Hello

Hi my name is @Pippa4

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.

I don’t have many friends but I’m hoping I can make some friends on here.

Welcome @Pippa4 ,

Great for you to post this introductory post. What are some things you like doing?

Also, you may want to visit What does your forums' name mean? I'd be interested to hear about your username.

Looking forward to seeing you around.

Re: Hello

hi, @Pippa4

Hope your day has been kind 🙏

I've just woken up! I didn't get to sleep til after 4:30 this morning. That's a numerous time in a row that I've had trouble getting to sleep - inspite of medication that is prescribed to help with this...

I suffer with anxiety and depression. I have had stress seizures in the past. They just started this year. Scary!.. Feels like I'm about to die when that happens. At my last one I was admitted to hospital. It was there that a CAT scan revealed a tumor in my brain. So now I have two in my body.

On top of other life crises (which I won't go into right now) life is...peachy. 🙂

somedays are better than others, though. I guess I have never quite appreciated the depth of degrees that our days can vary until recent times... they tell me 'everyone has ups and downs' and that 'everyone is going through something'. And of that I have little doubt. Amid the widening loneliness we also tend to feel, let me introduce myself and say hello:

I am kyle. I have three children and belief in Jesus.

Good on you for reaching out. It isnt always easy to do, but here you are! 👍

Hey @Kyle1 ,

Thank you for your heart-felt post. I read it has been easy for you lately. I admire your strength and resilience.

I'm sorry to hear that they have found 2 tumours. It is understandable that it is scary.

We are here for you.

Please take care.

Thanks for that. Yes, there are silver linings sometimes. I have found Sane helpful overall.

Thanks for being here @tyme

You put in some noticeable effort yourself and you should know: you, too, are appreciated 🫂 💚🙏

Than means a lot.

You mean a lot to us too. As hard as things are for you, you are able to reach out to others to support them.

My prayers go with you and your family.

Thanks @tyme

I just posted on that ‘ What does your forum name mean’ page.

Some of the things that I like doing is bushwalking, horse riding, playing the piano and drawing.

Re: Hello

I see your creativity @Pippa4 🙂

For me, I like working with children and being around children. I also like handing them back at the end of the day.

I'm a pretty goal-focused person and find fulfilment in getting things done.

I was a volunteer with SANE before I started working as a peer worker. It's been a highly rewarding experience. I feel so privileged to be part of this community.

hello @Pippa4 and welcome!
your interests sound very similar to mine too including horse riding. ive been doing that since before i could walk and still continue on all these years later. i also love bushwalking and drawing too though with the music im not an overly good musician.
We have a couple of threads here i think that would be of interest to you. let me try and link them here for you
