Hi everyone, thanks for the welcome, its great to be able to be seen and heard here. I feel safe sharing and like the support, thankyou.

I came across a quote that really resonates with me and it might for someone else.

"THE ONLY PESON YOUR DESTINED TO BECOME IS THE PERSON YOU DECODE TO BE"

Have a great weekend everyone ✨️🙏🏼

Amazing quote @Sorry13 ! I can really reasonate with it too.

Do you have much planned for the weekend?

• Ah what a warm and surprising welcome Ru-bee. I've been feeling quite isolated and lonely lately- which is one of the reason's I made a SANE account, and your message has really touched my heart. I've been off work for a few weeks after experiencing extreme burnout and I've been feeling quite lost and disoriented. I've spent the past week resting and collecting Sea Glass from my favourite beach near my house. I work in the Health/Mental Health sector and I'm feeling quite anxious about the future but focusing on taking care of my body and doing things that bring me joy have really helped me manage. 

Thanks again for the message to the Newbies. I don't think I would have had the courage to reach out/post if I hadn't received your message in my inbox.

Reading this has brought a smile to my face @Reba 

It can be intimidating reaching out somewhere new, but I hope you'll find the forums to be a welcoming and safe space.

I've also been through burn out previously and it's a hard, hard place to be in. I'm glad to hear that you're taking the time to rest and recover, and collecting sea glass sounds like such a calming, mindful activity.

Thank you for the welcoming on here, I know I’m a bit late. This is a great place to be. I keep reading & everything is so sad on here, all I seem to do is cry. I am a very emotional person. I asked when I arrived here about how should I feel with different emotions. All these feelings people feel I just don’t have them. I wonder if I am real inside. Or am I stuck. I only get the feeling of anxiety. I believe I have only had that feeling twice in my 72 years. That’s all I get other than having very down days. I have done a lot of work on myself over the years tho. I did do 3xSelf awareness classes way back, just so that I could take it all in. Then I became a Telephone Councellor. Met the husband then moved states. What a mistake. But we live and learn. I never knew I was so damaged until he came along. I remember 1 of the many things that he done one day. He read my Diary. Then said Why did you not get help? Hello were you there. Men just don’t think like us aye?
That’s exactly the way I grew up in a man’s world/house. So different. I guess thats why I have never really had it in me to have a conversation with one. Well I hope everyone has a good day if they can. I guess I best get out of bed & take my buddy for a walk before he meets all the others n starts barking.
For something that was going to be very short I’m sorry about that.
Whatever you do today try to think Positive. I do try 💐❤️X

Hi! thank you for the warm welcome. I have recently been diagnosed with C-PTSD and am just trying to find safe spaces and resources to help with my healing journey 🙂 happy to be here

[Justhere]

Hello, thanks for the welcome.

Have just been to see someone today, who needed a friend. 

Either I'm masking well today or am making progress, i don't know, but i was providing her supports. I hope this served her well.

I feel drained now, tired and teary, we both discussed our journeys and hugged, neither really knowing how the other felt until we were together, but her message to me had a sense of desperation i know only too well.

With the meds[edited by moderator] I am on now, i don't know if it's me anymore, or I suppose I've never really known me at all.

the Masks have kept her hidden inside like the song Haunted, trapped within me and every bodies fool.

As in the song Hello, I've been talking to myself, trying hard to bring me to life, through helping others and lost me. 

I am looking forward to starting on this new chapter and move to the other side of this darkness.
