Re: My special place

Motivation can come and go @Snowie and I know sometimes it's harder to feel that hope. 

You're going through so much uncertainty right now with your family, add that to any individual struggles and I think it's understandable to be struggling to care.

Care and trying can also bring uncertainty, because then we are open to being let down or disappointed, whereas when we close ourselves off from caring then there's a bit of safety in that because if we don't care then we won't get hurt. Maybe today you need to not care, and maybe tomorrow or the next day you'll find that you can open yourself to caring a little bit...

Re: My special place

I care about others @Ru-bee I care about my MIL, care about how my mum will cope, care about the hurt I can cause my kids/hubby.

It's me I don't care about. Don't care what happens, what I do.

Re: My special place

I care a lot about you @Snowie  💜💜

Re: My special place

Oh yeah, I was never doubting your care about your family @Snowie 

Like @Eve7 said, if you aren't able to care about yourself at the moment please know that we care about you 💜

Re: My special place

Thanks @Eve7 I care a lot about you too hon 💗💗I just wish I could show it to you

 

@Ru-bee I know others care. It's just me.

 

I'm sitting here by myself. So many things in my mind. The main is finding a reason to care. Why 

Re: My special place

Maybe it could be a small reason @Snowie Can you remember what reasons you've felt in the past to care?

Re: My special place

In the past I could care about me @Ru-bee Care enough to continue with my supports, care enough to be here for my family. Care that my life is worth it, that I'm worth it. That others rely on me.

 

Whilst my mind can remember these things, can think that they might be worth fighting for, I struggle to want too. 

 

Re: My special place

Those are some great reasons to care @Snowie 

It sounds like you're unsure, that these things might still be worth fighting for... could it be that this care for yourself isn't completely gone, it's just really hard to reach right now? Maybe it's not a strong feeling of motivation, but that question of maybe is sometimes something that we can at least hold on to

Re: My special place

I really don't know @Ru-bee 

I guess deep down there could be something. Maybe why I haven't followed through

 

Re: My special place

Does it feel like this is enough to not follow through for tonight @Snowie
