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.

Hey @CheerBear your post about Rocket reminded me of something I was told years ago. Cats are capable of stalking so stealthily that they can stop one bell from ringing - you can beat this by putting 2 bells on their collar that tinkle against each other. Random fact no. 35!!

Hi 👋 @CheerBear and all.
Having a rough ride still but hanging in there. Had some good news last night that feels like a light 💡. I was offered respite next week with the group I’ll not be able to do passed 1st July. It couldn’t have come at a better time. On Wednesday my psychiatrist and I talked about a short hospital stay but there were no beds available. The plan I left with was if I felt myself in that dark hole I needed to go to ED and she would have all her notes on the system for them to hopefully find a bed. The respite place is a much better fit for me.
This weekend I have to physically face all the big stuff and go to my old house. It feels pretty big and a big hurdle to jump through.
On a different note I shared my psych report with my therapist yesterday. She was thrilled and said my psych nailed it. It was the first time I’ve had two mh professionals on the same page. They even agree on the diagnosis which is a different again but one I can live with. It feels the most fitting to me too.
I hope your worky thing goes well. I need to try this thing called a shower soon and go to the physio.
Im so sorry to everyone who had tagged me. I have been very much in my own head getting through minute by minute, hour by hour.
