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 saying hi. It’s been a big week and I’ll likely be absent until at least Tuesday if not the next weekend. All my time is just getting through what I need to for now.
Love and hugs to all who want them

Hope everyone's doing OK.
I had a psych session yesterday. I was worried about it going to **** but it turned out pretty good.

I hadn't thought of asking that @CheerBear . I'll have to consider whether it's something I want to know.
That sounds like a helpful way of clarifying things. I definitely don't do that, but usually I don't even realise that there's something that I'm unclear about until well after the conversation has passed.
It was kind of ok being emotional. It made it very hard to say what I was trying to say (at one point I was like "if I could get the ****ing sentence out!" :face_with_rolling_eyes:) but I eventually said some stuff even if it wasn't worded the best way it could've been. Thankfully it was still less emotional than I had been on my own when preparing for the session, so I'm glad it didn't end up that much. It helped that he didn't do/say anything until I'd finished trying to say the thing. And then that we didn't end with things still being emotional was certainly helpful.
Very cool that your gig was good today too 🙂
