Hi ladies,
I've been pretty quiet anyway but I may be missing more. I'm finding myself in an overwhelmed over-emotional, tied up, ready to break (or so it feels) but not in anyway in danger of self-harm. Thought I'd throw that in in case anyone worries about that.
Just a lot has come to the surface now that school isn't preoccupying my time. And lots of stressers this year. So I'll be sorting that all out. Art journaling may play a role, but may not make it to the gallery.
Basically I'm stepping back though it kills me I'm not going to get my challenges done again. But I need to do it for me.
I thank you all for being here. You have truly become my support system. I'll be back and probably pop a comment here or there. Being an encourager is one of my healing paths so I'm not stepping away from that.
Anyway just wanted to share.
 
I hope you are able to find some peace. It totally makes sense that things would come up and be overwhelming now that you got the major hurdle of school out of the way. We are always here if you need us!!!
 
Thanks Kimberlee. After I wrote that I realized that it did make sense. Forgot about this part.
 
Take care of YOU, Carilyne. Come back when you can, we'll be here waiting for you :).
 
Thank you Diane. Kimberlee what you said really helped. I needed that validation. The day slowly improved. But I'm taking it easy for a couple days.
 
You've described perfectly how I have always felt when something big and time consuming has come to an end. It's like being at loose ends until you find a new norm and you will, hugs!
 
Like the others have said....just take care of yourself - no worries for taking a little "break" - we all need to do that from time to time from scrapping and the communities we love. We hope to see you pop back in when you are ready!
 
Oh Carilyne, take care of yourself first and foremost! Now that school is done and out of the way, everything that you've put on the backburner is now coming to the foreground and it can be really stressful to deal with things that you put aside while school demanded your attention and energy. Hugs and take your time.
 
as someone who is going back to school after many, many years ... i get it. i just did a summer session that took the wind out of me. have enjoyed 2-3 weeks off and classes start again tomorrow. the ups and downs of dealing with it all can be overwhelming for sure and I'm just get started on my path so i can only imagine how it feels to be where you are Carilyne. hope you can get to a calm, less stressful place and like kimberlee said ... we are always around. well wishes for you ... :beat

Hope you are feeling more yourself . Bask in the achievement of what you have accomplished ! Bask it the friendships you have, both here and in your non digi life ! Allow yourself to just be you , if you have a depressing or troublesome thought, then let it come ......and go, and it will go .Take care and thank you for being you.
