Hey Raven
Sorry youre not feeling at your best. I hope you have a peaceful Sunday and are able to put your needs first.
Look after yourself my lovely.
@DeborahUK Hugs, Thanks deb. M doing well enough.
I feel like a new woman. There is a new perspective to be gained once I realized A how much influence, pressure and anxiety that was to be had from my cousins family. And now that I have calmedyself and thought about it. I feel like I can actually succeed with what I want to do n be. Idk how else to put it. But maybe severing ties is what should have happened a while ago.
@Sk1ttles Hej hon, m happy you found some peace and new perspective. That perspective is our blessing, it's the exchange for our woes. Ja, severing ties is always painful, but ever so liberating. 
Getting by fine :) Juggling between my study, internship and job applications
@MayaCarino That's awesome to hear, Rock Your World Hon. 
*hug* for you Raven.
I slept last night for the first time in a long time. I want to do it again tonight and if I manage it it will be the first time of two good nights in a row in my memory. I reckon at least 10 years. I hope I can make it but I am trying not to feel too hopeful.
@Kuma0187

@DeborahUK
Thanks. It didn't work twice in a row, but that's okay, I am going to keep trying until it does.
Meditation is more for being awake in the mornings for me, I find the type of meditation I know is not for sleeping. I put a nice photo on my laptop and the sound of snoring in the background so that I don't feel panic from being alone and that helps a bit.
@Kuma0187 I'm sure you can. Be aware to not dwell upon it so as to not create stress about it. Program your preferred dreams and rest well.
Hello Family
Think I am about ready to get back in action, flu is almost gone and life is good

@DeborahUK

@scarletPear1945 So happy to hear Scarlett. I feel bad for those whom get this germ, I do not. (so I call it the Americanacht germ )
@Raveninthelabrynth
Thanks a lot
I have to watch The Hunting Ground and write a short summary about it for my English class. I didn
@BeeLeigh Hugs Bee, ja m blowing off much reading this weekend too. Don't fall behind
@Raveninthelabrynth
Oh I
@Raveninthelabrynth : Hoping you feel better soon!
Woke up, slept well. Was going to work on some things, then my laptop started to act up. Guess my lemon of a laptop senses fear, lol.
(I swear I was actually working, I only took a 15 minute break!)
As I was typing this post, my laptop started to respond enough to make this an easy fix. Just need it to hold on a bit longer and I can finish this thing I need to send off for printing...
This is gonna be a busy week. Hoping to do as much as I can. Getting off to a good start I think, going to try my best to keep the momentum going through to Friday-- I'll get to take some secret me-time after taking care of some business then!
Alright. Tea later, more coffee now. Gonna do this! Insertcryingkittenpicturehere
@Torremp Thanks Tor. Sorry for the Technological Doom. M sure you can sort it. Some "Me time" sounds awesome right now. I'll take some when semester is over. ;)
Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a good day. :)
@LesbianHelperToAll Hi Helper, Thank You and we hope you too are having a wonderful day.
@Raveninthelabrynth I'm not doing great, as you probably read during the group chat.
Yesterday a client of mine had to spend the night with her 15yo daughter in the ER. Her daughter was on a psych hold because she was planning on attempting suicide. I was able to support my client, but it gave me flashbacks to my own time being a suicidal teenage girl in a broken family.
As I was finishing up my report on the incident, I was entering the date and I realized that it was my father's birthday. He sexually abused me when I was young. We haven't had a relationship in over 6 years. Realizing it was his birthday was really upsetting for me and I've had a hard time eating and thinking and functioning since.
@AlexArdaigh Hugs my friend, always about at some point iffin ye ever need to talk.
@Raveninthelabrynth Hey how are you? Well today something really funny (if that is what you can even call it) happened...ok it is a little corny but I felt that I should share it with anybody that needed a little extra hope/comfort if they can take it from my day and what happened. Well here goes... me and my boyfriend just got home from food shopping at the market while I was putting away food I was talking about a emergeny surgery that I just had a few weeks ago after the surgery. I thought that I would be a broken mess, but for some reason I survived the surgery, I was scared of it and didn't know what to expect, because I never had surgery before. For some reason I feel like doing the best I can and moving on...like I maybe might have a purpose in this world, so I went into the bedroom to set my boyfriends alarm for work and as I was thinking of all I been through George Michaels "Faith" song came on the radio out of nowhere, who knows maybe it was a sign of some kind if you believe in it or not. So I danced and sang to the song and it made me happy/smile. Sorry for the long of the post but just sharing something nice. Hope you have a great day/night!
@MelanieDaniels63 That's Aesome Melanie. I hear you with surgerys, I've had a few too. Glad you came through the otherside if it filled with joy and motivation. Sing! Shake yer bummie! Rock Your World!
@Raveninthelabrynth Thanks for the kind words and the comment! I hope you have a great day/night.
