When ever you get some extra time read this. It will take some time to read the whole article but I think it would be worth it if you did.

I wish it really was that easy to move on.

Ok fair enough, eating healthily helps people with behaviour problems. I dont fall into that category though. Ive been badly hurt, not just playing up. Im sorry, I just cant see it. I cant see how that would heal me. Theres nothing wrong with my diet, ive always been healthy but just because I eat the right food doesnt mean im going to be happy.

 

[stelow]

I hope the best for you and that you find some happiness in your life.

 

[MelWright]

Thank you. I hope so too. Im feeling so tired and drained from all this pressure at the moment. Need someone to give me a break!

Mel, make some time for YOU! You have to take care of yourself sometimes. A nice hot bubble bath, relaxing walk in the park, spend time with friends, prayer time.

I am praying for you!

 

[MelWright]

I went for a walk in the park today. Only reason was, was that my mum had made me so angry with her i had to get out the house or i would of hit her! Ive never been that angry in my life.

I just havnt got the time for any me time what with looking after my brothers as well as work.

Your right, I know you are its just impossible at the moment. I need to move out. Get away from my mum, its the only way i can be happy.

 

[lavenderskies]

Do you have friends or other family you could stay with? do you have your own room, that can be an escape, or even taking a shower or bath can help for some me time.

 

[MelWright]

No not really. O well im busy constantly this week. Work all day and stuff every night. Keep me out the house a lot. Cant be a bad thing except il be knackered.

Good to hear Mel. Hope it all works out for you. If not, then there are some suggestions in previous posts you could take advantage of to get some help.

Good luck and God bless.

 

[MelWright]

[MelWright]

I dont really understand. What does the first line mean?

 

[MelWright]

Ive done so well. Ive had alcohol almost forced down my throat by my mum but i was strong. Kept saying no and walked away when it was getting too much. Proud of myself

 

[LoG]

Way to go. Mel!

 

[MelWright]

Thanks. The thing is, I kept saying no but it wasnt even that difficult. It was like I really didnt want it, I wasnt just telling myself I didnt want it. I think ive really made a breakthrough .

Just means that God would have you look for the strength in another direction. Look to Him for your answers and He will supply them.

It just feel like I went through all the pain of talking to them for nothing. O well, I really had to push myself to do it, never mind. Thats how things usually work for me. My mum ended up getting me in tears again last night. Im an embarresment to her, she hates me, wishes I wasnt here. The usual. Im staying strong though . Not drinking, its turning out
