Far and Away

HI everyone 👋💕

Sorry to heat that your headache has persisted too @Zoe7 . As @Former-Member said, I hope it’s an easy day for you with lots of rest moments in it, and hopefully a rest day again tomorrow ?

Thank you @Former-Member . Hoping today is one where you have some self-care moments. Thinking of you often and gently.

@Shaz51 oh no ...... it’s such a helpless feeling to see these things coming and all you can do is be there. Take care of you too ......

oh @Zoe7 so sorry to hear you've had a nasty headache. I get them sometimes & it is truly awful. Hope the painkillers helped today at work, you're very brave to get in there and work. I hope you are ok right now, sending you good vibes.

hi @Shaz51 that's so hard that mr. shaz is unwell. You're such a strong person to support him. my brother is very unwell overseas & it has triggered my own MI so much that I have to take a break from him. You look after yourself and your ankle Shaz, you're a wonderful person.

hi @Faith-and-Hope wow it sounds like your skills and mind are expanding! I'm trying to get library work and technology skills is my big flaw, I find it really hard so I'm well impressed you're forging ahead with it

Hi @Bimby2 👋 💕

Thank you for your well-wishes, and all the best for your day 🌷

@BryanaCamp maybe some community based short courses are available ? TAFE maybe ? Computer technology has really frustrated me at times, so learning how a computer “thinks” is really helpful in a way I think I hadn’t anticipated. Our course is art-based, so the technological learning is in support of that ..... but can now be more generally applied. It is enabling other areas of my life by default.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope @BryanaCamp @Shaz51 @Former-Member Made it through the day with the help from pain meds but left as soon as I could. There was an after school get together for one of the teachers that is retiring but I didn't stay for that - said my goodbyes and snuck out to come home and rest.

I have DBT and GP tomorrow but will decide about DBT in the morning - very much depends on how I am feeling when I wake up. I will make it to my GP though as I haven't seen her for a few weeks.

Sending you all hugs and some happy vibes - think we all need those today

Good going @Zoe7 . I probably would have been torn about social obligation and appearing to be nice but it is a strength that you put you first & excused yourself early, good onya.

Your GP sounds like a big emotional support to you so it's probably good if you can see her. The DBT, thought you'd given that up? I am the worst person to chime in on this as I hate group therapy, it only makes me enraged but you seem to get a lot more out of DBT groupwork than I would - is it missable for you emotional well-being?

DBT is missable tomorrow and I will be staying home if I am not better in the morning @BryanaCamp We have a really nice and supportive group for DBT so that makes it so much easier to want to go. I was going to stop after the last module but both the facilitator and my pdoc thought this module would be good for me to end on - I had a few 'down' weeks and they didn't think it was wise to end just yet without that extra support. This will definitely be my last module though - it will mean I have done all the modules twice.

@Faith-and-Hope How did your appointment go today Hon?

Hi @Zoe7 👋 🌷💕

I am glad you sneaked away for some self-care time.

It was okay @Zoe7 , but still messy ..... there is just so much information that it is hard to know what to do with in the getting-to-know-you realm. I’m thinking that I speak quite matter-of-factly about things that are a bit shocking, because I am so used to them, or so over them.
