Hi Soulofthoughtz
It is really great to hear from you and I am so proud of you for sharing your struggles, you sure do have so much on your plate and have really had some battles to face.
That is such a wonderful attitude to have, that sharing your story may indeed help another, and the really wonderful thing about forums such as this is that so many others do read, to take comfort and to feel supported just from reading the words that you share and the battles you face, to know that they are not alone but mostly what those people are doing to help feel better.
Well your boy obviously found you at a time when you both needed each other, funny how sometimes the universe sends you a gift when you need it most, and one thing however small, that talks to your heart to provide hope and to provide a reason to stay.
Your back injury sounds horrific and has sure brought with it some mental health issues as well, I am so sorry that it took you down such a dark path that you had to go to the psychiatric hospital, although in saying that, at least you were supported and were in a safe place.
It is a very real thing being able to support everyone else, be a rock and a place of hope for others but to have no clue how to help themselves, I too have had to have some help in this space to be able to take some of the advice that I give others, but also to understand the advice, it really is two very different things.
We are here to listen if you wanted to share some of your story about your back injury, but only if you want to or if you feel it will help you.
Are you still able to work? Are you able to do even one of the hobbies you love doing?
Hope today is a great one for you and you can find a smile amongst the challenges.
Hugs to you
Sarah
