Just checking in.

Just checking in.

I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Re: Just checking in.

Got to 40.7 before here too @utopia. Are you enjoying working again. I've been wondering how you are feeling about it all. Do you mind if I ask how you are going for concentration and confidence in what you are doing?

@TAB. I thought it was the wicked witch of the west & the good witch was from the east. Bugger - now I'm going to have to watch the Wizard of Oz this week. Because I hate not knowing. Lol.
@Former-Member. I'm enjoying the idea of working. I'm going to LOVE the pay - two more days. But the getting up in the morning is hard. 2 days in a row I've woken up late. But I am having nightmares again. So not sleeping well.
Am struggling with meditation - my calming tool. As snake season & can't go to my mountain as snakes are everywhere. Just need to kick my own bum and meditate in backyard.
I'm doing an audit for a large company. I'm enjoying the other girls company who are working this assignment. But this company is not one I would work for permanently. Too many managers. Not enough logic.
I guess my confidence has increased. Thanks for asking. I hadn't realised I am feeling more confident. Wow!!
Still applying for suitable permanent work elsewhere.

@Zoe7. How fantastic! !! You really have come a long way. Crying because you're sad instead of depressed - is a major achievement.
Yes, I think part time work is a good option when returning to the workforce. That's what I'm looking for (although doing a full time temp job for a few weeks at the moment). I need that right balance.
Well done for recognising what YOU need.
You need to put yourself first.
Sending you the best wishes. I'm very happy about all the progress you have made in such a short time. Applause! !!!

@TAB. Lol. I won't watch it now. But you know I'm a dag - & that means I like that movie.
I'm picturing you with an ice cold beer on your verandah. Heaven. Except mine is a bourbon and coke.

Wow that's a massive drop in temperature. Look after your health as a that sort of change makes people sick.
Supposedly we are going to get a cool change. Can't imagine when tho. Just hot.

Re: Just checking in.

That's great to hear about the job @utopia. I'm glad it's working out and giving you confidence. I really hope the sleep gets better and nightmares settle down. I can imagine it will take a while to become full time work hardy again and creating all new routines and habits. Go girl it's awesome 💜🤗💐 I hope you get something special for you in that first pay check 😁
