I used to read non fiction, but either fall asleep and don't get back to it so kind of understand in a different way bloke

I agree Tyme, apon waking up this morning and looking in the mirror washing my face with warm water and combing my hair doesn't seem much, but letting my dog out does.

Some type of meaningful purpose or responsibility has changed me I guess.

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Whatever suffices my needs and the time and place, my illness was undiagnosed at that stage. It appeared to me at the end of the multimedia era not yet digital and I had no preference or speciality. I self diagnosed myself as non borderline personality at that time because I didn't accumulate toys and didn't have time for hobbies, I chose to study at an institute, fitted in at clubs and pubs as well. DJ sets were great and metal bands on tour I enjoyed but the late night irish punk set on tripple J was part of my heritage and favourite media.

Hi

This is new to me too. Still trying to find my way around.

I like it that everything is anonymous.

Hope you feel supported here. I do and I also feel I can help support others here too.

Hey @Sbee , how are you travelling?

I thought I'd check in with you to see how things are going. Do you have much on over the weekend?

Welcome to the forums @Someonetotalkto , it's so nice to have you with us. Do you have any particular themes, topics or things of interests which I could direct you to?

Just a hint, if you want to tag people into your posts so they get a notification, just type "@" in front of their username e.g. @Someonetotalkto

@tyme

Thanks for the tip mate. I'm not good at the shortcut stuff configuring hotkeys is good and shortcuts, don't have much use for them personally it does make sense that it's easier 😊.

We headed out of town for a drive and had a milkshake at a cafe that employees people with disabilities, thanked the waiter when we finished our milkshake and I played a game of totem tennis 🎾, played fetch with my jack Russell and the ball. Said goodbye and waved to the bloke on the lawn mower for doing a good job and taking care around the carpark.

Take care this long weekend on the roads people double demerits and enjoy yourselves.
