That's so hectic re your mum. And I'm mindful that trauma and loss can carry on for a long time @Captain24 . I wonder if it's her way of making up for loss?
Would your parents fund the next day trip?
I have to clock off now, but will catch you soon.
PLEASE take care and I'll put your name on the Yarning Space list 🙂

Just the block and home and away. @AuntGlow
They were excited and now they are asleep.
I guess most of the day was a glimmer. Seeing the 3 sisters for the first time since I was about 7. Going in the things at scenic world especially the worlds steepest train. Just even driving there we were talking about how we live in a beautiful part of the country.

Why is it so hard to cope after such a good day? Yesterday was really good travelling to Katoomba and spending the day out with mum. She is a trigger but most of the day was ok with her until the last 45 minutes of the drive home when she had to one up me against my brother.
Today is really hard. I’m tired and totally unmotivated. I’m feeling really down and out. I just want to curl up and forget that I exist. It’s all too much to face.
I have managed to do the ironing and clean the disgrace of a kitchen but it was so hard and that’s all I can do. I had to force myself and now I just feel exhausted.
I really feel worthless and ungrateful that I feel so bad again today. Not everyone could do what I did yesterday. I’ve got nothing.
Am I just a selfish horrible person?
I know it’s nothing compared to what everyone else is going through. While I’m feeling like I don’t want to be alive right now I know it’s not as important as everyone else. I’m not worth as much as them.
I'm safe right now.

Hey @Captain24 I've sent you an email if you can take a quick look. I just wanted to talk to you there before your post goes live, I'm sorry if it was alarming or distressing not to see it here but it should be back up soon

@Captain24 is there something that you could do right now that might make you feel a fraction better? Even if its just 1% better.

Hi @Captain24!
I really love hearing that most of your day yesterday was a glimmer. The 3 sisters sounds like it was a real nostalgic moment for you. It is such a beautiful part of the country, isn't it? Do you have anywhere else you would like to explore soon? What's next on your list? 🤩
