So I’m not in a bad place mental health wise, not perfect, but not bad. However I know how easy it is to plummet if not careful. This weekend will be a massive trigger for me, I know it will be because it is every year. It’s Father’s Day on Sunday...

I really want to say, push through it and face it.
But if it only will end up in sure meltdown, then it's not worth it. However, if you can find the strength to at least go through a quarter of the day normally, maybe good. Next year add an hour.

@SW-User I know how it will go, it has for the last 13! Just think it’s one of the days that will always be too raw for me

SW-User

@SW-User Then how about we just relax indoors, some netflix, disney, and chips. I mean you, not we. Dont kill me

SW-User

@SW-User lol I won’t kill you yoda

Aww I'm sorry your father is a trigger. Do what is best for you. Melt downs take their toll.

SW-User

@TexChik yea, I just don’t think it’s worth putting myself through it

TexChik · F

@SW-User Nope, when mine happen I am sick for a month

I’m so sorry for your loss hun. Honestly, if it were me, I would probably hide until it was over. It’ll get easier with time, believe me. 🫂

@SW-User I know exactly what you mean 😢 my uncles death brought it to the surface last week but I’ve pushed that shit back down where it belongs.

SW-User

@zerofuks2give that’s what I need to do, bury it and avoid

zerofuks2give · 41-45, M

@SW-User it’s all we can do 😕

Fluffybull · F

Personally, I'd stay in and read books, watch TV, have naps, have snacks 👍

SW-User

@Fluffybull tv isn’t good, all the adverts and programmes showcase it, but Disney+ is my friend

Fluffybull · F

@SW-User Oh, right. Watch dvds then 👍

Jeephikelove · 46-50, F

I say go off grid. 🤗

SW-User

@Jeephikelove I think that might be the plan

Minxxy8o · 41-45, F

SW-User

@Minxxy8o sending hugs, it’s really hard and I’ve been doing it for years

Minxxy8o · 41-45, F

We can't really tell you what to do but we can anticipate the gravity of emotions and I don't think its worth it. Be safe girlie x

SW-User

@DrScissorhands that sounds like a plan…or I can hop to your time zone and just fast forward the day 🤗

DrScissorhands

@SW-User That'll work best. Join me in the future 😌

I kinda think push through, maybe if your’e on your own you might just have a meltdown anyway? And then there’s no one around. But it’s up to you.

SW-User

@Strongtea there’s always that chance but it’s easier without the constant reminders

Strongtea · 22-25, M

Sure, but it’s gonna happen every year, however, it’s totally up to you, you’ve got to make yourself happy, so do that. Hope it’s ok.@SW-User

OneDayMore · 36-40, M

Off grid!! Hide away!! You can pretend the world doesn’t exist. I will be. Second year for me.

SW-User

@OneDayMore sounds like a plan…good luck to you too

OneDayMore · 36-40, M

Binge and purge@SW-User

Good luck

PervertedPrincessOfDeath · 26-30, T

You got daddy issues too? Same bro same. I'll give you a two day long hug to keep your mind off it.

SW-User

@PervertedPrincessOfDeath I’ve got parent issues. Thank you 🤗

PervertedPrincessOfDeath · 26-30, T

@SW-User I've got multi generational family trauma. So i get you. You are safe here.

BlueVeins · 22-25

have you ever seen [i]Gravity Falls[/i]

SW-User

@BlueVeins no, any good?

BlueVeins · 22-25

@SW-User Incredibly so. If I were you, I'd hole up & binge watch that all weekend. Very few dads, either.

SW-User

@BlueVeins thank you, I might just do that

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 26-30

*hugs you* I say you could go off the grid and watch something you love and cook yourself something nice or just order a fancy meal. ❤

SW-User

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether thanks lovely, I don’t cook but the rest sounds good 🥰

Elessar · 26-30, M

Ideal imo would be something that keeps you busy and at the same time away from society/TV/internet for the day.

Considering that it's summer, a one day hiking trip somewhere in the mountains + fancy dinner somewhere over there would be my choice, personally

SW-User

@Elessar I think a long hike sounds good tbh, it’s meant to be perfect weather for it too

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

Oh Sophie, I am so sorry. I want you to get through this as well as you can. We will all be there when you come back 💜💗💜.

@SW-User so glad to see you back 💜

SW-User

@iamonfire696 thank you 😊 it was definitely the right thing to do

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@SW-User I am glad you took the break you needed 💗

Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M

Yeah since I went to therapy now when I hear people saying happy fathers day it triggers me a bit as well. I feel angry.

Mysterion619 · 26-30, M

Sorry for asking but why don't you like father's Day

SW-User

@Mysterion619 because my dad died when I was young

Mysterion619 · 26-30, M
