Am Not Coping

[Zoe7]

My place is just some water damage @BlueBay - a lot of other places have mud and debris to deal with as well - so I was lucky

You can only do what you can do @Zoe7

Wow @Zoe7. That's awful. Did it come under the doors or do you now have leaks in the roof?
Poor Toby with the thunder. Although I think it was harder for you. You struggle in storms and winds. So well done for getting through the night.
I was thinking of you last night as was extremely windy. Was hoping if we had the wind, that it would stay away from your area.
Got to feel for the people whose houses were flooded. Must be an awful mess. And scary too.
Hopefully this crazy weather is over now and things will stay calm.
Sending you hugs and my love.♡♥♡♥

The kitchen had a lot of water leaking from the roof and some through the door. It also came down the chimney and into the loungeroom. The backyard was under water for a little while too. I hated the wind the most - it was pretty ferocious for most of the day and night.

Toby has never barked at the thunder before but he did Thursday night - he even looked scared the poor little thing. He snuggled in and I cuddled him so close @utopia He was like a fluffy pillow - not wanting to move but still trying to see where the noise was coming from - it really confused him.

There is still a fair bit of mess in the CBD and some more outlying areas. There is a lot of debris on some of our beaches and many of the roads are damaged from the flooding - will take some time to clean up.

@Zoe7 Hey Zoe7 wondered what happened to you last night now I know! Happy you and Toby are okay sorry to hear about your house though ... could have been worse but still. You were missed .... just so that you know 🙂 toasted a silent glass of water for you 🙂

[Zoe7]

That is super sweet @greenpea  It wasn't just the flooding - I needed some time out of the forum - I know you get how that can be!

How are you travelling at the moment?

[greenpea]

@Zoe7 Yes I do lol, just dont go for long will you 🙂 I am okish have some underlying anger issues which is common with bp1 *sigh* ... ridiculous a 53 year old woman who wants to put her hand through a wall ... *sigh*. On a bright note it is mothers day tomorrow and my ex has my son so I will just be with my daughter which will be very nice indeed.

I was thinking of you yesterday hun @Zoe7. So sorry you got hit by flooding water. I've also had it happen to my unit over in NSW long time ago. Scary and messy.

[Zoe7]

That will be a nice day for you tomorrow with your daughter @greenpea

I understand that feeling when you are angry - maybe try a pillow instead of the wall - less damage (to you and the wall) lol

Anger for me usually manifests itself inwards which also is not healthy as that is often when I spiral down as well - it is a fine line sometimes between anger and pain!

Toby is presently taking up the most room on the couch - I might have to move him shortly to lay down myself.

@Zoe7 Toby is such a sweetie poor lil man coping with all that wild weather. Sitting by his mum today. What a good boy he is even if he pushes you off the couch 🙂
