeing the kids? Must be a bummer missing them huh.. I bet they miss you right back.
