Tough eh Ed?

It is, she's like a daughter to us and you just want to be there for her.

What Mom said! Especially that first bit. Give yourself permission to feel off! Frankly I'd wonder if you were a cyborg if you didn't have even the odd fleeting moments of self pity or just plain old ARGH

The body doesn't let you get away with bottling up emotional effects for long either and soon they become physical - me thinks you got enough going on to be holding things back. I've found as unproductive or silly as it may feel sometimes the most helpful thing you can do for your body is have a good blub or tanty or scream or heck 'type'

And type, "HECK!!!"

I give my deepest apologies.

I shouldnt have posted like I did the other day, and I knew it at the time too.

I thank you all for your wonderful words of kindness and support. I am all good. Just super. May even go for a walk on my own down the road later in the rain. Sounds kinda nice.

Sorry guys 'n gals. A moment of weakness that I should have pushed harder to get through.

Pft. Your to hard on your self. There is no right or wrong way to get through this as long as you do get through it. We all have our moments of supposed weakness for what ever reason. It takes more strength to reach out, to trust in others than it does to bury it deep inside.

Don't rust

I know I should leave this to someone that you've actually met but come on girl let those feeling flow. You've got a few more rough times coming and from what I've seen of this thread there are plenty of willing shoulders for you to cry on. This is a sign that you are healing and its good to see. It also helps others to be realistic about what an off can really mean.

If that halos not stainless steel you might need to dunk your head in WD40 afterwards then.

Jeeze - we all have a melt down occasionally and sometimes here - you aint so special YOU cant have one too ya know - NOTHING to appologise for.... Nothing at all, we are all human....

Unless you are actually a cyborg

Shhhhhh Edbear... she may ask for her pocket money.

But your right. We have taken KP to our hearts.
But she is also a stubborn wee thing. It took me weeks to convince her to borrow a TV from me rather than sitting watching a little 14in screen. I was glad to get it off the bedroom floor but almost had to drag her kicking and screaming to pick it up. (didn't have a working cage to drop it off myself otherwise I would have).
She is very independent and hates relying on others.
But that is also what makes her so special - her love of life and her strong will to just get on with it.

KP - hang in there and do call on us if you ever need ANYTHING. You don't have to do it all yourself. Because you would be the first to come help us if the roles were reversed.


PS. I'm still waiting for that text

In this case I feel that accidents can happen, and we can't always avoid them.

At the risk of raining on everyone's love-fest, I'm disappointed to read this.

As disappointed as you are ... she is right .. some accidents just happen and can not be avoided .. that doesn't mean that katies couldn't be ... but let it rest ... katie is working through things ... and she must be allowed to do that.

+1 especially as no one knows exactly what happened.

Oh please....for once can you take your evangelistic wailing somewhere else. It's really starting to wear rather thin now!

Can you attach some glad wrap to your halo to keep out at least some of the rain?
Infact, you can buy those gald wrap bag things that go over salad bowls, they might be a better bet?

You have nothing to apologise for IMO. You're human and sometimes you will feel less than the best - we all experience the same thing.

I have to admire your upbeat attitude that you have 99% of the time - you are one spirited young woman. Most people would be filled with more self-pity in your situation.

It is good to read about you considering going for a walk, I hope that you are feeling a bit better - I hope that you are back to your normal self and back on a bike in time for next summer! Take it easy and keep healing!
