Title: Aaand another newbie to add to the pile.
Post by: Bo Snow on February 19, 2014, 04:38:08 AM: Hi y'all, i've done this the wrong way round. I posted a new topic first then found this bit..ooops ;D. Been meno for a while now and finding things getting harder to cope with so this seemed a good place to be. I finally feel i'm amongst others that know what i'm going through *big sigh of relief* :)

If any of you want to add to your emotions of pure turmoil, then look up a poem for animals called rainbow bridge, gets me every time, but so true. My adorable Westie is starting to slow down eleven in May, when his time comes I will be inconsolable we are having cuddles on the bed now. :)

Post by: Bo Snow on March 01, 2014, 09:13:49 PM: Sorry, just popped back to this thread. Thanks so much ladies for your warmth and welcomes. So sorry to hear about your horse Maryjane, that must have been so traumatic for you. Just thinking about it makes me teary. Why do all the awful things seem to come at us at once...
Just reading threads and finding answers to questions that I have, or simply knowing I'm not alone with the crippling anxiety that scared me witless when it started a year ago and the fuzzy head that makes my job so difficult, it's just good to know it's all 'normal' and i'm not losing the plot...oooh here comes another power surge *grabs paper and fans herself frantically* :thankyou:
