EASTER Hang Out Space - All are invited!

EASTER Hang Out Space - All are invited!

Hello Dear Forumites,

As you know, Peer Support Workers will be off having a well-deserved break over the next few days:

Friday 29th March

Saturday 30th March

Sunday 31st March

Monday 1st April

But please note, there will ALWAYS be someone online. The forums will be moderated 24/7.

We recognise that this can be a very difficult time for some members who may experience loneliness, isolation, grief, or sadness.

Thus, we are making this space for everyone who is free to jump on and connect with others.

Meet new people; Share new experiences; Continue to build and develop connections amongst yourselves. This is peer support in action.

Remember, we have our lovely Community Guides who may pop in from time to time: @Zoe7 @Eve7 @Shaz51 @Snowie

Re: EASTER Hang Out Space - All are invited!

Sometimes these connections can be incredibly valuable, isn’t it @Birdofparadise8 🙂

Happy to be beside you here!

Having a place where there’s support without judgement is really important and it’s great we have this space 🙂

just want to gently remind you that you are also a very valuable part of the forums - you bring your own unique contribution which I have also learned from 🙌🏻☺️

I hope you can relax and have a good day today 🌺

Yes, a non-judgmental space is truly wonderful @Former-Member

Aww, you are so sweet. I'm unsure what you'd learn from me, but okay.

🌺🙂💜 @Shaz51

glad to hear you slept ok 🙂

Same here - except the nights are noticeably cooler at a couple hours before dawn lately… feels like the cooler weather is just around the corner. How is it there up the top of Au?
Anything interesting on YouTube, if you’d like to share?

im procrastinating… must..go..do..something! Haha 🤭

Hi @Shaz51, how's your Easter going? I feel like I've finally gotten over a coughing virus I had for about a month and a half, moderate exercising, resting, taking demazin, eating well and keeping up my water have all conquered the bug. It's good because I'll be able to perform at our concert on Friday. We're doing Dark Night of the Soul by Ola Gjeilo and The Field Ubi Caritas by Julian David Bryson.

Hi @oceangirl, happy Easter, how are you?

Re: EASTER Hang Out Space - All are invited!

Sorry to hear that @john74. I'm around if you want to have a cuppa and a chat.

Re: EASTER Hang Out Space - All are invited!

It is, isn’t it @Birdofparadise8 🌺🙂

Ok, shall I mention what I have learned from you?
I hope it’s ok with you - remember everything is said in positivity and kindness… 🙂

I have learned to not give up when things get hard, because despite going through tough times, you still have the drive and determination to seek out help and seek out a solution

I have learned to be very clear in communication, so I am ensuring I am helpful 🙂

I have learned that there’s always hope, if you keep reaching out, which is something I see you do often

and I have learned that no matter how hard things get, there’s always a better day if you keep trying

These things I had mostly let go, and chatting with you has brought back their importance 🌺🙂

thanks, Birdofparadise8

Thank you for highlighting them for me.

Re: EASTER Hang Out Space - All are invited!

It's always good to start exercising slowly @BPDSurvoivor because the more slowly you do the exercise the greater the benefit to the muscles. So the slower your walk, the stronger your ankle shin and knee muscles and hip muscles become... and you shouldn't push exercise to the point of pain, the minute you feel physical pain, stop the exercise and allow the area to recover.

Re: EASTER Hang Out Space - All are invited!

Even jogging iand push-ups are better for you if you pace yourself at a slightly slower level going down and up, and you're less likely to injure yourself when doing them slowly @BPDSurvivor.
