The ‘I’m struggling’ thread

[Benjy23]

Well said. Be careful out there.

And once it's all over, this time next week the come down starts! Always best to be prepared for that. ​​​​​​

If anyone doubts the support or relevance they have on here (I'll be honest I did which is why I posted on my diary rather than in this thread earlier in the year) - DON'T.

As someone who's experienced it, people are here for you.

We will help if you need it.

Putting things in words does help.

Yep hugely important. A post festival curry with my daughter is how I find that soft landing. Whatever yours is make sure you make it happen :welcoming:

 

[Kevloaf]

Just seen this thread mentioned - some may not have seen it

Look after yourselves, as a priority :love_heart:

Always get the post festival burn out and blues

Going to Aintree this year will definitely help

It's quiet on the forum at the moment, but my life has been far from quiet, and this is one of the places I know I can come to and just write (I've waffled plenty about horses in years gone by ).

I don't want to go into particulars, but I am now undergoing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy, I've no idea if this works, but it is a recognised among the major health authorities around the world, so here's hoping.

Anyway, on top of what was already going on I've found out some other s**t both last night and then this morning, it's like you couldn't make it up. Life has a way of compounding misery upon misery. If only my investments compounded like this, I'd probably be retired by now!!

 

[Benjy23]

All the best mate! And write away if it makes you feel better!

 

[Lobos]

Sorry to hear that COD. Hopefully that's it for the shit news for you and things will be on the up from here on in.

Thank you chaps, it is appreciated.

 

[Quevega]

Thank you chaps, it is appreciated.

There will be better days COD.
Just keep trucking on as best you can.
And seek help like it appears you are doing already.

Well , I'll give you a virtual hug C.o.D. , I'm having a pretty shit time myself , For the last year actually .
Involved in a family dispute , over probate
of my dear old Late Mum's House.
Including being Assaulted in my own Home , and to top it off yesterday , finding all my "stuff " in the carport .
The one with half the roof missing.
So I'm Homeless as well now.
Lucky , my daughter has a spare room .
Something that could have been straightforward and amicable , is now a bitter dispute and a solicitor's dream..
Anyway , sorry to hijack your post.
I hope you can find a solution for your
Woe's , as I'm sure I will.
Definitely helps to talk about things.
All the Best Mate , b.c.

I dont know about EMDR,but I'm certain talking and writing things down is essential. So doing all three is a great start,best wishes and all the best COD.

Sounds horrendous BC, as they say you can choose your friends but not your family. It's wives I've mostly had trouble with,but at least your daughter's on your side. Hoping things improve for you and wish you all the best.

 

[Killiney]

Sorry to hear and read the problems CoD and Big Chaang. Sometimes it’s good to get things off your chest in the way you are doing. It certainly puts into perspective the trials and tribulations of finding a Chelt winner. Thinking of you both!

 

[somer1]

Sorry to hear that @BigChaang and @ComplyOrDie, Hope everything sorts itself out and you get to take it out on the bookies at the Fest27!

Sorry to hear that BC, sounds horrible, but you can generally be sure that money will bring the worst out in people even within families.
I wish you well...

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Thank you guys, it is really appreciated.

@BigChaang I'm really sorry to read of your troubles. I hope it can all sort itself out for you.

 

[Benjy23]

Aye, all the best Big Chang. Sounds like a rough situation
