Re: I Want friends
Today is a better day for me ♡
I would love some rain its been really hot. Except it gets quite humid after the rain. I love the sound of it on the roof and the smell of it on the dusty ground.
I live about 45 minutes from Toowoomba. It's a great spot in winter not so much in the summer heat.
So how do you have your cuppa ?
Are you a coffee or tea person ?
I did cut out sugar for a while ... however i wasn't strong enough to keep going. I tell myself i need the energy ...

Re: I Want friends
There's lots of fabulous people on here im still getting used to traveling around these forums.
I like to think im a quick learner but technology does overwhelm me sometimes.
I wasn't sure what the '@' was used for. I thought perhaps it was Twitter ...
I will catch on 😮
I do love Cairns area. I will stop whinging about the humidity .... its far worse up there.
We would travel there for holidays as kids. Back then there was lots of dirt roads. I visited again many years later and there was bitumen everywhere.
It rains so much more up there with the rainforests. I love the wildlife there also. I have possums here where i live.
I just discovered two new boys. Both juveniles so i hope they will stay and not be chased away.
My dad is helping me build boxes for them all. We will need to make lots more now

Re: I Want friends
I realized something was wrong with me in my mid twenties. I had no idea what was happening to me. I thought i was the only person in the world with something wrong with them.
I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about my thoughts. It wasn't until i had a major self harm episode i realized i needed help and support.
It's very hard to confront ourselves and admit we have an illness. I really admire you for your staying power with your family.
You would be a great support person on here and to the community in general. I know it helps me to have others around who don't have MI but will try to understand and treat me like everyone else.
Sometimes i can't deal with people in person due to my anxiety so it's great to be able to chat with someone like yourself ♡
