Sorry I'm Just Not Around Lately

[Jim]

Do have a rest as needed Anthony. Your first duty is always to yourself and your family. Kathy and myself will be thinking of you. Take good care.

Jim.

Take care during this rough time, Anthony. I hope this transition goes as well as possible for you and your family and look forward to reading your comments here whenever you're up for it.

No worries Anthony. Take care of yourself before you take care of others.

Hey Anthony
Be kind to yourself & I hope things settle down for you soon.

take care

of course we miss you, anthony, but we all want you to take care of yourself, even in that you are teaching that self-care is important. i am praying that things go smoothly for you, and you stay healthy, and you get to see your boys frequently.

Thanks all... and good to see that you do take notice, ie. take care of yourself first before trying to help others... its a must with PTSD, let me just say that, as I have plenty of experience at that one. I am doing well with the pressures on me, I just don't have enough to help others at present, and I know it too. I have shut down a couple of times when I have just had enormous stressors upon me lately, though recover near immediately thank goodness. Basically, I talk it all out and feel great to continue.

Once all this is done and finished, I should certainly have plenty of room once again to get in and help much more. I do like the break though, I must admit.

Its ok Anthony

Take care of yourself. And as you know I am very new to this forum. I am staying busy with your past writings right now. You may feel as if your not being active.

But you are

You laid out alot of information and I look foward everyday to looking at any thread you have written. You seem to be the clue here. But make yourself first. Your work is still helping others

Take care:claps:

Basically, I talk it all out and feel great to continue.

Oh yes talking is so very important, as we have discovered lately in our family! I am delighted you are taking care of yourself Anthony, please do have a wonderful rest and break.

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.

Jim.

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....!

Lisa.

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.
