💜 How are you feeling right now?… Feeling Accomplished & Peaceful~.... Got in a great early-morning workout first thing this morning with some “Aqua Zumba” 💦 💃… Got all my tasks done & completed once home… And now Sitting outdoors in the Sunshine & grass with the furbaby after our Walk, just taking in the quietness & breeze of the moment together~ And of course feeling very glad that it’s Friday..(Always at peace on Fridays)~ ✌🏼
☀️Happy Weekend~ Thx for the Check-in~
@PoliteOcean
Awesome, that sounds like a super-productive/balanced day (exercise -> getting things done -> being able to relax with the furbaby 😊)
@QuietMagic
How are you feeling right now?
we having issues the storm within getting to us tonight it like mixed feelings and thoughts coming to fast if that make sense
What's a way that you might have described yourself in the past that no longer feels like it fits?
we say would be fearful of things around us we still on high alert still but not in a fearful way this changed after we moved away from family
@stormieandpaws I hope that y'all will be ok and safe from the storm. 🙏🤲
@YourCaringConfidant
thank you we will be safe not sure the storm will calm right away due to things hitting us that connected with feelings after the emotional numbness we thought some had blended into others but they was hiding watching to see if we really safe away from the abuse
so now some reappearing from within the caves inside this a good thing but hard one too only been a few years since mom came and stayed with us off and on we did not think that was harmful but now we see it was that why some was hiding in the caves under our inside city
so we stepping into another layer of healing so yes stormy but that ok we walk through the storm heal more
@stormieandpaws The resiliency is everything! I'm going to keep 🐾 in my prayers and that healing comes shortly. That's a lot on anybody, but y'all are strong and brave and can get through this. Please try and keep that positive mindset and energy. Walk through the storm and keep on marching on. Xoxo. 💙💙💙💙💙
@YourCaringConfidant
thanks we know we get through this storm we got through so many storms in our life as we tell others it a healing journey one step at a time no time line in healing for us we feel there layers in healing that come up and each layer is to be faced head on and over came healing not easy and well here at 7 cups we not feel so alone in the healing journey
@stormieandpaws
Sorry that everything's pouring in so quickly. I remember you mentioned that before in the past that there are layers and the new layers come up when they're ready to (after the layers above that have been healed), and that feels like a really nice/comforting mindset. The storm is happening because things are going well
My other thought is that if the ones who were hiding in the caves felt comfortable coming out and checking to see if it's okay to exist, that's a sign that they're feeling safer than before. 💜 And that's pretty brave of them to take that risk of reappearing if the last time they were active, your mom was staying with you and they felt like they needed to hide
@QuietMagic
thanks we feel everything about ones mindset in the end that what move one either way as inseeing hope and healing or seeing doom and no healing we each have to take time to see what our mindset is as that important as if in doom and hopeless one will not do the work to heal as they see no point to it due to belief nothing will ever get better that healing impossible so come back to ones mindset
yes ones that were in the caves hiding did not feel safe with mom coming to visit so they moved back into the caves but now seeing that no one around to abuse them so free to come out and live life again be safe
tonight we scared feeling alone today the one online we call momma we known 20 + years we throwing up 24 hours and it was turning green so infection so we went in they found she has a twisted and blocked bowel so she going into unplanned surgery this scary for us as no want to loss her but we also was in 24/7 support chat felt unsupported by ones in their but went into sharing circle not many in there but they did support us
we know many not think one can bond with others online but with momma we did she even saved our life a few times she one helped us get to point we could move away from family too
so to us she b like a healthy mom who has showed love and support for over 20 years we scared and sad
@stormieandpaws
I'm really sorry that your online mom has been sick and I hope the surgery goes well. (I did some research and it seems like the surgery can definitely help if she went in soon enough, and the green is normal for blocked bowel and not necessarily infection.) Do you have a way of finding out how she's doing?
@QuietMagic
she texted us day after surgery' to say they found kidney stones so was going to have stent put in there today she texted that we was back out of hospital they never keep her long as said she had many surgeries over the years due to RA and her parents not treating it so fall under medical neglect she called us let us know by hearing her she was ok she had a blockage before that she almost died from so that why we freaked too
but she doing better so glad of that
when she does pass away we know it be harder then when our real mom birth mom passes way some will never understand that due to we never met her yes this always in back of our head so we glad she ok still living
@stormieandpaws
That sounds incredibly positive 💜 If she was in bad shape, they wouldn't let her leave the hospital. And the fact that she was feeling well enough to text is great too. Also really nice that the doctors had the foresight to identify and address the kidney stones while she was already there in the hospital.
I wonder if the fact that she's had a blockage before was what made it possible for her to look at her symptoms and realize "this isn't normal even for me with all of my medical issues--this feels like the last time I had a blockage and I need to go to the hospital ASAP"
And makes sense that she's more like "family" than a lot of family members.
@QuietMagic
we misunderstood her she still in hospital but they was going to start PT and she was hoping to be able to go home in next few days
found out just little ago that dad fell broke his hip he going to be having surgery soon too
we also found out the testing on kidney we had and was not good our right kidney only working at 20% so more testing to be done after that we know next step
