Rambling Rosie's Retreat

Hey 👋

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Been super busy with family visits, cleaning for the family visits 😂, birthdays, Halloween...
Nice to have a minute to breathe again.

Hoping everyone is doing ok.

My therapy is starting on Monday. I'm relieved and nervous but I know it's gonna be good for me.

So. What have you all been up to? Spill the tea! (as my friends kids say)

No tea to spill here. The big excitement was that it snowed on Halloween.

I hope that the family visits and birthday celebrations were a lot of fun and not too stressful.

Good on you for taking steps to take care of yourself. Starting therapy, either for the first time or with a new therapist, is often nerve wracking... even when we know that it will help us.

Oh I'm absolutely not ready for snow yet. Another month and it would be welcome but I feel like we've only just said goodbye to summer and Autumn needs it's time.

It was all lovely but I'm super tired now. I'm used to being by myself most of the time so being surrounded by people, even my favourite people, was a lot.

Yes I'm trying to be prepared and think about what I need to say. I also know that afterwards I'm likely to be drained so I need to make sure I can give myself time to process.

I'm not ready for it either. Luckily we're warming up a bit to more normal autumn temps for the next several days.

Having some time afterward to process, especially when you're first getting started, is so important. I think draining is a good way to describe the feeling you can get after going over your history with another person.

Yes absolutely.
I'll try and get some little nice things in for some self care for after. Maybe some candles and cake 😊
I'll soon be back to being myself again I'm sure

How about "Christine?"

Hi
Yes Christine is a great book too.
There is actually a recently created thread "For The Love of Stephen King" where all of us fans gather to talk about his work. You might find it interesting 😊

I don't know how to link threads or I'd post it here for you to find but it's in the Playground Forum

Somehow being drained from something 'good' feels different that being drained from something "bad"...
(I don't like the word "bad", as it's often an unhelpfully judgmental descriptor... but I can't seem to think of a better way to describe it.)
And the recovery from a 'good-draining' is different too, as you often end up feeling better than where you started.
Even if the process has its unpleasant moments along the way, I think you'll feel much better before long...
I really admire what you're doing, Rosie. It's very inspirational, too! (I need to keep more of an eye on some of my own issues.)
Best of luck with the process, and the processing! I hope that you have a great week.
And a great weekend, too. Let's not get ahead of ourselves I guess... lol.

Thank you.

Yes I know what you mean. I'm doing something positive for myself but it's still going to take a lot of energy to achieve my goals. It may even feel worse before any improvement is felt.

Thank you for your continued kindness. It's always really appreciated

You are most welcome. It's my pleasure.
Thank you for all of your kindness and wisdom!

I'll be sending good thoughts on Monday... not sure if that can be converted to the necessary energy, but it can't hurt.
Even though an energy drain is likely inevitable, and I'm not sure there's any way around that, it sounds like you're very prepared, very realistic, and have a great perspective and attitude about the whole thing. You'll be a smashing success!

Well I'm not sure about that but I will try to keep you updated as best as I can.
I appreciate the good thoughts too
 
Yikes it's been a while 🙈

Hoping everyone is ok.
I apologise for not being in touch very much. I had a pretty bad couple of weeks tbh. Starting thinking no one actually really wanted to talk to me and when they did it was out of guilt or whatever. Not a great place to be in.

I had my first therapy session last week though and we're gonna work on my awful self esteem for starters.

I gave myself some quiet over the weekend. Time to really think and find some perspective. It helped. I've also been brave and opened up to people about how I've felt and it feels like the clouds are clearing a little. Cliché I know.

So this week I'm trying to be proactive. I dyed my hair today (and my bathroom 🙈). I ordered myself something fun that I've always wanted. Most importantly though I'm working on getting back in touch with people and trying to find my smile again.

I'm hopeful and it feels really good ❤️

Sending love 🥰

Hugs & Cuddles 🤗

I'm sorry to hear about the mindset you were in, but I am also very happy to hear about all the positive stuff you're doing for yourself and I'm always happy to talk/listen or whatever whenever you need it (y):)
 
It's December!
There's snow on the ground and magic in the air ❤️

I bloody love Christmas. I love how it encourages us all to be the best versions of ourselves. The chance to reconnect with people we miss.

I love the cheesy songs and movies. Curling up under a blanket with a hot chocolate watching the lights on the tree twinkle.

What are your favourite things about this time of year? If there are any of you that don't celebrate, what do your Decembers look like?

I know I've neglected this place - again - but I'm gonna try and post here more often and I'd love for you to share your thoughts with me ❤️
