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 That's a big let down and I totally get why it would drive you batty, plus the disappointment of it. Good to hear that you messaged him. Fingers crossed that he'll apologise, explain what happened, and find a way to repair things eventually... but I know in the meantime it's going to suck and I don't have any advice on how to reduce the suckiness. 😞
Hmmmm I don't know about a battle move, but maybe 😉 I've got 3 badges but need to train up some useful pokemon to take on the fighting gym. My current team would just get knocked out. I caught a Farfetch'd so I'm excited to evolve it, so training him up will be a good chance. 😄
Also WHAT is up with the Galarian Meowth?! They look so disturbing. I got a Mr Mime and he's weird-looking enough, but I can't get over the Meowth XD
How are you going with the game? Are you focusing on the pokedex now?

I'm really pleased that you heard back from your psych today, that he put in the referral like you'd discussed, and that he's trying to do it in a least-disruptive way. Still facepalming (face swatting?) about him forgetting until late though.
Big thumbs up for the big slow breaths. You've got this @CheerBear 🙂
I think if I was a trainer I'd be all about fire, fighting and dragon pokemon. There's no subtleties or strategy to my techniques, just pure power lol. Haha that would've been funny having a leek surfboard. 😉
On no that's a pain about the pokedex not telling you anymore! I've been relying on it to point things out for me. I always forget if I've caught a certain pokemon or not. After all that I didn't do much training up today, but I caught a Mrs Mr Mime (I guess even pokemon can be transgender) and just tried to do some stuff in the wild area.
Good luck on your ponyta hunt! 🙂

Good luck @CheerBear , had my bag packed to go with you. Spent the day either catatonic (metaphorically) or crying. Working my way through it now.
Big big hugs and many fingers, toes, arms etc crossed that it all goes smoothly. 💜🤗

That’s so great that it has worked out well and your experience a good one. @CheerBear . I so hope your stay will help.
I have been thinking about respite but the timings not quite right. My head is spinning so much. I have space home alone for most of the day which helped. I’m not yet in crisis stage.
Heres hoping that your stay will be a great chance to reset and pick up all the CB pieces that have been falling off under so much pressure.
Hi to everyone here too. So sorry not much of a conversationist (new word) lately. Head mashed up a bit.
