@CheerBear  or anyone else around to talk until I fall asleep. Urges to take things further are high. I hopefully will be asleep soon.

Anything happen this afternoon?

[Teej]

Yeah it did @CheerBear . It’s on the virtual village but I’d rather respond after here. Please know if I drop out you’ve done a great job supporting me from letting urges win. 

Also had a hard day with ex. I imploded earlier but pulled it together all by myself. This tipped me over to use unhealthy coping strategies and a very emotional SOS to my therapist before. It’s been building but just went bang

That's a lot in one day @Teej (plus aunt Irma too).

Did you hear back from your therapist?

[Teej]

Yeah a couple of hours ago and I cried through the phone call. It helped me to try to behave and when I can cope better talk to him.  I think aunt Irma has helped the crescendo. @CheerBear

@Faith-and-Hope  He has gone back into parenting mode. I’m not coping. It’s been building for weeks.

It's often enough to tip me over completely @Teej 😑

Getting through it the way you have tonight and taking time out before you talk to him sounds like a sensible and well considered way of going about it. You have been managing so much and it's getting to you (understandably) by the sound of things tonight 🙁

Think I’m done. Thanks guys. Speak later. 💜🤗😘🤞🏼🙏
