Trying to hold it together

Hang in there girl. Whatever it is, you will overcome, or go round. There's always more than one way to skin a cat (not a nice mental picture, but you know what I mean) Keep the faith!
 
Big hugs, I know the OH stuff and that's more than enough to deal with. More just seems downright unfair :( Chin up, chuck, if any of us can help, you know we're here. :)

well, you know, the OH has taken himself off to work an hour and a half early! When the going gets tough and all that! Yet another example of letting his kids down. His child needs all the support he can get right now, his life is falling apart, and his father hasn't got the balls to even talk to him about it.
not to worry, hes got me, and I am superhuman! :D
 
I so wish that I could say that everything will be okay, but sometimes life sucks. I sincerely hope that things doesn't become as bad as you fear, but if the worst happens, I hope you find the inner strength to deal with it.


I heard this song in a horse video some months ago, and posted it on a friend's Facebook page who was going through a tough time. Reading this thread made me think of that song again, so here is Rodney Atkins with If you're going through hell:

fabulous! Thank you, that song just sums. it up. I will keep on going! :)
 
I dunno if this will help a little.

ONE STEP AT A TIME.....
Sort out first whats the most important stuff to do, DO IT.
Then after that work out in importance order what needs to be done, take your time, ecplain to anyone who is waiting on you they have to wait more. Prioritise is the answer ive always found, don't panic, try not to despair and think like this "you wont die of whatever it is that's stressing you" ( I hope) so you will come through it, just don't panic. Good luck
 
Sending you cyber support smokey. It sounds as though what you are dealing with is, to a large degree, out of your control which probably makes it all the more stressful. I am all for the "fight" philospohy, but sometimes half the battle is accepting that something isnt in your control and that beyond any obvious action you can take, destiny will plot its own course. Wherever that leads you, difficult times will always ease in the end.
 
I'm sorry things have taken a turn for the worse, Smokey. I have a friend who is having a really tough time atm. She takes strength from the fact that her late mum always used to say, "You will only be given what you can cope with". I hope this is true for you, too.

I'm inclined to believe that. I've had some awful stuff to deal with, and I'm still standing! I just hope we can stay standing through this as well.
 
A sentance said to me after my accident, which, although I am not really into pushing religion, touch a nerve with me.

'The will of God will not take you where the grace of God will not protect you'

I hope it all works out for you, and you will come out the other side.
 
I just really need to say a heartfelt 'thank you' to each and every one of you, for your messages both on here and by PM. i am overwhelmed by the kindness shown, it means a huge deal. Today I'm in bed, ill, typical! Haven't been ill for years. I think its all just catching up. I have swallowed my body weight in every pill and medicine i can get my hands on. I will be better by tomorrow! Luckily my eldest went into attack mode for both of us today, and stuff we needed to do has all been done. Eldest daughter came up and made a meal.for the troops, so no ones hungry.
seriously, i cant thank you all enough, every message helped. This forum really is extraordinary, a true caring community. This situation will drag on for ages, but the support here will help me face whatever the outcome. is.
:)
 
I'm glad the support on here is helping, stay strong, these things are sent to try us. I truly hope things work out for you, and hope that you're feeling well again tomorrow. As someone once said on here, sometimes we have to hit rock bottom to bounce back up. Take care x

I'm sorry to hear, that you on top of everything have gotten ill, I hope you have an as speedy recovery as possible. Of course it would be better if it wasn't needed, but as the situation is, I think it sounds very lovely to hear about your eldest son and daughter, that they stepped in, took over the rudder and took care of the things that needed to be done today.

P.s. Glad that you liked the song.
 
Thanks again. Its just a silly bug, which usually i would ignore and get on with things. Think the way I've been feeling it was just the last straw. Have had a full day in bed, and am still there now. Should be fine by tomorrow, and ready to take on the world.
FL, that song has been playing in my head since you posted, thank you x
 
For all who expressed concern and support, a tiny update. Yesterday went as well as we could of hoped for. Its not over, by a long shot, but we've got one bit out of the way.
its going to be a long hard haul, but we can do this.
thank you all :)
 
Hi Smokey, just wanted you to know I am thinking about you. I have had some very dark times in my life and I also know it can feel completely out of control. Take time for yourself and take things one step at a time. Big hugs Annie. Xx
