Hi @Sophia1, just got your message after 4am here.

Thanks for thinking of me in relation to my 'worry room' post. The post referred to an aspect of my life I have to keep to myself, which troubles me in an ongoing way, has for years now, but which has no answer or remedy really, and is kind of complicated. One of those 'adult' things we have to live with but can't really speak about. The 'worry room' gave me an opportunity to speak about it without speaking about it, if that makes sense. There was some other stuff in the post too but it's okay, I'm not too distressed, not in too much pain. Just somewhat relieved to be able to say some things in that space on the forum. And then walk away from the issues again for a while, as best I can.

I get a lot of support on the forum, it's really okay that you are not in a place to spread yourself and your support too far from home. As you said earlier, you are still in an acute stage of recovery from your surgery. Please, please try not to trouble yourself about how much support you are offering others. It's probably more than you think and, even in the best of circumstances, it's not necessary to be supporting others all the time. Just being here, writing our struggles, may be helping more people than we know. 

Hope you are sleeping peacefully as I write this middle of the night note to you. ox
