My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

Re: My Place

Feeling really flat today. I need to shake it off because I need to get some prep work done tonight for my role plays tomorrow. One in the morning as well as one in the afternoon.

Re: My Place

Awww hun. Has something happened that is causing you to feel so flat @Oaktree ?

I'm sorry you are feeling that way. It doesn't sound like a very pleasant place to be in.

Do you think you will be able to do the role plays tomorrow?

I am still struggling as a result of my psych session. I was particularly emotionally unregulated on Tuesday night. I was also extremely distressed. I am ok but feeling really down.

I will push through the role plays tomorrow. I can’t really not do them unless I have a medical certificate and it’s difficult for the Tafe if I miss it because they are getting an actor in for the assessment the risk of suicide one.

Take care @Oaktree . I'm so sorry it has been so hard after the session. I recognise that sometimes, it's the hardest sessions that make the difference and push up to recovery, but there is also a fine line between re-traumatising.

We are here if you need company.

And I totally understand that you can't really not do the role plays as you have to do them anyway. The last thing you want is that you have to do them at home and record them! That's what I had to do, and I hated that!

However, when you do the role plays, if you feel you need to step out for a bit, I'd encourage you to let the facilitators know.

Hang in there hun. So proud of everything you are doing.
