Should I just suck this up?

OK, this isn't easy for me to write bcas I respect police also but this is my situation.

I aparantly unlawfully entered a friends property, that's right a friends property. He wasn't home and I wasn't believed. Anyhow I was put in a mental institution. I preferred the hospital choice over the police station choice thinking I'll be in there for a couple weeks.

3 months later I came out overmedicated feeling like shite...misdiagnosed with a mental illness as a " safety net" seriously!!!!

3 months of my life where I couldn't work, and live my normal life. Inclosed in a small space, going crazy.

Should I just " suck this up". ?

Wishing all my supporters a very merry Christmas and happy new year.

I went to my grandmothers for Christmas and spent it with family eating, drinking and playing a card game.

Today everyone went fishing on my uncle's boat but I declined and stayed home. The weather was predicted to be bad and there were a lot of us going to be on the boat. It didn't rain or storm in the end.

I don't go back to work until the 17th and going to have to find things to do until then.

Enjoy the holidays everyone!

Dear MM~

You have been so much happier and your circumstances have been so much better of recent times I've not posted here for ages. I've also been glad to see you have attracted a circle of good freinds

The difference from when you first came here is remarkable and you have changed greatly (with strength, endurance, imagination and even a dash of humor).

It is not a sign I don't take an interest in your welfare, which, true, sometimes still has some ups and downs. It's that you are now in charge of your life and I know you are always equal to them

So today I will write for once, just to say I'm glad your Xmas went well, thought you were very sensible not going fishing and hope you enjoy your holidays.

Hello Dear Magic and your beautiful sfriends...

Merry Christmas lovely lady....I am sorry I didn’t pop in earlier to wish you one...

Your Christmas Day with family sounded so nice and your words have a happiness shining through them...

Fishing, I’ve not done much of it... The few times I went, excitement set in when I caught a fish...even more when I let it go....😂😂...

I hope you enjoy your time off from work and can do lots of things that you like doing...

Family togetherness is so special...

Kind thoughts dearest Magic...with a hug🤗....I need one so you have no choice but to receive it with my warmest care..I am so very proud of how far you have come....a true Warrior woman...

I want to wish you and everyone reading a Happy New Year.

I have been fo,lowing your thread since the early days and even though I don’t

post much I read and pop in and find your willingness to change and to be determined and hopeful is admirable.

Hey our Magic Warrior 🐒 and all the other lovelies here and reading ☺

I read Magic so know what's happening hun.

Sounds like you had a good Xmas. Yip I reckon good call so many in the boat and possible weather.

You mentioned checking the scales daily. Of course entirely your call lovey I've heard that which I agree can be damaging because especially with females daily our weight can change one reason can be fluid another monthly curses if we haven't been to the toilet etc. It can be demoralising.

Oh when I hear of you swimming it gives me such good feelings. Also miss that I can't well until my hip gets fixed maybe then. Just being in water gives me the ultimate peace. It's great isn't it. Did you know walking in water has a higher resistance than on the ground. I don't doubt it it's hard but nice too.

Good hearing you and Mum mostly are in an ok place.

I think go with your heart where you want to live. I hear many people prattle on about such and such an age living at home. So what! I think many seriously just need to pull there heads in full stop 😆 you still have your independence which is the main thing aye. You also have your freedom.

Back to work will be here before you can blink geez it goes quickly.

Yip you've pulled out of very dark places and yes Grandy 👩‍❤️‍👩 agree fully you're a serious magic warrior girl.

Good on ya girl keep powering on.

All the best wishes love and support always. Everyone best wishes for a happy healthy new year. Soz can't offer wealth I booked that one 😄

Oh oh Grandy this is for you 🤗 and a spare few for anyone else needing a you beaut virtual hug.

Hi all,

Much appreciation to all that checked in and wished me a merry Xmas.

Ive been here almost 5 years and a lot has improved in that time. Things aren't so desperate these days and I've accepted a lot of what I can't change, it's not such a shock anymore and the future isn't as bleak as it once was. Things at home have improved a lot and there's not much pressure on me. I really don't have as much to complain about.

Its great to see some of you still here from my earlier days where I was blabbing about a lot of things really.

Ive stayed pretty much man-free which has been pretty good a lot of the time.

DB yes I believe walking in water does have more resistant, I do that at times when I go to the pools.

So, were almost at the end of 2021 thankfully I can put that lockdown behind me and hope there isn't more on the horizon.

I don't know if I'm a warrior gal these days I just simply get by doing as minimal as possible lol....I'm not a hard worker any more I just cruise ..

Well I wish U all a happy end of year and best wishes as we embark on a new year 2022!! Let's hope it's better than the last one!

🙉🤎

Hi all,

Im lying in bed and can hear fireworks in the background and ppl from a party somewhere close to me.

Upon reflection of 2021 I hated being on stay at home orders, state in lockdown unable to go anywhere so I'm super glad to see the back of that.

Cheers to a hopefully better 2022! We are almost at the end of 2021 hooray!

Im just celebrating at home, might watch the fireworks on tv and have cracked open a bottle of sweet wine.

Happy new years everyone and especially those of you who have stuck closely by me these past 5 years!!!

Hello Lovely Magic, and everyone....🎉🤗..

Happy New Year lovely Magic...and everyone...

I was the opposite and liked the lock downs...it made me feel less like a slave to my anxiety...I am pleased for those who are now out of stay at home / lock down recommendations.....and are now out n about enjoying their days..Please just remember to be mindful of your health...

Hehe..,I don’t have any water around that I can walk in...except from when it rains..,walking in muddy, sloshy water is supposed to be beneficial for us...I do it more for the feeling of being grounded to nature with mud squishing between my toes.....😂😂..

Enjoy your day today everyone...A start of a new year?...hmm let’s all hope that it’s a great year this year....

We are all breathing, feeling the sun on our skin, talking to our friends on here with love, care and support...I think that a beautiful start to our new year...

Hugs, care and love everyone...🤗🌹💜..

Grandy.,

Hi all,

This covid situation is frustrating as hell. Now there's no work in the office all of Jan. There's only work from home and I'm not set up to do that plus I prefer the atmosphere of the office.

Had a nice Lebanese dinner at a restaurant with family last night. It was the most I'd spoken to my youngest brother in a while which was good. He lives in another state and drove down for the holidays.

New year's and Christmas is now behind us for another year.

Im disappointed I won't have a job to go to all of January. More time for me I suppose.

Hope you're all well.
