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.

Yeah .... today was okay, although I have ice-cream insides that melt in the heat you know ..... so I sorta turn a bit mushy, but I’ll do .....
I contacted a therapist today (by email then phone) cos I am feeling like I need someone irl to walk the steep and rocky hills with me this year. She seems really nice, and has agreed to an initial consult, although there really isn’t anywhere that provides for carers where there isn’t a diagnosis over their cares-for’s ..... so I am still squeezing myself in between the cracks. Hopefully somewhere in my future there will be an opportunity to contribute towards getting better carer services up and going in the waste-land between onset of illness and diagnosis + treatment ..... that zone called Precontemplation .....
