Not posting any thing good again

So this weekend was an example of what not to say. I was visiting my folks and was catching them up on things. Perfectly harmless.

Well I told them how it's been a week since I had a Charlie horse. Yay! Had a Charlie horse that night.

Told them how I've been lucky and had my car for 10 years. Got into an accident and wrecked my car the next day.

So im not posting or taking about anything good in my life for a while. I simply can't afford it.

Or...this could be your superpower. "Thank goodness I've never won the lottery."

You need a cape, a cool name and a sidekick.

I hope you are ok after accident - sending you virtual soothing microwave heatpacks to help 😊

I'm sorry you are feeling this way, but please don't give up on positivity or seeking the good things in life. Yes, there are bad days but by the same token there are good days as well and on those bad days you have the opportunity to learn why it was bad so that you can prepare to minimise or mitigate in the future if you can. You could not have foreseen these two events but you haven't done anything that would suggest that you had a hand in either. Be kind to you because you are very much worth it and seven cups always here to provide empathy and support.

I, just as I'm sure many others, care about your well being and hope that you are able to heal both physically and mentally as soon as you can. Be kind to you. I hope you are able to take time to rest, and undertake mindfulness exercises, etc, but ultimately rest and obtain some peace of mind, take care 😊

Thank you for your kind words. I was lucky enough to have not been hurt in the accident. Although my back did get sore afterwards. But that was nothing some Naproxen didn't help.

@gardenlady gosh I'm so sorry so many bad things happened all together like that. I can understand why you'd be scared of something like that happening again. I hope you'll feel comfortable sharing the positive things in your life again soon! They're worth celebrating, and it's a shame to feel like you can't. Take care, I hope you feel better.

Thank you. I hope I will as well. I am sure it is just a temporary feeling. I am usually quite positive.

@gardenlady I'm really sorry.. I feel that way too that if you feel happy about something you jinx it.. So I'm even scared to laugh at times because I fear the tears that would follow..

I know what you mean. But I will tell you this I have managed to turn that bad luck streak around a bit.....and all by myself. No help from my ex. I am so happy I was able to do that.
