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.

Just checking in after being awol for a bit. I’m afraid I haven’t really read much on the forum over the past week to know how everyone is going. I have lots on still and will have big stresses for me for a few more weeks. The good news is that the new meds seem to be helping me. My mood has lifted from last week and I’m just trying to put one foot infront of the other, some days it’s better than others.
My past is hitting me constantly in the face frequently and causing lots of messy brain and mixed emotions ......and value dilemmas @CheerBear 🤯. I think i need it (property to be sold) to be over soon to move on and have a new beginning as he is moving interstate.

I’m looking forward to him moving interstate @CheerBear . I need to break all those connections for my own mh. I don’t sleep the night before I see him and then become overwhelmed with the past and mixed emotions when I do, which I’ve had to do twice this week already.
How are you? What has been happening for you?

Has sibling been a good thing @CheerBear ? I’m hoping yes and that you have that extra pair of hands when you need them.
Argggh to taking on that bureaucratic nightmare. I saw my friend today who is going to be forced onto ndis. It is so wrong in every way. The system as it was was so helpful to here but apparently by 2020 all those supports will have to be transferred to the ndis with all new workers.....🤬makes my blood boil.
🤯 for the feral end of year stuff with kids. It’s always kind of good but crazy too.
The last treatment. Does that mean it hasn’t worked and there will be no more treatments?

Sending love and strength to you @Teej . Hopefully this time of transition will pass soon and things will settle down for you. So many bridges to cross in the meanwhile. I am and will be thinking of you often and sending warm wishes and hope your way.

Hi to all 👋🏻
yep @eth it’s been so busy and so many new hurdles and head messes but the last week I have been a bit more stable again. I’m finding I’ve not got much brain left at the end of the day. Thank you for your well wishes. I send them back to you. 💜🤗
@CheerBear I was passing the break place today and was lucky enough to catch the coordinator. I found out that I may be able to go again. It’s too chaotic to go now but might see what’s on offer later. I know I’ll need to reset and find a new direction when this is all over.
Things are pretty stressful in every way currently. I’m experiencing financial stress in a hard to deal with 'stick my head in the sand' way. At home it’s also been a stressful time with kidults. More injuries, uni exams and constant chaos with property renovations of the house to be sold. I’m doing lots of organising now. I’m hoping that it’s just two more weeks. It feels like months since I started saying just a couple more weeks. I do know that there will be an end at some point 🤯.
hugs to all reading.
