Stressed TF - safe space

This page has been quiet for ages so let's get a conversation going if we can. What is everyone looking forward to this week? What did you learn last week? Whats on your mind? Anything :)

Hope everyone's doing ok. Been a bit quiet lately (sorry about that)
Hope everyone has a great day,one breath at a time lovelies

Been a bit quiet on here lately sorry guys. My health has hit a new low unfortunately but hopefully can start moving to get better now!! Finally got an appointment to sort the nerve damage in my spine so with any luck that will improve my mental health massively aswell as my physical health! I am so looking forward to it even if the procedure is horrific!! Its a step forward that I have been waiting for for years!! Happy Tuesday lovelies 😘 ❤

How's everybody's week going?
I've had an extremely bad week myself unfortunately (not looking for sympathy just sharing) I have been in unbelievable pain with my back and hips which made me ring the docs (I can usually handle the pain but this was by far the worst its been in a very long time)
Though I have been taking tramadol to help keep it at bay ita barely taken the edge off it. The pain has caused a weird ADHD psychosis which I didnt realise was possible until I researched it a couple of days ago. The human body is a very strange thing indeed. Did you know about the link between adhd and chronic pain? Its madness (literally)
Now because of this and past experiences I have referred myself to the mental health team at work to try and get some help before I lose the few marbles I have left.

I dont talk openly about my problems enough, I hold it all in and batten down the hatches while hoping for the best. This never works long term and there's always some sort of blow out after a while but I need help now before it explodes rather than cleaning up the pieces after the fact.

Happy Friday eve. Hope its you're all having a better time :)

Well, we've made it through another week! I'm celebrating by drinking with my daughter!

Let's play a game today. Sunday blessings all, hope you're all enjoying your day 😁

Happy Saturday all, productive day today. Its 10:15 and ive already been shopping and cleaned up a bit! Trouble is, now I've sat down i dont want to get up again!!

Anyway!! My funny old brain falls under this umbrella, this is why I struggle but it doesn't stop me :)

What are your plans for today?

A bit of Friday fun. What's everyone's "toxic traits"? This is absolutely me!!

Happy Friday lovelies!!! We've made it through another week!! The sun is shining and the beer garden is shouting me but have to go to work like a grown up :(
Have a great day everybody 😘

I want to sit by the sea for a while and watch the waves coming in. Forget everything and just breathe.

Endo flaring, feel horrific with added bonus of nerves failing me so im in a lot of pain! Even by standards this is ridiculous!! Where's the painkillers?? They're not in my work bag 😭😭

Yay for Tuesday!! I hope everyone has a good day! Let's spread some love today :)

Monday is over, tell me something that went well today. Or what did you f**k up today?
As far as Mondays go mine was ok, could have been so much worse!

I've seen a few posts lately about friends suffering from and getting treated for endometriosis. Even a fair amount of its likely to be endometriosis. March is endometriosis so I wanted to start a conversation about it.
I was diagnosed in 2015 after suffering and being fobbed off for too many years to count. Too many times hearing "it's just natural womens problems" "you're just not handling it well" and even worse "all women suffer the same, you just need to handle pain better".
All women have their own issues and handle pain differently but being fobbed off and ignored leaves you feeling deflated. I refrained from seeking further help after the strain of trying but after it got too much to live with i had no choice. After many months and many l many tests and referrals I finally got diagnosed. In for the first surgery a few months after. That surgery was pointless as they didn't do anything, i was told my body was ravaged by the endometriosis so they wanted to give me a hysterectomy, I would never be able to have children they told me, this would be something that could help. They didn't want to go down thay path because I was getting married and may want to have children. The doctor knew I had one child but my husband may want them?! They'd already told me I couldn't have children so why keep it. There was much crying involved but managed to get them to agree to giving me the treatment they offered. Yes it was a long road to get there but after diagnosis I did so much research. A hysterectomy is NOT a cure for endometriosis but it does help in some cases. Yes I still suffer but it could always be worse and im grateful!

Hey everyone, i know ots late but I wanted to thank everyone that's joined. I hope it works out as a support community ❤

Im currently exhausted but too wired to sleep! has an aspect what is commonly known as hyper focus. This can be great for learning new things, hobbies etc but it can also be a living hell if the hyper focus is on something that is not constructive nor good for you. When it focuses on something bad its a struggle. Craziness can ensue and end up losing more marbles (and I didnt have many to start!)

I'm curious if anyone hear suffers with hyper focus and if you do, do you only focus on positive things or like me something bad. And if you do, how do you stay sane? I'm having repested meltdowns that I'm struggling to contain. My usual tricks are failing me. I know it'll be ok and won't last forever but trying to tell my weird brain that doesn't listen to reason is like talking to a stubborn teenager (or toddler, im not sure which right now)

Anyway, enough of my nonsense. Keep smiling folks half way through the week nearly!
Love and light

Stressed TF - safe space updated their business hours.

This is a tad scary but it will be worth it!!
This made me chuckle when I saw it. Im a great judge of character unless im friends with said dodgy person!!
But feeding off different energy is a big thing for me. If im with someone in a bad mood I will end up in a worse mood! I've been an empath for as long as I can remember. Not too great but gives insight without the need of words
