Hi Fruit Loops! Looks like there is some great crochet going on! Well done!
Just wanted to pop on and say a delayed CONGRATULATIONS on reaching……
well 48022 now! But still had to celebrate!
Well done on all of you both past and present for making this and continuing to make this a safe space for EVERYONE to come and share their concerns, but also to enjoy friendship and laughter!
I apologise for not being on here as much as I would like too. But I just don’t have the oomph to do it these days! But I do pop on when I feel able and I try and keep an eye out on what’s happening. LP is always around for when needed, just tag me!
Sorry to hear that there’s lots of worries over waiting for results. Galligirl I’m not sure about your feelings on counselling. But if it’s something that you are open too, I would say now might be a good time to look into it. It’s a safe place to scream and shout and be 100% honest about how you feel. I know how hard it is to cope with all those pent up feelings and getting frustrated with loves ones saying they understand when they couldn’t possibly understand! But that’s not their fault, what they really mean is they want to understand so they can help and support. I found that once I had really opened up to my counsellor I felt less frustrated by my family who were only trying to help!
Of course the Fruit Loops are always here for you and you know you can always message me. As of course we DO understand…. Boy do we understand!!
Anyway love and Hugs to everyone. Well done Ladies on reaching this latest milestone. Hopefully I can get a bit more involved before reaching the next celebration! Not that far away from 50000 posts now!! That would be amazing!!
Take care Everyone. Keep crocheting or doing whatever makes you happy. BoxOfFrogs I used the Fimo when I was younger, I’ll show my age now. Do you remember the British Gas characters? Frank the turtle was one. In fact they are using the same sort of characters on tv now advertising BBC I think! Well I made Frank the turtle and some of the other animals. Gave them to mum as a gift at the time, they were pretty good fun to make! Enjoy making your frogs! Xxxxx
I will look into counselling - I have been diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder take medication but still seem to be in a constant state of confusion. On the outside I think I come across as 
sort of got it all sorted sort of person….but in my head….I really am all over the place. Part of me wants to run away and live in a forest all by myself…after having 2 cancers I might just do that!pend the next 10 years trying to crochet a scarf!
Galligirl I know soooo many people who outwardly project being fine when inside they're in pieces. Just now I'm down-playing what I'm going through to try and protect my friends. I've had a lot of counselling and psychotherapy (I had a REALLY shitty childhood) and the one thing I learnt is you have to face up to things before you can move on from them. I can't understand your cancer journey, it sounds weird but in some ways I feel it's easier just getting an incurable diagnosis at the start. But I think counselling would maybe help, and even my bad experiences of counselling didn't harm me. So what's there to lose in trying? You could go and be a wood fairy in the forest, then venture out and try again!
On a lighter note, I now have two panels of my first froggie, and he's a little bigger than expected!
Night all
