This sounds like a pretty heavy space to be in @scared01. I know it can be really hard when we're in it but @Anonymous has made some solid points. You are a supportive, compassionate and highly valued member of our community and I hope that maybe tomorrow after a rest you'll be able to take some of that on board. 

 

Things will get better @scared01 Heart

Hey @scared01, I've noticed that you've deleted your last point. Just checking in to see how you're going. Your well-being really matters to me and I agree with @Erin-RO and @Anonymous, you are a really valued member of our community. I think I can remember you were one of the first people I got in touch with when I first joined the forums! I can't imagine what the forums would be like without you.

😞 @scared01. That's so sad to hear that you're sister doesn't want to be around you anymore. Hearing that must make you feel so out of place, am I right? It already makes me feel out of place and sad and devastated just hearing that :(.

What are your plans for today? Here for you ❤️

P.S. While you may feel like a nothing, I think that you are a something

she doesnt want to come to my house and spend time with me, or come to the shops. she barely even wants to come to the horses with me anymore but she will go with mum no problems. the other day i went to a celebratory thing with/for her and she didnt even say hello to me. she was at my house earlier on and she complained because i was going to be looking after them for a little while this arvo and when they left she just walked out. its becoming a normal thing now. ive been pushed out of everyone elses lives so i guess its no surprise. ive got no one and i cant force anyone to be my friend etc. ts becoming a normal thing. no one eveer contacts me for 'me' only when they want something and when they come to my house they only come for pop

i dont think anyone would miss me if i left, they would just replace me.

I'm sorry to hear that about your sister @scared01 :(. I think that it's not very nice for her to do that. I should also add that I reckon you'll always have us to reach out to no matter what happens and it'll so sad and devastating if you left.

How are you looking after yourself today?

thanks @Esperanza67 but even here im finding it harder to reach out or to fit in. i dont know how to fix a broken brain so that i can go back to being able to support others more or at least make some good helpful posts again.

im watching tv atm but i have to go pick up the kids and go to the shop. other than that theres not alot to do

Hey @scared01

The situation with your sister sounds really tough. I just wanted to say that I completely relate. I used to be best friends with my little sister and now our relationship has deteriorated almost beyond repair. She would never visit me, never want to talk to me and she even said we should just walk out of each other's lives forever. And it wasn't a little spat, it's been an issue that has been going on for just over 2 years now and I am still struggling with it.

 

I don't want to give up on my relationship with her, it's not easy because we don't live together so I try to visit her often but for the time being not put any pressure on her to go out with me. Something that sorta worked for me was bringing up old times. Like I would say "remember when we did (insert activity) as kids how silly we were?" or mention an inside joke that only her and I used to share. And that usually results in her and I having a laugh for a few moments together and I guess I think it might slowly rekindle the bond. Or alternatively I still sometimes ask her for advice on something I'm dealing with. Just get the ball rolling with us again.

 

I know how it feels to have a family member push me away and it can cascade into feeling like I don't belong but it's helpful to remember that there are people who love you. I know that this community for instance really values you and it wouldn't be the same without you. I genuinely hope that things become better for you and remember we are here for you just like you have been here for others so many times Heart

thank you @Ladybug
the problem is though is shes alot younger than me. its just hard becasue both of my sisters have been like my kids in a way becasue i do alot of the mothering role and for even them to not want to be near me is really hard.
we had an ok night though with dinner desert and a movie that we all liked as well as going shopping so was ok.

Hey there @scared01,

 

I'm sorry to hear how things are going with your sister, are they both distant or just one? It sounds like your night last night was nice, dinner and desert plus a movie sounds nice 🙂

 

I hear you around support, it can be difficult to know if it's worth it, especially when there's only so many sessions in a year. Do you know if you'll be seeing your psych in early or late Feb? Do you think you could access other supports, such as online counseling, in between those sessions, what do you think? 

 

It's okay to take things one day at a time. Sometimes we do need breaks from support others on the forums, and that's not a bad thing either. Your posts are always so insightful and compassionate, it's okay to spend some time in the lighter sections of the forums as @Esperanza67 suggested if that's what you feel like doing. What do you think?

thanks @Jay-RO
yeah the niht was nice, its a rare occassion that happens.
ill be seeing the psych early in feb i need to find the car but i think its the first friday in feb so the 1st or 2nd. something like that. i do sometimes do online counselling when i think i need it with helplines but not usually. im often to complicated for them so so jsut go in circles unless i have a focal point for why im actually conctacting them.

yeah ive been spending tme in lighter sections, sometimes i find it hard to evne be in that section as it feels 'forced' on my behalf.- not sure if that makes sense or not.
