Want to forget TW

@Zoe7 I only just found this post. 

I just want to say how impressed I am that you shut down that conversation straight away.  Firmly but not rudely. 

That itself is a huge step.  In the past I don't believe you could do this.  So huge progress has been made.  Please think of this when you struggle. 

Sending you gentle hugs,  my good friend.  💜

Struggled yesterday but a better day today. My kids are just gorgeous and were so happy to have me back - it is absolutely beyond words what joy they bring me. Had a really nice comment from one of my Mum's via my principal today. This Mum has bipolar and yesterday was the first time I have been able to catch her to talk. She can barely get her son to school but is trying so hard ...and he is just a joy to have in the class. I think now we have chatted she feels so much less pressure as I told her to get him there whatever time she can - I don't care if it is just for an hour in the afternoon. Hopefully that will take some pressure off and hopefully she now knows she is supported by the school as well. 

Also had a better night last night - no nightmares for the first time in weeks so hoping that is a good sign things are looking up again. Still feeling exhausted but have worked since I got home to try to catch up ...getting there 👍 Looking forward to the weekend to get some more rest and regain some strength and energy. I have nothing that needs doing or nowhere to be this weekend so more catching up on work, plenty of rest and a lot of fur baby cuddles.

@utopia Great to see you Hon 💖

Thanks for the update @Zoe7  and I was pleased to read how positive you are right now!

Well done on your return to work my friend. I had a good visit with my pdoc this morning and I’m feeling much more confident tonight.

Bring on Friday YAY!!

Hi @Zoe7,

It is really nice to read you are feeling a little better. Your kids sound gorgeous and I would imagine their energy may be a little contagious. I really love how you spoke to the mum that has bipolar. I am sure your kind words helped her a lot. A family member has bipolar so I know somewhat the rollercoaster it can be so I'm sure you understanding and kindness will be received with gratitude by your student's mum. 

I was really touched to be included in your post where you talked about how the support from the community helped you - I'm so glad that we were able to hold a bit of space for you when you needed it. Anytime you need support just let us know. I know you are a great support to others on the forums too.

I'm glad you are sleeping a bit better too. Sounds like you have the perfect weekend ahead - no plans much and lots of rest and relaxing. I could do with one of those myself lol!

Enjoy your weekend - I hope it is calm, relaxing and filled with lots of fur baby cuddles.

Big hugs,

FloatingFeather

One of those 'down' days after another pretty bad night @FloatingFeather @NatureLover @Eve7 Work was okay but I am getting a bit tired of the ongoing conflict between my two next door neighbour teachers. I am friends with one of them but it is all she can talk about lately and I am quite honestly over it. I have encouraged her to talk to the principal and to request a meeting between all 3 of them so I really hope she does. Nothing will change if it continues as it is ...and I don't want to be stuck in the middle. My friend only works one day a week but it is becoming draining listening to her be so negative all the time. She is absolutely valid in what she is saying but the situation will not change unless she talks to the person that needs to know everything (the Principal). 

I also do not have the energy for it all. I have been struggling myself and trying to get on top of work again ...but all my spare time today has been spent listening to her. I finally packed everything up to bring home - just so I could get away. Thank goodness for my kids and fur babies - plenty of fun with the kids today and fur baby cuddles tonight.

@Zoe7  How did you sleep last night, now that your work week is over? Sorry to hear about the down day and the bad sleep on Thursday night 😞 I really hope this weekend is a healing weekend - where you can do what you want and need. 💚

Actually fell asleep on the couch and slept through most of the night @NatureLover 👍

Feeling much better this morning as a result. Going to get all the housework out of the way early before it gets hot later. It is already very warm so having an inside day - which will be good for getting work done. I might even make a trip to the beach later today with Tobes - he needs a bath anyway so can do that after we return (as he is likely to become a sand monster lol).

Happy to hear you got a good sleep and that you're feeling stronger today @Zoe7 , yay 💚

[Zoe7]

Me too @NatureLover How are you today?
