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.

Hi @CheerBear , @Zoe7
I had a very strange weekend which ended up ok. I had a big aha moment on Friday night followed by a collapse on Saturday and a pulling myself together Sunday. I think the aha moment is hopefully a turning point for some things. Big shout out to @Former-Member for helping get to the aha moment on Friday 💜🤗.
Like @Zoe7 I finally managed to go through some boxes and throw things out. Spent yesterday sorting out my bedroom, finally made my Ikea unit I got for Christmas :face_with_rolling_eyes:. Manage to even file paper work (from up to 5 years ago 😯).
i have a busy week with appointments too. Hoping your interview and appointments go well @CheerBear . @Zoe7 I hope your week goes well too. It’s so great that you are ticking not just the days but weeks off now. 🤗💜
@Exoplanet I miss you when you are not around. I don’t tag much but I love reading about your adventures...the good, the bad and the hairy ones 🤗💜 🐕

Hi @Teej @CheerBear I had a pretty ordinary day today - didn't feel right all day. As you can imagine I am glad to be home. I got through the day and even got some work done after school - so that is a bonus. I did manage to get everything done I was expected to do or that I wanted to do but kept myself pretty much hidden away at recess and lunch.
I am planning on another early night so this day is over quickly - just one of those days!
@Teej I love that you had one of those aha moments and despite you crashing on Saturday you still pulled yourself back up - that is progress Hon
@CheerBear Got a message from friend today - a smiley face lol - that was it. I suppose it is something. I haven't sent anything back as yet but will do that soon. I am very much not caring too much right now but will let you know if I have any further contact tonight. Hope you have had a good day - will catch up with how you are going later - need to organise dinner soon.

lol Hope you didn't jinx it @CheerBear It is great that you are feeling good all around - might be the new jammies hahaha.
It sounds like you had a wonderful day with Big - they certainly grow up quickly 
I sent a simple 'How are you doing' back ...he came back with 'thinking about you a lot' followed by 'very busy' - the finance has come through for his house so it will be settled soon. He asked me around for dinner tomorrow night but I am too busy to even think about it this week and honestly don't think I would be good company anyway. A bit flat tonight ...have been all day but I did get through it so that is something. I definitely wasn't my usual smiley self today at work so stayed away from people as much as I could - didn't feel at all like socialising. Hopefully I will pick myself up over the next couple of days and be better when I return on Thursday. I was very tired this morning despite having just over 10 hours sleep - hope I am not coming down with something 'cos I haven't slept that long for quite some time or felt this flat - maybe it is just one of those down days that I need to get through as well - time will tell I suppose. Definitelly going to bed early tonight - already had night meds.
That is enough of my downer mood for now lol - more interested in your super good mood - I want some of that tonight
