((((((((Christina))))))))

i've not woke up right yet so forgive if this post isn't much, i do care about you which is why i want to find something to say to you even tho i'm not good with words.

first off...you do such a fantastic job of helping other people here, i think it's easy for people to forget you're only human too. i know, i used to do councelling and everybody just assumes you're so perfect...that's tiring in itself. it made me feel inadequate if there was anything wrong with me to the point where i just kept it all in instead. i'm really glad that you know you can post here when things aren't good and get the same support and understanding from us that we get from you.

i think maybe, though it's hard, when people tell you insensitive things...you need to remind yourself they're the ones with a problem as they've obviously got no awareness or understanding of other peoples feeling...or even that other people have feelings. i'll bet anything these people are too wrapped up in themselves to even notice when they hurt others?

i think you need a very gentle and LOVING reminder to take some of your own advice and medicine that you dish out to us:

you're allowed to get angry but find a sensible way of relieving it...bash a pillow, scream at your monitor, buy a punch-bag, take up kick-boxing.

it's ok to remove yourself from the company of negative people...isn't that part of this thing called self-care you've all taught me about here?

take whatever me time you can...even if it's just unhooking your fone to have a bubble bath in peace, watch a movie in peace, go for a walk in the woods.

don't forget you've got people her who think the world of you and it's ok to post, pm, lean on us however you need whenever you need. you don't have to bottle anything up here or pretend to be something you're not

sorry but that's it apart from...love ya, hang in there and i hope you get to feeling better soon.
