The time with my Children. I've lost my kids in CFS and I'm working really hard to get them back home, and the 3 hours by weekly is hard. I really miss being with them and hearing them say I love you mommy and giving hugs n kisses. I love those moments and just the cuddles on the couch and watching movies is the best. Ugh :weary::broken_heart: I'm so lost with out the.

Criticism from others. I used to be hurt or offended when criticized. Now, I try to consider if there is some truth in what is being told to me. Sometimes it’s bitter medicine.

I know that feeling. Real rest was something I didn’t understand until I had it. I’m glad sleep is a priority for you now.

I’m glad you kept fighting and found your way here. Sharing your story matters more than you probably realize. It gives hope to others. I’m proud of you.

I can really relate to this. When you get sober and start recovering, it shows you how different love feels when it’s real and unconditional. It’s a beautiful gift to find, and I’m glad you found it.

I’m sorry, I know that ache. Those three hours can feel like nothing and everything at the same time. Don’t quit on yourself, you’re doing the hard part right now, and it's all going to work out. Here for you!
