Introduction

Hi guys I am new here but just skipped over introducing myself and threw myself straight into the forums so let's rewind a minute.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder in 1990. It changed my life and not in a good way. My mother said "now you will never do anything with your life" and my Aunt said "we should put her in an institution". It was right then that I decided that I would live the best life I possibly could with this illness. I since met and married my husband and we had 3 gorgeous children who have all now reached adulthood. I have been in and out of hospital a lot since around 2008 and somewhere along the way had BPD added to my diagnosis. I enjoy art and crafts, playing computer games and watching tv. I was working with a psychologist and we were going to work on childhood trauma as I grew up in an abusive household but I kept getting sick so we are currently on a break. Not sure if I want to go back to therapy at this point in time. Not sure what else to add so I will just leave it here. Feel free to ask questions x

Hey @Oaktree , think Ive caught up.. got some on other thread. How was your day mate.

Well you all proved something last night, this is a town where minds can be truly set free,

differences settled in the street, and were all sharing drinks that night.

Against the doubters, in its own mysterious way. It works.

Un judged, free expression, in a capsule of fun and respect. Its gold.

Thanks @LeChuck @Sophia1 @Oaktree and all Nite folks..

@tonys

the Guardian ...Justice of the Peace...Magistrate will not be impressed if receives a request to repaint all town signs and posts with new names and colour.

@tonys @Oaktree @LeChuck

Perhaps we can have another vote for introducing some street art.

Respecting all cultures.

@LeChuckYou have been appointed Chief town decorator of street art. Makes sense as you are town sherriff when you are here.

I am sure that you have been to enough art therapy and boundary setting, group therapy sessions to be excel at street art.

Pay back for all the punishing hours of therapy.

I am sure that there will be another ceremony on your return.

Check in with our Ceremonies Manager

@Oaktree is Ceremonies Manager as well as cafe owner

Why not have a royal commission that seems to be flavour of the month

into what subjects will be acceptable for street art.

Do we need to introduce a constitution?

No best not go there either.

Can you imagine the number of posts we would have to catch up on.

We would all be on stress leave.

These are sticky notes only as reporter is still recovering from covid (apparently) diagnosed by purple corset wearing barmaid and now new self proclaimed owner of Meggles cafe.

I have a new building with super duper new office for The Tribune,on the outskirts of town. I have been banished to the outskirts so that I can't hear all of the news possibly.

I have a shiny new machine and paperwork.

Still using sticky notes at the moment which you will find around the town as I stumble between the 2 bit saloon, debatable Meggles Cafe, improvement on previous diner.

I also am attempting to visit asylum out of town??

Guess what I can't find it.

Where is the sign post @tonys ??

Another post to follow

Re: Introduction

Oh @Sophia1

Laughing so hard at your last post.
All be on stress leave indeed! Can’t have that…

How’s the Covid? Are you recovering? You seem in fine fettle this morning. I am all for Purple as you may remember. I think that’s why you mentioned it! Love the sticky notes, it’s like following your trail. A treasure hunt almost.

Love you,

Meggle

Re: Introduction

Well @Sophia1

On my last post I couldn’t remember the word scavenger - it’s a scavenger hunt not a treasure hunt. It was right on the tip of my tongue.

I agree - We need a special place to keep the wooden spoon. Someplace safe but easy to access. I think we should dip the spoon in sparkly purple paint or perhaps gold paint? What do you reckon?

Some serious thought needs to go into where to put it. Maybe on the mantle piece in the saloon?

Re: Introduction

Oh I feel another ceremony coming on. The placement of the wooden spoon
