Down a tiny bit this morning. Not a lot, but its in the right direction. I've resumed my daily weighing and the next thing on my'to do'list is to log what I'm eating. Still feeling quite up beat but I have to start reducing my pills on doctors orders and I'm feeling a bit anxious that I'll slip back into the black hole again. She feels with the counselling I'm going to be OK.
I've always considered myself to be a strong, stoical person who could cope with whatever life threw at me - it has come as a great shock to realise that I'm not as invincible and fireproof as I thought. Counselling has enabled me to see that it isn't weak to ask for help or to need it.
Weather has been absolutely superb for the last week. Now I can look at mother nature with interest again I can see how the bright spring green has gone and the much darker summer colours are here. We have a good show of dandelions and buttercups in the fields and the bright red field poppies are sprouting inthe wheat and barley fields.
Hope everyone has had a good day

Welcome back. I am not around much but you have been in my thoughts and I am happy to see you are getting help (it is not weakness!) since we all need help sometimes. I think it is hard on our egos to admit it is all. :) Believe me when I say I have been there all too often myself and can understand. Still, I am so pleased you are feeling better and hope you continue down a bright and sunny path. {{{{{Hugs}}}}}

LOL!!! Flaxseed, even the 'strongest' of us have our 'weak' moments!! And, the reality is you ARE coping with this time in your life. The only difference is that you now have another tool or two in your toolbox to use!! You and I have a lot in common though so I do know what you mean. I, for some silly reason, have always felt I 'should' be able to 'handle' things on my own. Kind of funny I'm a therapist isn't it??? LOL!!! I just can't tell you how pleased I am to see you back here though ... I missed you so much!!! Keep putting one foot in front of the other my friend ... sniff the flowers, enjoy the small things, we are with you every step of the way!!

Sooner or later we are all vulnerable flaxseed. We are all the same. Know that you are appreciated and loved here and that we will never leave you alone to cope with your troubles. Excellent drop by the way, keep it coming buddy...

Hi Flax, so good to have you back again. I have always had to be the strong one in my family and it is hard to admit I may just need someone's help. I do understand that feeling. You do sound in a good mood tho and I am really glad to hear from you again. Welcome home!
