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.

Morning @eth and everyone who might come by. I enjoyed reading your post @eth, and feeling the sense of pride you have through all you've managed this past while 😊 I don't think anyone minds anyone posting here. It's a check in thread for anyone/everyone to use.

Hope your morning is going well.

Hey @frog (noticed you under the support button). Wondering how you are going and how your yesterday went (if you feel up to/wanting to share)?

Re: Just checking in.

Hi @CheerBear thanks for the reassurance. How are things for you today?

Hi to you too @frog and @Sans911 hope you're all having a good start to today xx

Re: Just checking in.

I'm pretty OK this morning thanks @eth. I had a really tough week but I felt a bit of a turn around, or at least a sense of not everything being completely horrible, yesterday afternoon when I managed to get myself up and out to my volunteer gig. Going to have to keep an eye on how I'm coping at the moment I think, but today is better 🙂

How are you? I am thinking you might fill everyone in on the rave thread so I can read over there if that's where you'll be posting.

Hey @CheerBear thanks for asking! Yesterday was pretty good. I'm ok, though very tired. Have been a bit volatile this week.

My mind is overactive at night, so sleep is off. How bout you? How are you travelling?

Hello @eth @Sans911 @outlander @Teej

Good to here from you @Silenus

Hugs for the tired and the volatile feelings (I get that one a bit 😏) @frog.

Did you get to the things on your list yesterday? I read that your son is having a tough time. It's hard when our kids are struggling. I feel like I want to fix it all for them but often can't.

Re: Just checking in.

Yeah I did do the things on my list yesterday @CheerBear Sounds like you had a bit better day too.

Once I get dog and groceries sorted I'm going to get on daily goals and motivation and put some down for today. Lots on, though Sunday will hopefully be a bit slower. You are so right about kids; want to give them the world and take away pain and struggles. Hard to watch sometimes, and often the best you can do is be available and take care of the practical things like home, food on the table etc.

Re: Just checking in.

Definitely ended up as a better day for me thanks @frog. I really needed something to go OK so I'm glad it happened. Go you getting through what you had planned too. It isn't easy to do sometimes.

It's so, so hard to watch that pain and struggle in our kids and I imagine that gets bigger and harder as they grow up and work through those tricky not child but not yet adult stage. More hugs ❤

Re: Just checking in.

@CheerBear yet again I have written a long response about what's happening for me only to have it blocked for containing a word it does not contain. On the long rave thread as you suggested. This is more than frustrating @Former-Member to have it happen every time I actually share about myself. @Former-Member @Iris
