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 @Former-Member
How are you going today? Thinking of you
My head feels like its stuffed with straw today, no brain left in there either, just a pile of mush.

@Former-Member have read a little of what you ahve been going through - my heart goes out to you and my warmest of thoughts are with you.
So glad you have finally got some sleep.
I need to go offline in a little while to have some time away from the world - I am ok - just need to work through some stuff and then maybe I'll be able to sleep.
It is starting to warm up and the sun is coming out so I am going to try and make it to the beach - feel safe there and don't get too stressed when my mind is racing - best place for me to be today!
Will be thinking of all of you when I'm there as you all (forum family) no matter what you are going through are so special and always in my thoughts. xxx

Hi @Former-Member doesn't sound like you are doing well... with a "head full of straw"... sending strength & hugs

Hi @Zoe7, @Former-Member, @TAB, @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope
I had a 13.5 hours sleep. I did take a double dose to make sure 😳 They have helped me calm today too as my brain is fuzzy but calm, I very much needed the calm. I'll probably not be around the forum much today, I'm just going to potter around the house. No brain to write much which I think is a good thing. Take care and thanks for all your support last night when I was going down. 💜🤗💐

HI Peeps
I am really tired today for whatever reason - and I can't concentrate
I am okay - I am going to finish my chores and lie on the bed and read for a while
It could be the weather - in Melbourne we had some hot weather and now it is bleak and raining - not that cold - but the heat knocks me around in my old age
So I will be back later - maybe even tonight - but I need to take a break today
