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.

Man, I wish you could talk too @CheerBear because my fixit brain is in overdrive trying to work out what needs to be fixed. 😜😘.
On a serious note though I hope you are getting the support you need outside the forum.
Big girl pants are still firmly in place although probably need a good wash now 😉. On a slightly ironic note I think I have to buy the next side up undies as my old ones are a tad too tight lately. I’m trying to work on losing a bit of weight (especially for surgeries), although with so much stress chocolate has found its way into my house again :face_with_rolling_eyes::face_with_rolling_eyes:😳.
I hope that your day has some enjoyable challenges in it. I’m off to group soon too. 💜🤗

And then the crash finally happened. Am ok, just sooo flat and exhausted mentally and physically. Hoping it’s just a down day and tomorrow will be better. Need to motivate myself to go and vote.

I managed to vote thanks @outlander.
Am a bit better today so far. Slept well (with meds). Trying not to feel the heaviness of the election but it will be hard not to for a while. Hopes of Newstart rising dashed along with so many other things.
@CheerBear Would love a check in when your up to it.

Oh @CheerBear . Im so glad you posted.
Hmmm she says shaking her head trying to work out how to remain cryptic but really wanting a bloody picture drawn 😜.
There are some really big things in your post. Some parts I think I can understand for you and some I don’t. You are most definitely not the problem. I think i must have missed a big hurt for you too.
I will write more but wanted a quick touch base first. I for one have missed you way more than you would think 💜😘.

PS @CheerBear . I need to know if you want fixit brain who wants to go through your post and understand some parts and possibly challenge them or for now do you need 'I’m in a dark hole' and I need someone to be here with me listening. I’m hoping I can do both equally effective.
