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.

@CheerBear There is no wonder you are feeling as you are - so much going through your head and so much to do. It is so wonderful that you can be given help to get a new car - that is a huge thing for unwell and well ones to offer. Take the offer Hon - they would not have offered if it was not important to them. They certainly seem like they want to look out for you and that is such a lovely thing to know.

All the c-link stuff will get done in time - but give yourself a break right now to hopefully get your mind into a better working order to deal with it. You have had a lot happen over the last couple of days and that takes time to process - give yourself that time Hon.

As for having a pity party - think you are entitled to do that with what you are dealing with. We are here to listen - however much you want/need to vent - and support you in any way we can. Love, hugs and a little hope coming your way - you certainly could do with it right now

Re: Just checking in.

@Queenie It only feels like yesterday that we were chatting about the possibility of you completing your course and then moving on to do your degree - that is now reality Hon and I could not be prouder of how much work you have done to get here. Your pdoc was not only wrong but should have encouraged you - you certainly have proved him wrong and more importantly - done it for yourself. Congratulations Queenie - so happy for you.

ps: huge party coming up when you graduate - look forward to celebrating that with your forum friends

Re: Just checking in.

@Teej Very much in that world of hurt with you right now for yet another loss here for us. I totally understand how you are feeling - so much support given no doubt to both of us and the loss is certainly hard. Some connections and relationships we form here are very special for many different ways - this one got me through some of my darkest times - as I am sure is also the case with you.

As hard as this is Teej - I am here for you Hon - knowing we both understand how monumental this is in our worlds and anything I can do to help you get through this I will do

Re: Just checking in.

@Zoe7 . I'm still around. I hide behind the scenes.

I've just been a bit spare. Feel like I have all the symptoms of depression, just without the depression ( if that makes sense).

I do very little. Watch tv, internet, read and sleep. Not much of a life.

I watched a lot of Mags. Switched it off when too much fighting and screaming amongst the girls. Though loved the women. And there will be a real wedding from this season. How cool.

Hope you are well. Hugs ❤

Re: Just checking in.

I suspected you are still in that kind of 'nothing' zone @utopia - that is incredibly hard for you. Before I went back to work I felt much the same - the depression you are having when there is no depression! I understand that 'just getting through each day' mentality - you can't seem to be happy about anything or find any joy in the day but all clinical signs of depression have gone. I honestly have no solutions for you on this one Hon.

I watched most of MAFS - felt much the same way as you with the younger women I fell in love with Cam and Jules from the first night and so glad to see them still be together - as for the rest - well probably best they were not because none of them seemed like they would last anyway. When it came down to it most were on there I believe for media exposure and not for the right reasons anyway.

Re: Just checking in.

@Zoe7 I was hoping another couple would survive. Can't remember their names. She is of Asian background. He has a bit of grey in his hair and his beard. They never had sex, but I thought their friendship was growing. Sad.

Re: Just checking in.

Just checking in. I backed up Monday's miserable day with a second yesterday. No car hurt already and I think was behind the not nice day I had yesterday also, with a horrible feeling of being stuck sinking in. We're lucky to have great public transport here but it was things like the need for emergency trips that had me worried about not having our own car. I don't do anything car related well and trying to sort through all the options for cars and then working out how to look at cars without my own to get there and back, did my head in.

We had a friend come over last night to pick up their little person who had spent the day with us and it helped shift a miserable inside-ness I had going on. We had a great laugh and chat and when she found out about our car she offered to help us while we don't have one, even asking if we'd like to borrow hers during the week as she doesn't use it. Hopefully I won't need to take her up on it but it definitely helped to know I'm not as stuck as it felt. I think I need to work on asking for help when I'm stuck as there are great people here who care about us and who want to help.

This morning the kids and I are off on a big public transport adventure to do some car hunting with unwell one. I'm anxious and don't want to but I need to. There's one car in particular that looks great and that I'm looking forward to checking out. It's from a reputable dealer and falls within the budget with the kms, age and features we were looking at. Everything crossed it goes well as having a car like this would be a massive thing for us 🤞🤞🤞

Thank you all for the support the other day. It helped to share and be heard and felt. I am looking forward to catching up here soon. Hope everyone is OK or better ❤
