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.

Hi @CheerBear and good morning.
To you too @TheVorticon I totally get the feeling you describe - it's happening for me at the moment too. Sometimes a thing is a thing! Our perception and what's real for us is what matters, what we have to deal with.

yes there has been soo much happened in the last 5 days @BlueBay , that mr shaz could not remember all the details
so the specialist asked me what has happened over the last week -- mr shaz was surprised with all the running around we did and was not surprised that mr shaz had a breakdown

Oh @Shaz51 it’s sounds like life is really hard and a big juggling act just now. You must be mentally and physically exhausted.
@CheerBear , @eth thanks for the check in.
I cant write much now as I have heaps to do. I am having lots of struggle times that are testing all my coping strategies to the max. Dealing with my ex constantly is doing my head in. Hormonally I’m all over the place feeling like I want to cry all the time. I’m sure it’s a mix of everything but I can feel the hormone part too.
Ill try try to catch up soon. The house as supposed to be ready by this weekend but is a long way from it.

Hi @Teej nice to see you and thanks for checking in. I'd noticed you weren't around much and have been thinking of you. So much on your plate right now. Hang in there. Hoping you go alright having the house done in time. I didn't know you are post-op from something and hope your recovery gets better for you. Take care lovely xx
