Anyone else cracking open a bottle at 3 in the afternoon? Feeling shitty. I don't even know why really, just been feeling shitty alot lately. I shouldn't have started drinking, just one I tell myself, just one because I have to function tonight when my boy comes over... i just want to go to drink and pass out. Anyone around?

Not doing much at all tonight @Anastasia @saltandpepper . Been a quiet day in fact. Think perhaps an early night. Little Holly has finally settled down. Her new meds have a side effect of upregulating her central nervous system. Gosh ... ptsd does that ... so she will match me now 🐶😔💕. On a better note though ... I think the meds may be helping with her breathing issues. Unless its just wishful thinking on my part? I guess time will tell.
Thats very noble of you @Anastasia to want to diversify into the MH field. You certainly have the experience, the empathy and the skills. I think you would be perfect, if thats what you want to do. And I expect your volunteer role with Sane as a Guide is also beneficial in opening up possibilities for you in future.
