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 @Shaz51 , thank you.
I'm here for everyone else 24/7 too, thanks again!
I'm OK, I just have my moments, so I could be feeling alright then get down, I don't know why really. I always get more depressed at night time especially when it's dark, something about the night time I guess? Not sure why.

Just checking in @Former-Member . I wanted to send you a message that you are a valued member of the forum. I'm so sorry that things are really tough. I've not been great at communicating on the forum much in the last few months but always appreciate your posts and supports. I read your post on the worry room recently and my heart went out to you. You have much happening in real life that you deserve support with. I know that you have to do what is right for YOU! I wanted you to know that things do blow up and blow over on the forum. It's happened here before and will again. I know there is much support for you. You have been a big part of the forum community. Please take care of you. Sending hugs 🤗💜.

So nice to see you too @Sans911 . I'm trying to find my feet. I have a hit list of members to catch up with which you are on. I have started and not posted to quite a few of you lately. There was a long one to you. I'm sorry for all that has happened for you over the last 10 days ish (no idea of time line).
i was pretty stoked to read you are doing a nursing refresher course. Good for you. We need your skills currently. I hope you get lots out of it.
im sitting here on hold waiting for the bank to answer me. Grr. I just came off hold as I realised writing it I haven't got much of my call allowance left this month. I may need to go in.

Just checking in. Sorry for falling off again. I had a difficult situation with my son for a while, then had lots of self doubt about me on the forum.
I really want to be here though and will endeavour to take small steps frequently to rejoin this community. I still believe in it strongly.
My personal development has been pretty huge learning about adhd and me again. As part of this I'm going to use the pomodore strategy for my forum time starting today. 20 min stints then walk away until I can do my next 20 min stint.......without checking in between, reading posts or checking responses 😱😜.
Being that different person everyday we'll see how that goes for now. Anyone taking bets on how long I will keep this up? 💜🤗😘😜
it's going to take a while to catch up and find my feet. My son moved out this weekend just gone. It's been a very mixed time having him home 24/7. Some great and not so great times. I think we are both looking forward to the space. I know my brain is needing time and space to breathe again.
I'll drop in on threads throughout the week and start getting back into some CG posts as well.
💜🤗 or 👊🏻💐 to those who want them.
