Dudes, thanks so much for the insights. Xoc, that's gotta be the cutest drunken message ever... You people rock without fear for the consequences.

ach, Jade. hugs firstly.

secondly, note that the mighty Xoc called you 'Brazillian babe'.

Lots of good advice.

It's kind of already been said, but listen to yourself, and try and do what you need, whether that's talking, distraction, hugs, physical exercise...

Me: friends, friends, friends. Different ones depending on whether i want to talk(sometimes drinking or smoking to get to the point whete i can bear it), drink/smoke/distract, dance, cuddle etc. I tend to splash out on self-medicating with tasty food. Cuddling up under duvets...physical contact really helps, lots of hugging, hand-holding...Long walks along the beach. Sitting and watching/listening to the waves. Telly/films that=comfort food.

Not much more to add, except to agree with the others that friends are very important. Keep yourself surrounded by people, you don't have to go through this alone.

This year seems to be very crap for everyone, between us my 2 best friends and myself have had to face a suicide, three elderly deaths, death of a baby, collapse of an 8 year relationship, betrayal, 2 floods, a fire, 2 car crashes, a mental breakdown and serious illness.

We're planning to write everything crap down on a piece of paper and then burn it on New Year's Eve!

Do you fancy joining us?

Spid, that is a really good suggestion. Doing something physical like that can be an excellent way of removing negative engergy and thoughts. Almost as if you are drawing a line under the past events and declaring that from this point onwards things will be different. It's a helpful/useful way of manafesting your will in the universe.

I have done this a number of times for friends, either at the Spring Equinox or at New Year for both magickal and non magickal friends alike. There is something really empowering and cleansing about fire. Just becareful of course. Too much fire is a bad thing (like I need to state it!)

Take care Jade, and hang in there. You will find the path to walk, it just might not be so pleasant geting there.

spider. great idea.

or another eg. yesterday I was strung out and talking with flowers about some painful/angry stuff. So he took me down to the beach to throw rocks into the water.

Concentrated on the anger, pain and then chucked it into the sea.

Really helpful. found myself really hurling some of them, something about the physical exertion is really releasing...
