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.

@CheerBear I guessed by your avatar that it is dark and alone. Sitting in the quiet under the tree, drinking coffee, talking about dots and more dots. Not minimising anything, I know the feels are REALLY HARD. Feeling with you......and caring lots.🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💜☕️☕️☕️

@CheerBear Being hit with the guilty feels, I know that one. Sneaky little liar 😖😖
I’m proud of you for making the decision not to go, that is a hard one......and you did it, so good on you.
Being a solo mum IS a BIG one @CheerBear and I’m sorry you don’t have help there, or much help, especially when storms hit.
Thanks for being NOT FINE for a few moments.

@CheerBear Just finished my second ☕️☕️ Today I can hide in my cave all day😁😁🙃🙃. My painting lady is doing something with friends. I don’t have to pick up lunch, which I feed to the birds. Which means I don’t have to face anyone......I can be NOT FINE.
A sleep in is a good start. I hope you can be good to yourself today, weaving in between LF.

@CheerBear Yes 😥😥 my cave gets very lonely, very alone. But I am just so very clumsy ( emotionally) around people. More than one person leaves me with the, I have to escape big feel. Behind my FINE is REALLY scared. I big fear is rejection for me. That is turned on high always. Lots of little feels in a big ( adult ) body. 😥😥
