A long rave

@Mazarita @Faith-and-Hope thanks guys. Tonight's been hard and I cant sleep. I think it's time I call a helpline

[Mazarita]

Sounds like a good plan, @The-red-centaur. Hope the hard feelings subside and sleep comes for you soon. 

[Faith-and-Hope]

I agree.

Morning everyone.

Wondering if anyone is up and around at this early time? @Mazarita maybe. Kind of hoping for you all that you're sleeping though

[Mazarita]

Good morning, @CheerBear 

Amazing timing. Just woke up. Back to bed soon but here for now. How has your night been?

[CheerBear]

So good to see you @Mazarita. I slept well last night and when I woke there was a c-link email waiting for me. I have been approved for the claim I was making. I am full of feelings right now. It's relief in a huge way but some sadness too or just a heavy or something. Far out.

[Mazarita]

@CheerBear, that is awesome news that you have been approved. Understand too some mixed thoughts arising out of it. Big hug for it all ways round. 

[CheerBear]

Did you get that when yours went through @Mazarita, the big and mixed feelings? I panicked when I saw the letter. Maybe it's just panic settling. Thank you for understanding and the hugs you always give ❤

How was your sleep last night?

[Mazarita]

It took me a long time to apply for it, @CheerBear, mainly because I couldn't identify with what it kind of meant. So I struggled through further years and work breakdowns. In retrospect, if I had been given it a long long time ago, my life would have been a lot less extreme and mad. Mostly it was the biggest relief of the universe when it came through. I had to apply twice to get it, took about 18 months all up. It was desperately needed so that made it a pretty glad-making experience in the final count. My life in the years since has been so much more livable than ever before. I'm really happy for you. It seems likely to make life quite a bit easier for you. 

I have had about 3 hours sleep overnight.

Thank you for sharing @Mazarita. I am surprised that it happened so quickly and without a hiccup for me. Even my age was against me. I don't know what this says about me though I know it will give me security and stability in a huge way and take massive stress and pressure off. I couldn't have done what I needed to do without it and I really honestly thought that anymore being pushed to would be enough to be the end.

I'm so teary but I think it's strange tears of something actually going well. Something feeling secure again. A stress, an huge stress, taken away. You and others here have helped me with this one in a huge way and I really appreciate it.

Sorry, I'm all weird this morning. I wasn't expecting to see that news just yet.
