Winter solstice

Hello @AuntGlow I posted here for you maybe an hour ago.

Today I'm trying to pull myself together after successfully resolving a very rough week.

So much for you to cope with, @Dimity 😥

Hoping you can find a counsellor or psychologist who will be helpful 🤞❤️

Thanks @NatureLover . The support worker just cancelled and won't be back for another month, if at all. So even my stopgap solution isn't working.

My apologies @AuntGlow I thought you hadn't read my long post . You probably did but chose not to address it. That's OK.

Hi @Dimity @NatureLover ,

So glad to see you both.

@Dimity , what's a 'stop gap' solution? I've never heard of that term. Does it mean something to fill the gap? Hope you are okay.

Hi @tyme . Google AI says "A stopgap measure is a temporary, makeshift solution designed to meet an urgent need or manage a crisis until a permanent, better alternative is found. "

I thought paying privately for a support worker to help me do stuff and give me advice might help me out since my mh supports have fallen through (because I still have real-life problems to sort out). But the support worker came only once, a month ago, and won't be back for another month, if at all.

Hey @Dimity , that's tough. Sounds like a lot.

When you mentioned support worker, were you hoping for support with things you need to do, or support with ideas and just a listening ear? Sorry for all these questions. I'm just wondering whether the RecoveryClub will be helpful for you when it opens up for registrations in the next week or so.

Thanks for thinking of me @tyme . I guess I need both mh supports and practical help with things like transport and accompanying me and seeing what needs cleaning or repair. When the mh supports fell through I thought maybe it was time to address the practical stuff, which is tangled up with some family relationship issues. So really trying to come at it from a different direction. At the moment I don't really have anything left to try.

I'm nervous of virtual conferencing due to poor tech skills, limited tech devices (no laptop any more) and vision impairment so Recovery Club might not be a good fit.

Hugs ❤️ @Dimity

Thanks @Shaz51 . I hope you're not too close to the new cyclone track.

According to the news , we will be on the edge of the cyclone @Dimity

But we will see
