Trying makes it worse

Hey @Appleblossom

About 30 mins ago I was standing in my kitchen.

I feel much better today than previous days, thanks to a great night's sleep... Finally.

I feel more 'me.'

I'm not happy me (yes the positive word can feel contrived - I get that) tho.

Melancholy.

I'm not sure I fully understand the meaning of the word - it was the best I could come up with, with where I'm at today.

I've never heard of the etching Durer. 1514??? Incredible.

I wonder if that's a compass in her hand? I bought one 3 days ago. It looks like her legs were once shackled & now have been released.

It's not about giving up - is it?

I'm seeing illusion & dreams.

@Appleblossom @EternalFlower @TAB @Shaz51 @Former-Member @tonys

lets go Romantic .. Kreidefelsen Kaspar David Friedrich 1826 (chalk cliffs of Ruegen)

@maddison @Appleblossom

Wow @TAB Beautiful. Most of us English speakers only get to know about cliffs of Dover, of course it is not the only place like that.

@maddison Great lyrics. Thanks for that. Yeah. When is it a trauma dump and when is it trite and meaningless? Not straightforward in my opinion.

Looked up your profile, I did not realise you had been around on the forum in 2014, a year before I had heard of it. Struggling with the same situation I am guessing. Not an easy path caring for someone with Schizophrenia. When I first came online I was disappointed by a lot of mental health forums that were limited to discussing diagnoses and medication. I was determined to open the field on here. Think it has worked.

Hey @EternalFlower How are you.

Gotta go. Gotta session online but going across town tonight to dance. Hoorah!

Brought in some leek from garden to put into a seafood green curry later for dinner.

oh its P;'ing me off a bit @Appleblossom cant find the one I wanted to, thought it was by him , was Watchman or something one of those 'sehnsucht' things a sentry, just a dot on a landscape

Hi @TAB @Appleblossom @maddison

Interesting pic, u guys know a lot about art!

Share more, I love them

Very nice song @maddison I like the lyrics. Feels like a Melbourne song.

I was too good at share house living but I did backpacking and living wirh many ppl. U see lots of intense things about ppl!!

@Appleblossom it's based on a book called "and the hippos were boiled in their tanks". It's written by Kerouac and Burroughs together, from 2 different perspectives, and each one writes in turn about the events which seem to have actually happened.

I have never watched horror or true crime before this year, and now I find it really soothing.

hmm not me re Art @EternalFlower was just looking for something vaguely remembered from 20 years ago sorry re bold am on ph it does what it wants

Hi @TAB it's nice, but.

Have fun dancing 🎶 tonight @Appleblossom

What kind of music will u dance to? Is this with others dancing together....?

I saw an episode on I think abc24 about line dancing which is in fashion and ppl get together and do it in Melbourne inner city. I'm very shy to dance unfortunately

This is the book I impulse bought yesterday...stories and poems on mental health https://upswellpublishing.com/product/admissions

@maddison

I have enjoyed it so far!!

Enjoy your book @EternalFlower thought line dancing was like 20 years ago lol

just at lawyers re Will

Thanks for sharing this @TAB to me, it's 'pretty'. It's it just me or are there lots of phallic symbols..lol? Don't mean to be rude.

Seeing as we are doing art.. Here's my aurora borealis I finished yesterday. Will it be famous 100 years from now... Doubt it😄

@EternalFlower put some extra stars in for you💫

It's only fun. Good way for me to unwind.

@Former-Member we need to start an "art thread" if not already one. Anything art - weaving, paper curling, origami, we can share tips/techniques. Idk, only an idea😊 how are you?
