not feeling good

You don't need to stay away @BlueBay - that is what we are here for - to listen and chat with you when you are feeling like this. What else have you been doing to help with how you have been feeling - been doing any knitting?

@Zoe7@Faith-and-Hope

I have done nothing. Had no motivation or enjoyment in doing anything. Feel quite numb actually. No feeling for much. Csnt explain. All I’ve done is emotional eat snd now feel disgusted that I did that. Haven’t called my gp for two days which is amazing because normally I’d ring him daily. Should be happy and proud but I’m not.

I don’t know I’m really down. I’m sorry. You’re prob sick of listening to me.

No BB not sick of listening to you - we are here to support you - especially when you are feeling this down. It does say something positive though that you haven't contacted your GP for 2 days - that means there are days that you have gotten by without that call and that is positive @BlueBay Here listening BB - whatever you are feeling - or not feeling - is ok because that is where you are at right now

How is dinner going @BlueBay?

I’ve just finished dinner @Zoe7

I’m not sure I know what to say on here at the moment.

I feel so hurt and empty. I feel empty. I feel nothing. There is nothing in me. I’m nothing.

That is okay @BlueBay Just keep chatting to me to distract you a bit. Tell me some of the places you have visited or gone on holidays too - do you have a favourite?

Over the years @Zoe7 we've been to cairns, surfers paradise, Sunshine Coast and Merimbula

we've been to Tasmania twice. Once we hired a car in Hobart and drove along the east coast. It was beautiful. The other time we stayed in Hobart. I love the markets. This October hubby and I want to drive to Sunshine Coast snd stay for a week. And maybe my daughter her partner and Ayla will fly up snd stsy with us. But it all depends on money. We will try to book the accommodation now snd pay it off.

Have you travelled much ?

Tassie is a beautiful place @BlueBay I am very lucky to live where I do

I have travelled to most states in Australia - haven't been to the Northern Territory or the top end of Queensland or WA but would love to do that one day. I have also travelled throughout Europe, the UK and Ireland - spent most of my time in Ireland and the UK and absolutely loved it.

Sounds like you have thought out your plans for a holiday well - booking now and paying it off a little at a time is a great idea.

@Zoe7

I would love to travel to itsly snd greece. Itsly to see family snd greece for the beautiful islands. My youngest son is in Santorini st the moment. He is having an amazing time. He’s been to London Ibiza Barcelona Rome Mykonos then after Greece he is going to Amsterdam then Belgium then meeting my other son to then travel around Italy.

We just can’t afford it. It’s so expensive to travel overseas.

I haven't been to Ibizia or Santorini but I have been to the other places your son has been or is going to @BlueBay It is expensive - I came home with not a cent to my name but it was worth every cent I spent on the trip. That is actually when I decided to go back to Uni to do teaching as well - so in a way it changed the course of my life. I am not sure what I would be doing now if I hadn't done that - maybe still in welfare and maybe still in research but glad that I went down the path I did.
