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.

Thanks @Zoe7 . I have read your posts. Can’t remember if I hit support or not. My brain is pretty fried. I got off at the wrong bus stop tonight 🤨. It’s still so good to read your updates and follow how things are going. It means lots to me to be able to see how you are going. 💜🤗

Re: Just checking in.

It has been a bit of a struggle for me lately @Teej but I do know I will get through it - unlike previous times when I didn't even care if I did ...I know you know how that feels Had some SI come up again but actually think not going to DBT this week helped me. I needed that time to myself and would not have got to the ceremony last night if I had gone to DBT. I only have a few weeks left until I finish DBT and will then have more time to myself - I think that will be good for me too. Getting so tired again and that is not a good sign but determined to beat this before it really takes hold again ..hoping so anyway - am doing everything I can to try to get on top of it and speaking to my pdoc and GP were necessary so they knew exactly how hard it has been. I have their support and they are going to monitor me closely again ..fingers crossed I pull up out of this soon.

Re: Just checking in.

Just a check-in to say hi @TheVorticon. I'm thinking of you this morning because tonight is a special Nintendo night here. We are getting a Switch! I'm busting to show the kids and to play with them with it. I have a feeling you might understand the excitement that this one will bring 🙂

I have missed seeing you around and often wonder how you are doing. Would love to hear from you if you feel up to it sometime, but understand you might not too.

Hope you're going OK/OK enough 😎

Hey @CheerBear, thanks for your post


So excited to hear that you'll all be playing Switch tonight! That's awesome and I hope everyone enjoys it. What games?! I've been playing Mario Kart and Pokemon Let's Go on Switch. I have to train up on Smash Bro's before I play it with anyone else haha. Got Yooka-Laylee on PC cause it's like Banjo-Kazooie which was one of my fav games on the N64. But I had to buy a new PC controller before starting it because my old one has mega control stick drift (the character was running when the stick was in neutral position and pushing the opposite way barely got them to stand still... I've taken it apart, cleaned it out, reassembled, but no go). My new controller arived today! I should've just got Yooka-Laylee on Switch but I didn't have the Switch then.

I've been doing pretty alright, thanks. I've just recently started seeing a psych I used to see a long time ago, and it's been good to see how far I've come since then but also tough seeing some things that haven't really changed as much as I thought they had. I have to be really, really, really (did I mention "really"?) careful about posting on these forums now because the slightest hint of feeling invisible pulls me into an enormous tailspin... and with the size of these forums (+ all the many reasons I can attribute to myself) that feeling seems to happen any time I post on here so it seems to be much safer not to. I still read along in a few threads. I actually disabled all my email notifications and don't usually log in, so I saw your post while browsing. It feels safe enough to reply here, to you, about these topics, in this particular moment... so thanks for asking, for saying hi, and for sharing the news about your new Switch Hope you're having a great day/evening.
