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.

I’m sorry about last night. I did iPad face @Faith-and-Hope . I also had chocolate for company....a whole packet of chocolate biscuits 😱😖🤬. I hope today is ok for you with very interrupted sleep.
@Sans911 Sorry you had a rough night. Im guessing there may have been a little sh involved. Here if you want to talk about what is going on for you. I have a feeling there is lots.
@CheerBear . My spidey senses failed yesterday. I hadn’t clicked there was something wrong. I’m sorry for all the big stuff coming at once. It never seems to come by halves for you ☹️, it’s always a double or triple hit. Good luck with the interview 🙏🤞🏻. I also hope news for unwell one is better than expected. It must be hard when you get the reality checks. I’m sorry I don’t watch Netflix hardly at all. I had seen it was a new Ricky Gervais creation. I did watch a bit of gardening Australia podcast 😝, not much help with your request though.
my mood is a bit brighter today but the same issues that have consumed me for the past few weeks are bubbling away underneath.
I also have my brother arrive towards the end of this weekend/early next week. I’m trying to work out how to let him in my world without shame winning and me self sabotaging. S1gf parents coming again too before Easter. I ended up in hospital last time they came too because shame got the better of me. It was a big mess last time and I put my kids through hell (it was the time they were calling the police to look for me 😖). I think that was the last time I sh in a big way so it’s nearly a year. Two birthdays left and then birthday season is over.

Leaving plenty of these 💛🧡💚💙💜 and some of these 💐 for you all @Teej @Faith-and-Hope @Sans911 @CheerBear
I hope your interview went well CB - look forward to hearing all about it and the rest of your suer busy day when you are able to post.
As always - with you Teej even when I am not 
@Sans911 sending you a little extra love as well and hoping your studies are feeling a little more do-able (but suspect they aren't and you are still beating yourself up over it) Very much been thinking of you Hon

How did you go @CheerBear ? Only if you up to sharing. I can imagine that there might be lots of things going on at the moment for you.

Just a wonderful day for you yesterday @CheerBear Isn't it great when things do fall into place and others can see that we have made real progress - so happy for you 
It is great that your psych can see how well you are actually doing and whilst that does not mean there won't be tough days it does show that you are in a better place to be able to deal with them.
It sounds like Middle had a a great time away - that is awesome news and so good for Middle too
Your interview also sounds like it went really well - it was wonderful to hear you say you could feel some of the old CB coming back. It has beena really long road for you Hon so any little glimpses of who you used to be are certainly welcomed.
I hope you have a fabulous weekend Hon
