I can’t cope

@Captain24 I'm glad that the break did help, even if it wasn't exactly what you were hoping for. And sorry to hear you got sunburned! That sucks. Hope the dermatologist appt still went okay!

I'm glad you were able to get your house to a level that makes you feel comfortable. I hope you didn't wear yourself too thin!!

There's been a short span of wet, cold weather now. I'm in hoodies again! For now anyway. I think it'll be back up to high 20's and low 30's soon though.

Hope you're travelling okay today :)

I’m home now @MissGremlin The say nav said I’d be home at 5:22 and I got here at 5:15! I beat it! I always set it when I’m coming home to know what time I’ll get here and I race the time.

I didn’t buy any as I didn’t find any dodgy places. I’m desperate though. I’ll order my groceries online so I don’t have to go out tomorrow.

I ended up with 8 stitches!

Im exhausted now. I just want to go to bed!

How are you going?

Hey @Jynx

Good to see you.

I wasn’t even in the sun for long. Most of the time I had jumpers on. There was only twice and that’s when I laid at the beach hoping the shark would go away. But it didn’t. I didn’t have suncream in though. It’s really itchy and peeling a little bit. BUT really brown!!!!

The dermatologist is lovely. She joked with me about me turning 50 next year. We did the check and everything. I showed her a new spot and she looked at it thoroughly. I had the choice to get it cut out or come back in 3 months to have it rechecked. Obviously I got it cut out and another one as well. She said. At 50 any new skin spots are anything needs to be checked. I told her I wasn’t 50 yet! 😜

Ive had an extremely rough weekend. I reached out to a crisis line and you know that I won’t do that and I even considered hospital. It’s been tough but I’ve had a heap of support on here from @MissGremlin @Nala2022 and @Cuddlebear They all got me through.

Yay!! Hoodie weather! That weather will run out soon so enjoy it while you can. It’s nearly colder now than winter here but winter was extremely warm.

I did think of you when I was away. I walked down this cliff face and got to the bottom and could check out the rock pools. There was sea snails and little fish. Normally you can’t get down there as the waves are crashing across there but I though you would have enjoyed it!

Can I email you about something please? It’s all good just some advice.

I'm glad that you're home @Captain24 sweet ☺️. Haha beating the clock 😂.

That sounds like a good plan.

Oh ouch, hopefully everything heals quickly for you.

I can relate to being exhausted, hopefully you can get a good sleep tonight.

I was having an ok day but everything has gone wrong now. I've had 3 things happen (shared in my thread) that really sent my mood crashing.

That’s frustrating. @MissGremlin. At least the 3 are done now though! Shame about dinner hope you have something you can pivot to.

Hopefully I don’t have to go back to that town until this time next year. It’s a really pretty place, prettier than here but it’s cold and I don’t like it. All I like is that it has Oportos and a good RB sellers! That’s it.

Ive got a big day tomorrow. I have to mow my lawns and mum and dads and I have a psych appointment and I have to food prep for work. I don’t know that I can do it but I have to try. My psych is going to be really hard though. I usually sleep afterwards.

@Captain24 I imagine it's easier to get it cut out now than to be worrying about it later!!

I'm sorry you've had a rough weekend but so glad you decided to reach out. I know it's not always easy, but it is important - gotta look after ourselves ya know? I am also glad you were able to stay connected here and receive the support of our wonderful members :)

Aww rock pools are amazing aren't they? So glad you got to explore and connect with nature in that way ^_^

@Captain24 oh I hope it's 3 and done 😂. It's the phone I'm really stressed about cos I use that at night time and now I don't have it, it's got heaps of pictures on it too. I'm not even hungry now so it doesn't matter.

That's good that you don't have to go back until next year hopefully. It sounds like a nice place other than the cold.

Tomorrow will be busy but just try to take it one step at a time. What time is your psych appointment? Can you maybe say 10 minutes before the end of your session see if you can make sure you're in a good or better place before finishing up with her?

It’s a positive email not negative! @Jynx. I just pressed send!

Yeah. I did explore. Mum and dad had to hold the dogs as they were trying to climb down with me! I did take them all sorts of rock climbing though. So they wanted to keep coming. Apparently there is another set of rocks that mums dog wants to climb down but mum can’t. So next time I’ll that the 3 dogs down so she can get down there. Mum said that there is rock pools down there too.

We also saw a whale! It was breaching out in the distance! All I missed really was my swimming at the beach and my alone time. Hopefully next time the sharks have pissed off!

Mum had my dogs today and she was walking through the park. Dad had pix so they were further away. Keiko went to go into this hollowed out tree and mum said to Keiko ‘not today’ and slowly dragged her and Jett away. The was a red-bellied black snack at the entrance to the hole! That’s the local park where kids run into the tree!

I have a question if you can remember. How hard was it to quit smoking? I’m 21 days in and I’m desperate for one. If I’m busy it’s not so bad but all weekend when it was hard I ‘needed’ one and today I’m really struggling too. People told me once I go to 2 weeks it would get easier.

That’s a bugger. Can you get the photos off it? @MissGremlin

Im not hungry either. But I have to do something. I don’t even feel like the cheesecake that I brought. They have a cheese cake shop. I didn’t realise that they even existed anymore.

I’ve just ordered my shopping so it’ll be delivered around 2 and I’ll have to pack it away. I also have to bath the dogs! I forgot that! Shit..

My appointment is at 12. I will try and see at the end but we have this issue that the session is over before we realise! She actually has to set a timer for some appointments (ADHD time blindness!) and mine is one of them! We could go 2 hours and not even realise. She not as late anymore as she use to be though. Only 10-15 minutes not up to 30+ minutes.

@Captain24 the screen won't work, only the very top part does up until the first bit of the weather shows.

Just have something little if you can sweet. The cheesecake shop is yummy, i haven't had anything from there for years.

I'm glad you've ordered your shopping. See how you go with bathing the dogs tomorrow, you've got alot to do already.

Haha oh I completely understand. I used to be the same with my counsellor, we'd just get so into talking about things that time was no longer a thought 😂. I'm glad she's not as late as she used to be, it's hard when others run overtime and then it makes every appointment late from there. Just see how you can, maybe set an alarm for 10 minutes before as a reminder.
