Thanks, Mags,, for another wonderful OP.
Listening to Enya and reading and posting SR. Visiting friends who have a very active bratty 2 year old, the grandchild arrived today and we won’t experience peace until we leave in 36 hours.
Listened to guided meditations, practiced breathing, and just let nauseated feeling earlier caused by anxiety by what something hubby said go away. I wondered where this emotional mountain came from. I explored it, the input to the pond.
Ahhh, the inflow was anxiety and nausea, a feeling of betrayal and abandonment.
The source was the little girl, abandoned, sexually abused, manipulated unaware and incapable of protecting herself and loving herself.
Examining, and NOT ruminating, the “source” of the inflow actually reduced the inflow of anxiety and nausea.
That step helps with not being flooded and overwhelmed.
Listening to guided meditation, placing headphones on, and coming here on SR are useful outflow avenues, as well as getting out in nature.
Feeling balanced, and blessed, instead of annoyed and anxious.
No alcohol included in the equation.
Much love to all

(((MLD))) I am sorry about your dog being ill. PJ I hope you feel better soon. Free I hope the toddler at least sleeps well ;0)
I hope everyone has a good weekend. I will make the most of it I can. We have my granddaughter tonight. She is sweet and fun to have around. On top of all my losses I had to have two molars extracted Wednesday. Now I am trying to heal and having to eat soft foods for weeks. I feel like I am being tested by the universe. But I won't drink.

Oh, CBS, that is a lot for someone to have to go through. 
So glad you are here and so glad you are sober, ODAAT. Love to you and all of your family. Stay close. 
💗
PJ, glad to see you and there may be a little improvement. Hang in there. I hope the med change helps as quickly as they can. 
Love, peace and prayers to you both and to anyone sufferring in any way.

Marty, sorry it’s not better news from the vets. Hugs dear Chauncey and Marty
Scott, you did well. It’s good you were sober and present.
Good post Free2bme, I like how you take check of why you’re feeling as you did.
Saou, hope you don’t have any more eye problems from the chemical spill.
I just heard a weird noise outside on the road. It could’ve been a noisy car or tractor ( it’s still dark) but I did wonder fleetingly if it was an alien. It’s what first comes to mind when you hear a noise you don’t recognise of course!

Got through cycle 2 of chemo and started radiotherapy, going to be getting treatment everyday for the rest of the month and it’s tough going. Very very tired and my hair hurts which is weird but I just have to power through!! At least I am sober. Hope everyone is doing well and much love xx

Well done MantaLady on getting through cycle 2 of chemo. you’re doing great, rest when you can and don’t forget to eat when you’re able. Keep your strength up, as my mum used to say. Sending hugs and love xx

Hello Weekenders,
CBS, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved mum. You've had a lot to deal with.
MLD, I'm sorry about your dear Chauncey. I hope he's not in pain and is still enjoying some quality of life.
MantaLady, all the best as you begin radiotherapy.
Free, I so admire your ways of soothing yourself.
I've been floundering for days. Feeling abandoned and lonely. I know it's not a full weekend now, but I'm checking in for today. My alcoholism drives me to isolate and I'm exhausted.
Love to all.
