I can’t cope

It’ll be so nice if they can stay like it until neighbours, home and away and MasterChef are over @Jynx. I won’t hold my breath though.

We see lots of animals at work. Pretty much seen most native animals. We even had a koala.

Im hoping that his nanna gives me sometime so I can take him to sports and stuff. I wanna be the cool surrogate aunt.

I might have to quiz you a lot on ADHD as he has it. I want to be able to help and understand him as much as possible.

@Captain24 ahhh you're a neighbours and home n away afficionado too eh? Was talking to @Bow about this last night, you two gushed over it together yet? 😋

Aww nice! I always get so excited to see animals in the wild. Best one recently was seeing an echidna a couple months ago, and really close to the city too! I love how they waddle 😍

Aww yesssss being the cool aunt is a wonderful privilege! I think it's one of the few times I'm okay with being gendered female, is to have 'cool weird aunt' energy for my niblings (what I call my niece and nephew) 😂

Oh by all means ask away! Or better yet, maybe chuck something up in the ADHD thread, get multiple viewpoints? If you feel nervous about posting over there I'd be happy to chuck something up for you, up to you 😊

Just BTW I've gotta dash, gotta finish up prepping for tomorrow night's PGC, so I won't be as responsive, but if I get time I'll check back in before I finish up tonight 💜

Yeah we have @Jynx. I even make sure it gets recorded so I don’t miss any episodes!

I had to dodge an echidna one night on the way home. I didn’t want to run over it cause it’s so cute but I didn’t want to damage my tyres.

I can see you as the cool weird aunt!

I’ll wait until I see him and get to know his quirks and see what I need help and advice with.

Whats the PGC on?

If I don’t talk to you have a good night.

I just had my first lite n easy meal. It was ok. Better than what I thought.

So my psych has just gotten in touch about tomorrow’s appointment. It’s not zoom, she wants to do FaceTime. I told her that that was ok but it’s totally not. I just have to deal with it and in future all appointments will be face to face.

Is it just me that finds FaceTime unprofessional? I only have my phone. I don’t know how else to do it. I hate it when my bestie FaceTimes me.

Im not looking forward to the appointment anyway. I usually feel bad after her appointments anyway.

Heya @Captain24 !

Just trying to get my life sorted on this side! I feel everywhere lol...

Facetime? You mean any type of f2f call or just Facetime?

Hope you can settle yourself soon @tyme. Take a big deep breath! 😜

She said FaceTime! I have to hold my phone in front of me for an hour.

Im really anxious about the appointment anyway,

@Captain24 All done! But also I'm only here till 8 🙃

Aww yessss even in only knowing me in written form I have an aura of weird aunt, most excellent!

If you wanted to read up on some stuff beforehand, you can check out ADDitude, they've got heaps of resources!

The PGC is called 'Dealing with Dysregulation'! Hope you can join 😊

Also re: FaceTime - I absolutely get you. I have this theory that the reason phone/video calls always make me feel quite drained is because usually when we're in the room with someone with whom we're connecting, the energy flows back and forth between us. Over the phone, the energy is flowing out from me, but I'm getting none in return, so I am left feeling very bleh. Maybe it's the same for you!

Sucks that you leave appts feeling crappy though. Do you think there's still something helpful you're getting out of them?

LOL. You'll have to build a lego phone stand tonight @Captain24 .

Take the appt for what it's worth lol.

I'm glad the lite and easy was okay. I've never tried it.

I’m glad you got it all sorted @Jynx It feels good when it’s done.

It’s funny how you can feel some one.

I’ll have a look at the link and see where I can start.

Im not sure that it’s for me but I’ll tag along in the back ground.

Im getting ok with zoom as my dietitian is through zoom. My Pdoc appointments are sometimes through zoom but I do prefer it when she comes over. Zoom would be better than FaceTime.

I built a phone box yesterday… @tyme. Might need to reconfigure it.

Ueah. I guess at least it’s an appointment.

My dietitian wanted me to try lite n easy so I’ve ordered 7 dinners through them. It’s something that I could agree too so I did it.
