Subject: Back at my parents' place

I didn't have anywhere else to go, so I did go back to my parents' place.

I feel like I'm getting nowhere. :/ Certainly I need to stay in Berkshire so I'll see what I can do to get back there when I can.

In the meantime, there is one good thing about this; I'm going to be eating properly for a while. My parents won't have it any other way, and to be honest, I'm glad about that. (I really haven't been eating as much as I need to.)

One other good thing; at least I have motivation now to look for somewhere else - motivation has been a big issue for me lately and while it's not going to be fun living here, that very fact should provide me with the motivation I need. Weird how you can get good things out of bad like that.

While I was making this post, my friend [livejournal.com profile] beckyrachel called; she was concerned about me given my last post. I'm really, really thankful that she did so as I may very well have not been at my parents' and I might have needed someone to talk to; it's really nice to know that people care about me. (Well, I know you all do anyway, but it's really helpful to have that reminder.) Thank you, Becky - and Stacy too.

(By the way, you'll notice that whenever I've referred to my parents' place since last year, I've always referred to it at "my parents' place" and not "home", even though most other people would. That's deliberate; home for me for the last year has been in Reading, and to be honest I still feel that Reading is my home. So I'm not coming home; I'm going away from it. In case anybody was curious about that turn of speech.)

I'm sorry to hear this- I know what you mean about having mentally moved out of your parents' home. I hope your stay with them does mean you have space to find your motivation and take care of yourself.

I know the feeling, re: the parents' place not being home.

I hope everything works out, and I'm glad there are good things about the situation.

I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately. Things are a mess, and I *still* am out of spoons.

But just popping in to give you *HUGS* and wish you strength and luck and give you all my wishes in resolving the housing situation soon.

I wanted to say *mega hugs* and I'm sorry you are having a rough time. I think of you lots and often and have missed you on IRC lately.

I hope things get better for you very soon. Hang in there, OK?

Love & Huggles,
