four years is amazing achievement, that you should be greatly proud of. I understand the struggle, and like others have said don’t let the demons get the best of you. I know its hard and the margins of all or nothing is a fine line. Whether you know it or not at the moment, something is better than nothing. I think ppl who like to gamble are able to endure great strain in life from previous experiences and sometimes that makes ppl feel more is achieveable but they don’t necassarily have a true balanced look at life when under pressure. Don’t misunderstand me, I do believe ppl can be more focused and achieve things they may not have been able to otherwise if they weren’t under pressure, but all that said, seeking out alternative ways to relax and problem solve any issues are definately a better choice than to gamble. I greatly understand the struggle as many times I have been faced with having to dig deep within myself to to find physical and emotional energy to not only hold back the urge to gamble to sovle problems or as an escapism but also function in every day life and look after others. i’m glad you wrote your post as I believe this forum is a great place to speak out and seems to be a great community of helpful advice and support. you never know a few words could save a life. as far as financiasl help have you looked into local county council support services and benefits or taxable allowances? or possibly crowd funding or charity’s that offer raisning or support. I have a network that can find out relevant info if you need any advice.
hope things get better for you much love xThank you for your words, I shan’t be making any mistakes and ruining what I currently have. My family mean the absolute world to me and we’re the reason I stopped 4 years ago.
I can relate to what you said completely! It has been tough, but opening up and talking is my way of getting past it as well as remembering who I am and how far I’ve come!
Andy has kindly suggested some charities that may be able to offer help in getting her sensory equipment etc so Fingers crossed something comes up for us!
Ive never done a crowd funding thing before and I don’t have any social media so wouldn’t have any idea where to go even if I did, but thank you for the suggestions.
Means a lot just to talk 🙂
