I can’t cope

Hello @Captain24 sweet, how are you doing?

@Captain24 making positive change is impossible if one doesn't have the will to try. The fact that you're so open to giving things a go is amazing and will take you far. It is always helpful to have people in your corner to encourage and celebrate with, so I feel honoured to be part of this journey for you!

What would 'the end' look like for you? I'm just reflecting on the fact that sometimes it can help to, rather than think of there being some 'end goal' you must reach, think of simply working towards each year being a bit better than the last. The days and weeks can be up and down, but from where I'm sitting you're certainly miles ahead of where you were when you first joined the forums!

Oh wow that is a trek. And that must be a super delicious salad roll!! Is it like banh mi or something? Those are my fav salad rolls hehe.

Ooh it's been ages since I've had a bath. Got candles and a bath bomb and stuff to make it an extra bday treat? Some lavender or a sprinkling of rose petals? 🌹

I hope the bloods come back with an answer, whatever it may be 🤞

Oh I'm glad Pix is more energetic and like her usual self! That is promising. UTIs can be so nasty, I hope it's all cleared up posthaste!!

Got the vacuuming done today! Kitties hid under the couch haha. And yes I have done a teensy little bit of 'that' room haha. Now my car boot is full of stuff I have to take to the donation bins... but of course I keep forgetting to 😅

@MissGremlin , unfortunately, @Captain24 is having tech issues and can't get on the forums! I'm sure they haven't abandoned you.

Sorry for all the tech glitches! We're trying to work through it.

@tyme thankyou for letting me know. Hoping the tech issues can be fixed soon.

Thinking of you @Captain24 sweet ❤️.

After much begging and pleading I’m back @MissGremlin

It was funny @tyme

I don’t remember much else, what he said or thought.

It was quite common for mum to walk around naked getting from the bathroom to her bedroom which was at either end of the house.

I’ve always tried @Jynx. I would listen and try what was suggested. But it’s just now finally falling into place. I just kept trying to do the things that were slowly lifting and not giving up on them. There’s more changes to make but it all takes time and I have to make these ones natural first.

Thanks for being here for my journey. I do appreciate you.

The end for me is being able to manage day to day without such intrusive thoughts. Yes I know they will come and go as that is MI but to slowly feel good about myself. Yes improvement is constant. Maybe I am well and truly on my way.

It is a big change from the beginning. The biggest change has been since I went inpatient twice and found this psych. The encouragement and support has been amazing. While I’m still in a pit of depression I feel the most natural I have felt in a long time. Imagine what it will feel like to be out of the depression!

It is good. It’s just a salad roll but it’s from a Vietnamese bakery. I love them. The bath will have a candle, some salt and white noise to relax too. I’m looking forward to it.

Im glad you got the vacuuming done. I’m so proud of you for doing a little bit of ‘that’ room. I get the donation bins stuff. I have bag fulls in my spare room that I keep forgetting to take. They were in my boot but they were annoying me so I put them in the spare room! 😂

Hello @Captain24 sweet, how are you going?

I went a long way backwards not being able to get on here. I didn’t realise how much it meant to me. But now that they created me a new account and got me back on my anxiety and distress levels are slowly coming down. @MissGremlin

I’ve done heaps today. My house sparkles and so does my laundry. I’m sitting down doing diamond art after having a nap.

How are you? Sorry I wasn’t around today.

@Captain24 I'm so glad you're back on here now sweet, i really missed you. Can completely understand the stress and anxiety levels over it.

You've done well to do so much today and I'm glad you had a nap and are now doing your diamond art.

My days been really tough, I've got so much anxiety over going tomorrow. I'm safe and trying to drink an iced coffee but my tummy has been unsettled today.
