Hi! 
Please be rest assured I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and extend well wishes to you! 
Whatever it is that you are currently going through, it sounds hard. I understand. I think many of us are going through so very much right now in our lives. You are not alone! 
It's okay if you don't want to share what the specifics are. For me to know that you are going through something, anything, yes, it's enough to get my attention and start sending what I call "knee mail" on your behalf. If you do decide you ever want to share, we have a big community of wonderful people that will wrap their arms around you and help to the best of our abilities. I send you big *hugs* my friend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful reply, friend! Heart warming. It's hard to know where to begin when I'm dealing with so much, there's a lot on my mind this morning... and I'm praying for discernment and clarity in making the right decisions.
@fearlessNickel4472
me again who knows, after allowing yourself some time, time away from the big decisions, engaging in self care, venting with a listener in a 1-1 chat, letting it all out, letting it flow (and prayer).......
it could come a time to jump back into the process of decison making only when you are ready. There are lots of things I like to do for that type of thing. I guess for me, I have tools in my little "tool box" but even for me, I ran into this exact same type of thing only recently. I let myself sit, just sit in the overwhelming feeling of it all. I told myself "this too shall pass" not meaning the issues, but the feeling of being overwhelmed if I just gave myself the chance to let go of it all for a moment, for a space in time,think about it all and let my own juices flow for thinking.
I got my head back in the game and got back up on that horse. I let my mind unload with pen and paper, I unleashed the "beast" lol. I set out to making an action plan for the many different things that needed to be done in my life, what should go first, what should go second. To see it on paper for me is what I call "brain dumping". Oh, the sleepless nights if I don't finally "dump it". But part of it truly is the motivation to do so. And I really believe in doing the self care, and reaching out to a listener to vent. I too have a member account. I have only used it maybe 3 times, but I know it's there! And there is no shame in me reaching out for help too. Everyone needs support from time to time.
Oddly enough, all of these things that were swirling in my mind, are related to other peoples lives that depend on me. I not only have to organize my mind and physical space but sometimes theirs as well. And for me the time is NOW to drag some of these issues and people I love across the finish line. For me, it's a hero story and I'm getting traction!
That's wonderful... thank you and congratulations! It's nice to communicate with you on here.
@fearlessNickel4472
I enjoy communicating with you here as well! Maybe others will come along also and might contribute too! I hope they do! We have an amazing group of people here on 7 cups, members and listeners alike. I love seeing the support from everyone in the community when any one of us need support. I love the forum areas and it's great to receive support, give support and from the perspective of many! big *hugs*
