Hiya,

Sounds like you are overthinking everything.

Just learn to like yourself first. Sometimes loving yourself is a big step.

I am working on this myself. I am trying to do some self compassion exercises.

Writing down one thing I like about myself each day. If this is too hard, something that I am grateful for.

Heya @tyme

How was Tarzan?

Hey @Oaktree @Rockdog !

I watched the musical Tarzan about 2 weeks ago. It was GREAT! The stage was really close to the audience and we were in the front row so they were all THERE. We felt immersed in the experience. I was a bit um and argh... a bit bored at the beginning, but when the acrobatics turned up a level, it was sensational!

One thing I think that can be improved at the gorilla costumes. I've seen other Tarzan versions and their gorilla costumes were more thrilling....

The little one couldn't come because she was so so sick at home. So I only took the two older kids which was just as well because I think the little one would be scared.

@Rockdog , It's school holidays so I've taken the kids camping. I think they are enjoying it... lots of screaming because they are a bit excited, but hopefully it gets better. I've been going swimming with them everyday for a few hours.

Please look after yourselves!

Hi @tyme ,

well done for going camping. I’m sure the kids will be loving it. Hope you all have a great time. 😊

Phew! We came back yesterday. The kids wanted to stay longer, but I think I'd had enough @Rockdog

Then today, my sister already booked the next camping trip!

I think most of Melb is watching the footy. What are you up to?

Hey @tyme,

lol that is funny. I would be worn out from that. Camping sounds like hard work. I watched some of the footy, but my Hawks lost so didn’t really care. I went kart racing which was fun. I was thinking more over the weekend about doing the Certificate IV in mental heath. I know you mentioned a pathway to a few of us, but I am not sure where you posted it. Was just wondering if you might have the link to it?

Hey @Rockdog ,

How are you? Hope you are okay.

Thinking about you. What's happening on your side? Shoulders back? Chin up?

@Rockdog

If you are in WA I just linked the application for the scholarship CoMHWA are offering over on Morning Check-in page 58

Cert IV Mental Health Peer Work – Consumers of Mental Health WA

You have to be quick though because applications close 5pm 24th Oct 25

Also you should get @tyme to check your application by emailing her at team@saneforums.org

Hey @Rockdog , hope you have a good week ahead!

Hey @tyme ,

hope you are going well. Things have been really up and down for me. Have been very busy. It is funny, I thought life was going really well in a different direction. Now I don’t know, I think it might be about to come crashing down. I still have a girlfriend but now I don’t think she is too sure. That will be hard to take. How was your weekend? I didn’t do much.

Look @Rockdog , no one knows the future. Be honest with yourself and with her. I hear you have some reservations. Would you consider speaking to her about this?

In a way, staying busy serves a purpose in terms of distraction.

Just keep hanging in there. You deserve the very best. You deserve to feel contentment and satisfaction with whatever happens in life.
