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 Hope you are ok, safe but not too ‘ normal and fine’. Sending 💙💙💙

Just checking in @Teej , thinking of you as I often do and hoping you're going OK enough. Missing you but understand that time-out is important too.
I found this one and it made me think of you
Here and listening (when I'm more "hit" than "miss" - still a bit all over the place) if it could help. Big ❤

Hey @CheerBear . Thanks for the shout out. It's just been a chaotic month. I'm ok for today. Just been out for cake and coffee with my parents. First time I've had cake for months. Tomorrow I go back to healthier eating after I fell off the wagon for the past few weeks with that part.
I go into respite on tuesday for a few days. I need this reset big time. I'm feeling very lucky to be able to go. The activities planned are all new to me and look good.
Life is returning to somewhat more normal but all those big decisions I've had haven't been worked out in detail yet. I'll still need to do that when I get back from Respite. Some involving centrelink 😬. There is an end date for it all coming up soon though. Only a few more weeks to worry about ex will mess up my life anymore. Have been back to lawyer this week.
I'm going to say thank you on another thread and might be missing for this week but then 🤞🏻will be back here and life might go at a more manageable pace for me.
hugs 🤗💜
