Evening everyone,
I am new to Sane and am just beginning my journey as a Peer Support Worker on the forums. I am looking forward to some good chats, and also some difficult chats with you all. I am looking forward to being part of this community 🙂

One job today @Former-Member
We brought a Ute full of stuff home that we have had in storage after our fire
Soo much more to bring home and go through
Only one load and our hands were black from the aftermath of the fire
This had put us into a down mood for the afternoon including it was 34 degrees, veryyyy hot
And then thunder and a shower and it was all over
Aircon on and watching TV

Oh @Shaz51, I can understand why you might need that meditation or some kind of self love tonight 💔.
Can you take your time in bringing back the boxes from storage?
Sending you virtual hugs 🤗

Wowza, busy day @MDT !!
All those self-help strategies, like the gym, the beach and meditation hopefully helped. It is so hard not to analyse everything, especially our interactions with others. Hopefully you can take some time out tonight and rest your head.
What is on the BBq??
