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.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, @PeppiPatty 💜🤗
hi @oceangirl,
how has your day been?
Ive had an ok day. I started a new group today called focus to help with memory and concentration. It went well. There were a couple of really difficult word play activities but the rest was just fun really. One activity was playing a couple of rounds of scattegories. I think my sense of humour is a bit wacked though and I laughed out loud to myself a few times at my answers I wanted to write which isn't a cool look.
I was travelling ok but just had a fight with my over tired 16 year old which has bought my mood plummeting down and reaching for alcohol. Its going to be a bit 'chilly' mood wise tonight. Everyone has retreated to their rooms. I think there is a bit going on.
I hope your day is ok. 💜🤗💐
Hi @Pepsimax,
how are you? How did that coffee with your support worker go. I hope it was a nice day where you are. It was a beautiful day here.
💜🤗💐

Hi @Former-Member
My day has been good- thanks for asking
I'm just going to have a quiet night. I've just got home from Brisbane. Glad the group went well today, and you were able to have a laugh. I think overtime you should see some improvements.
Try not to react to you son probably easier said then done, and just practice some of skills you have in your tool kit, and try to avoid the alcohol, it will just make things worse.
I'm going to try to have a early night.

Hi @Pepsimax,
please don't feel bad about anything. Life is often hard. I know you have lots on your plate. Crossing my fingers for you that your test results are ok. Try not to worry too much about it though. I think it's fanatastic that you told your support worker everything...
