Am Not Coping

[Zoe7]

I can't deal with other people needing support and then asking for it myself @Snowie so I leave - even when I know it is not good for me - it's a no-win situation - I need the connection to stay safe but sometimes that connection means I am further triggered - everything seems so hard atm 

[Snowie]

Totally understand @Zoe7, and I know it is sometimes hard for us to think that we deserve that support.

I will say that, whatever I am going through I will be here to support you. One of the reasons why I came back so soon. This place is a lifeline for me, but I do feel better when I can support and help others on here, you included. 

[Zoe7]

I feel exactly the same about you @Snowie - I do often sit back when you are already receiving support elsewhere - but I know you will reach out if you would like support from me too - as I do with you. It does get too much for me sometimes when there are many people needing support and I don't have the energy or am in the rightheadspace to help with supporting those people - that is when I withdraw the most - it isn't personal it isjust that I can't deal with other people and stay safe myself - yet again here though it is a catch-22 because then I don't ask for help. You and @Faith-and-Hope are among only a handful of people that I can try to put my own stuff aside for to support when I can - as I know you do for me also - some connections are stronger than others - that is human nature - and that means a lot to me

Couldn't have written that better myself @Zoe7 

[Zoe7]

hahaha @Snowie maybe we should write a book someday lol

[Faith-and-Hope]

A book series probably .....

@Zoe7 @Snowie

[Snowie]

ohh @Zoe7 that would be a HUGE book with lots in it. Could fill one easily!!

[Zoe7]

I have already written enough for at least one book @Snowie @Faith-and-Hope - could you imagine how many books would be in a series between the three of us 

[Snowie]

@Zoe7, I just feel for the person who would have to proof read it all
