Am Not Coping

[Faith-and-Hope]

Up for the crossword on Crosswords thread @Zoe7 ?

[Zoe7]

No thanks @Faith-and-Hope haven't been able to do a crossword since that thread started - too many people... and kind of lost my main distraction method then also 

[Zoe7]

You keep going though Hon. I'm going to log off again @Faith-and-Hope

[Faith-and-Hope]

I understand @Zoe7 ..... I felt it at the time too, but wasn't sure how to handle it ..... 😔

I'm sorry @Zoe7. I will shush. You play with @Faith-and-Hope. I am making a picture.

I did speak to someone and voiced my feelings about it - but it was done and couldn't go back and undo it then @Faith-and-Hope I am glad others are getting the benefit from the thread but still feel like WE lost something - I didn't want to say anything to you at the time as I really didn't think you minded. Now I know differently I can actually say that I felt like I/we lost something that was 'ours' - that may sound selfish but it really kept me going more nights than I could count. 

[Zoe7]

@Phoenix_Rising not at all - you 2 continue - I don't want to do a crossword anymore but that is my issue and nothing to do with anyone on that thread - you guys enjoy is as I once did - I just can't see it the same anymore

@Zoe7 ..... this thread is called Am Not Coping, and doing the crosswords was a coping method ...... I think that is important to acknowledge, and I am happy to continue with crosswords on this thread too ..... along with riddles, jokes, soduko ..... anything else that teaches people who come past this thread coping methods that they may not have considered ......

I think that is really important.

I was hoping your feelings would settle and you could come across to the Crosswords thread, but as soon as you responded here instead, I "heard" you ....

Sorry Hon - that was really the beginning of the 'slide' here for me so I can't do it. I know it is a really little thing for most people but for me it felt like one more thing taken away @Faith-and-Hope and at the time it was pretty demoralising and that feeling has certainly 'hung around'- so still not coping with it - but that is my problem to sort out.

Riddle -

This five letter word becomes shorter when you add two more letters to it .....

What is it ?
