Something’s not right

It's happening again

It's happening again

sleeping too much, barely eating, overthinking, not wanting to talk to anybody, but no response when I do...

I've done the whole get out and socialise thing. Put on a warm happy face, say hi, make chit chat, random kindnesses, create smiles. But at the end of the day when I am sick, and my children are sick, and money is gone, and bills are due, and groceries are few ... and it might be nice to recieve a "hey, how are you?" In return...you realise what a stranger you are, living in a darkened skip bin of no second thought.

We're only human they say.

Hmm... that must be some low value kind of thing, to be only human.

from dirt and dust we come and shall return. But what of the dreams and divinity that fills our lungs? Perhaps they are just an illusion afterall.

thank you @Snowie

I've finally kicked my butt all the way to the shower and will take on trying to make Anzac biscuits for the kidlets.

I've not made them before...any tips?

Re: It's happening again

A shower is a good start @Kyle1 Always makes me feel a little better.

No tips unfortunately, never made Anzac biscuits before. Will cook dinner but not much of a baker.

thank you @tyme

And seems you had a birthday recently, too, is that right?

There seems to be a lot of Virgos here about!

I do hope you had a reassuring day 🙏

Hehehe, yes. It was yesterday. @Kyle1 . I was only contemplating that as kids, we are always waiting to reach the next birthday. Yet as adults, we barely remember how old we are! I have to calculate it every year now. I can't keep track 🙂

Hi @Kyle1,

I'm sorry to hear things have been tough lately.

I know it can be difficult to find motivation when you're feeling low, so I hope you're able to acknowledge and be proud of the effort you've been putting into things, no matter how 'small'.

I hope today has been a little easier for you. How did the Anzac biscuits turn out?

hi @puzzlingdino

Yeah, I'm feeling really low tonight. I do thank you for messaging me. I was hoping someone might...

The Anzac biscuits worked a treat. So much so, I made a second batch next day

Hey @Kyle1,

I hear ya, those low nights can be rough. Hopefully you can find some little comforts tonight and then things might feel a bit easier in the morning. Is there anything in particular on your mind at the moment?

I'm glad to hear the Anzac biscuits worked well and that you were able to make some more! Is there anything else you like to bake? My go-to is brownies 🙂

Thank you @puzzlingdino

I'm grateful for the chance to talk a little tonight. I'm not exactly in a positive mood though. I may just be tired. I've taken a little more medication than I should have because I just want to escape this feeling and sleep myself away for the night.
