Well, I have been knocked out basically for the past two days nearly, quite ill from all the stress this crap is causing me. I know I have been moody the past month since all this stuff has been building in me, and I do apologize to anyone who has been on the end of that with me. I do try and keep things quite balanced here, but I know my general situation will effect things I say and do here.

Hopefully all this will be over in the next two weeks, so i will be back to some sort of normality once again. Rough guess, it should take me an extra week after all the nonsense in life is finished.... can't wait.

Got kerrie down here this week and next week moving her stuff from the house, then I have other issues with Logan going on at present, yeh... teenagers just know how to snowball life, then things should settle down for me again. Can't wait....

Anyway, take care, and I will get to peoples posts eventually, just not real well at present to take on others issues.

Do take good care of yourself and your family right now Anthony. Don't put any unneccessary pressure on yourself please. Can't speak for everyone here, but myself, Kathy and Evie are fine without you answering any of our posts, indefinitely. We are only concerned for your health and well being.

Hey Anthony

Sounds really crappy for you! You are well focused on the fact that it will be over soon though, and that's good. You know what, though... I feel a bit cheeky saying as this forum is yours.... but it's okay to be getting some support here for yourself as someone with PTSD as well. You spend so much time helping others... don't forget the favour will always be returned here if you just need some you time on the boards. Hope that doesn't sound condescending- just wanted to remind you....!

Hey Anthony,

Here's me getting caught up a little. Don't be so hard on yourself about your time out. The forum has grown so fast, it's incredible how well you keep it going.

Make sure you are getting the rest you need.

Wishing you all the best over the next few weeks Anthony. I pray everything goes well. I agree with Piglet, mustn't be so hard on yourself, this forum is quite the undertaking and you have managed exceptionally well. Take care knowing you are in my thoughts.

Hi Anthony,
It's a shame you have to go through this situation, but maybe things will turn out for the better in the long-run of life/ or give you more life-knowledge. Everything happens for a reason I guess. You have my support and I wish you well through this arduous time.

Anthony,

It is nice to hear you are taking time to manage the stressors in your life. You have done well at creating a community here on the forum where we care about and support one another. Where you may not be able to answer posts there are others of us who are able to provide support for one another. All be it we do greatly appreciate your posts and the input you provide, you are much more valuable and it is you we care about most. I am sorry you are having to go through this hard time. And "boy oh boy!!!" do I ever understand your talk of teens. Bless their hearts they can be such a royal pain in the buttox!! I wish you well and hope things are better for you soon.

Anthony, I'm sorry I haven't responded any sooner to let you know you're very well thought of through anything and everything.

We want nothing but the best for you, so you continue to take care of your health, loved ones, responsibilities, life, happiness and so forth.

Rest, Nutrition, Exercise, Peace, Loved Ones, Responsibilities, Fun, Humor, Friends, Trials & Joys......All very Good for you Anthony, and I'm hoping and asking you to embrace it all, for as long as you need or desire, and your work will come later. You take good care of your health and happiness and you'll be able to continue to contribute to the happiness of your little ones. Oh ya' and your not so little one.

Anthony, your work, though you enjoy it, will all fit into place in Your Health And Time. Now, please you always take good care and rest.

Hope

Anthony,
I just discovered this part of the forum because, as usual, I was late for the live chat. I hope yer doing better, even when yer down, but still posting, it helps my frame of mind. Sometimes I start bumming cuz it's been soooo long since I've been in any kind of meaningful relationship, and with the things going on in my life, it probably won't get any better, but I'm always reminded that, with relationships comes heartache, all to often. PTSD seems to rob us of the things we find most valuable in life, I guess mine is having someone to share the good and bad times with, and both seem so hollow when there is no special Love to embrace them together with. But, that's another story for another day, I'm supposed to be supporting you right now, not bumming myself out.
Your input is invaluable to us all, but if you don't take care of yourself first, you'll find yourself slipping into the darkness that all of us know, and all of us fear, and all of us try to avoid. Stay in the light Anthony, there are a small community of us that need you, and we can keep the light burning for you til yer able to pick up the torch again and lead us. I won't say, "get well soon", I'll say, "get well". Less pressure using that wish for you, but the wish is the same.
Your Comrade-At-Arms,

Thanks all... always much appreciated. Well, I finished the cleaning the house now, so its ready for hand back. Kerrie gave me hell like you just wouldn't believe whilst she was down packing her stuff, but you get that I guess with seperation and all. I got to see my kids, that was the thing that kept me going the most and stopped me shutting down during all the shit I think.

Well, bounced back much faster than expected actually, and feeling pretty funky once again, have more time now to get focused back to this forum, thank goodness, as I do dearly miss reading and writing here daily.

I guess I better start in the diaries first, as they are often my priority, so I am back now and in pretty much full flight once again.... hopefully Kerrie won't cause much more shit for me, otherwise I am good and ready to roll once again.

I think I will just pay the damn money to have cleaners come in next time... way too much work. Another two days of wasted time cleaning a house.
