Trying makes it worse

Same here @EternalFlower thinking of you lots. Today I saw a stack of books in the op-shop. Guess who it reminded me of?

Hi @maddison @tyme @Appleblossom

Thank U for supporting lovely people 💓

Haha @maddison , thinking of U too, in sorry I couldn't reply re ur housemate coming home ...thoughts are with U and hin. This is stressful, was wandering how it turned out?

Books are life !!!everyone here thinks I read a lot because I buy books on leave and pile them up in my cubicle.....we love books....did urs arrive? I know U said ur house mate has stayed for months previously ...I've met a man who stayed one six months. I tried to ask him if I could stay a bit longer but because I have been I guess not safe always and had an incident if sh recently he thinks I should go home.

Hi @tyme thank U, still here...but leaving on Monday. My dr doesn't want me to stay anymore because of the SH. There are insects in here that jump around the walls...it's not so nice here. But I like having time to spend on myself for a bit.

Hello lovely @Appleblossom agree with others that ur post was amazing.

Hugs @EternalFlower - seems like those bugs/insects don't sound too pleasant!

Have you prepared yourself mentally to go home? The transition can be challenging.

I'm here if you need to talk about it 🙂

@EternalFlower

Love that you love books too.

That book/show "You" seems interesting, will keep an eye out.

At least you will have the weekend to get your focus on going home.

Its probably all the wet weather, but I have had a few mozzie attacks @tyme mind you one was on the frog census at a swamp... so wot can I expect lol

@EternalFlower

Am wondering what could make going home this time better for you? We will all still be here.

Hey @EternalFlower,

Just checking in to see how you are doing. Hope you're ok Xx

Hi @Appleblossom I'm sorry about the mozzies and that's terrible ....but ur adventurous side is really impressive

I hate these little bugs , they hop...

I am pretty terrified to go home, I think home is so cold and depressing and lonely ...

I have spent a lot of time here in self care mode....at home this just goes out the window

But I'll try and find ways to stay alive, connected.

I guess I have music I use at home to unwind and also shows, and hooe I can still self care..when I have leave here I go and buy myself treats,so will try keep the sense that it's ok to do so outside, not a waste ....worthwhile

Hi @maddison sending hugs

@EternalFlower

I think you are very beautiful and definitely worth self care.

Make the most of the social aspect of hospital tmrw and maybe put your thinking cap on for some activities for when you return home.

I am feeling very quiet tonight.

@EternalFlower

Love that you wrote "But I'll try and find ways to stay alive, connected."

I can also resonate with the pain behind those words as well.

At the beginning of this year, came out of a lot of self doubt and internalised self blame, and had new mantra "Permission to Live".

Maybe next years will be "Permission to Enjoy Life on My Terms".

@maddison

Hope you are alright. Keep checking in even if you do not want to talk about what is going on.
