Just checking in.

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.

Hi all. I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner. I've been feeling a bit messy and I know I am not the nicest person when I've been feeling like I have. I also know I can get caught up and in stuff when I'm shaky too. Time out felt/feels sensible to me. I had a post about where I'm at but it doesn't feel right to post right now. Instead I'll say a quick hi (let's see how quick I don't make this, in true CB form).

@Teej mega ❤ to you. I miss you lots when I'm/you're not around. As much as I find the bumps (and holes I dig) tricky sometimes, I don't tend to go too far for too long and I hope it stays like that for me for a while yet. I read that you might have to go to court and I'm so sorry about that. I didn't have to (aside from once when I was much younger in age and in life experience and much more fearless than I am now with a lot less MH stuff to potentially be scrutinised 😏) and I did everything I could not to. I really hope you're doing OK. Often thinking of you
@TheVorticon I read your last message to me just before taking off for a few days. Thank you so much. You made a big difference and helped me keep my cool (probably not exactly cool, but cool enough/cooler than I may have been otherwise). You also inspired me to get Let's Go, which is where I have spent every spare moment I have had this week while hiding out under my blanket on my beanbag. I was super lucky and caught a shiny within 20 mins of starting. I've never loved a (now) pidgeot so much. Totally useless in my party but oh-so-sparkly 😉. I also started P-Go again, even though it broke my soul a little to have to go right back to the start. I haven't felt safe enough to turn location on, aside from a quick map check every now and then, for the last couple of years but I figured maybe I could try this too, quietly, sometimes. I wish we could play games together. I think I'd really enjoy that. I hope your world is OK/OK enough
@outlander big 😘. I haven't crocheted as I haven't been in the right mood for it. I hope you have enjoyed some quiet yarn time though. I have finally started being able to watch the newest season of a show we both love. Finally! I thought of you when it came out where I watch it. Sending you lots of hugs.
Faith-and-Hope and Zoe7 I'm not going to tag you as I'm not sure tonight is right for either of you, but I did want to acknowledge your kind messages and say a thank you for your thoughts. Sans911 thinking of you too.
I'm really not feeling so good right now, but it really felt nice to 'see' you all here.
❤ to all

Re: Just checking in.

Hi @CheerBear s from me too. I noticed you weren't around and was thinking of you. Sending wishes that what's troubling you evens out before long. Take care xx

@Teej I don't know what thread to find you on but would love to offer you my support more often. Especially if you're going through a court process - I've had more than my share of those things and if my experience can help someone else then it serves a purpose. If you ever feel like talking just tag me - I don't get around too many threads and have lost track of who is where.

@outlander 'crojo' ... hee hee, love it!

Re: Just checking in.

So lovely to have a check-in from you @CheerBear 👋🧸☕️🤗💕🌈🌷, even if the feelings you sre sitting with aren’t lovely at the moment. I have been missing you, and you have added some more puff to my sails ..... hoping to provide a little for yours in return ..... by wafting big hugs your way.

Gotta get off to uni now ..... running late cos I stayed up till ridiculous o’clock, but got the Photoshop assignment up to speed 👍

Re: Just checking in.

Hi @Teej @Zoe7 @outlander @eth 👋☕️💕and any / all who are reading along ......

The ☕️ is a promise of things to come ..... running too late for class to pick one up on the way ....

In response to: Re: Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

@Faith-and-Hope
hope Uni is ok today, well done on getting your photoshop up to speed, i know thats still something your learning to do.

morning @CheerBear @Teej @eth @Zoe7 and all who are passing through

In response to: Re: Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

I've missed you all @Faith-and-Hope. I think I need someone to come and pick me up out of my hole and bring me back. I disconnect (I think that's OK sometimes and normal) and having help to reconnect is helpful. The nice feelings still outweigh the not-so-nice ones, and I felt that when I logged on last night. Lots of people make that feeling happen and I'm really thankful for that.

I'm so tired and probably underplaying how not super I have been feeling, but I think it's out of necessity as much as anything else. I was asked yesterday whether I needed a stay in the break place. All I could say was that even if my answer to that was "yes", I wouldn't say yes as a break place stay isn't an option with no-one now able to have the kids. Knowing what could help but not being able to get it, isn't helpful at all.

There's a vent.

Thanks for the hugs and the sail puffing. I wanted to say that I see your pain at the moment and that I have been there (in a way) myself, watching someone hurting and feeling unable to make it stop. It helped me when people were able to 'see' me in it all. I hope it, in some small way, helps you. Hugs being sent to you ❤ Well done with your assignment.

@outlander yes season 15! That's way too many hours of TV drama all up but I feel well committed to it after this long! Have you watched any of it? I think it is on free to air too. Amelia 😍 Enough said 😝 Hope we both find our crojo again soon.

I probably need to get a move on with my day now. Running out of hours in my morning, which is kind of ridiculous given how many are in it when I wake up at well before the sun 😏

Re: Just checking in.

Hey @CheerBear ,

so so great to see you dropping in. I’m so sorry things are really hard for you just now and even a break place isn’t an option.

Not so many words this morning from me. Feeling that same kind of tiredness even though I’ve been sleeping well. Some crazy dreams though 😧.

@Faith-and-Hope , I hope you have a good day at uni, go you with photoshop.

@eth That is so lovely for you to offer. I am feeling a bit paranoid about posting current stuff especially re court which isn’t a definite thing yet. I don’t want anything that might be read used against me. I’m ok. Just tired.

@outlander Sounds like you have something to look forward to

I have some things on today that will get me out of this headspace so that is good. Sorry no feeling very verbal just now.
