Best Friends Club

@Former-Member thank you my friend.

My husband has just apologised for being in such a bad mood today and we had a good chat. He has cptsd and so his go to is always that everyone is against him so I reminded him that wd are in the same team.

Colouring is always a lovely thing yo do and so relaxing. The other thing that I found out csn be very relaxing is doing calligraphy...just focusing on something can be a for of meditation.

Are you home now?

@Healandlove I'm glad he apologised, I know it can be hard to remember that some people do care and it sounds like he had a hard day. He is lucky to have you and the you are understanding and there to support him.

I can't do calligraphy, I have tried but it just doesn't work 😂. I'm just sitting here staring at my picture and my pens and I don't know what's really stopping me.

Yeah I'm home.

@Former-Member don't overthink it..just start with one colour and the rest will follow. What picture are you colouring tonight.

Yes I was happy he apologised. In the past he wouldn't have so I guess that's progress.

It's good you are home. Are you feeling more settled these days?

One day at a time lovely.

🫂🫂🫂

@Healandlove it's a picture of mandalas tangled in with each other. Making sense of some sections is a challenge. I have to overthink it otherwise colours could clash or touch each other and that's just not ok 😂.

Sounds like good progress to me.

Being home is nice yes but I'm about to be homeless in less than a month. So feeling settled at the moment isn't really happening. But I'm trying to live minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.

Trying to remember to breathe through the hard moments and accept that it's ok to feel that sometimes things are just all a bit much but it's not the end just a moment in time to get through.

@Former-Member I love the “colours could clash or touch each other and that's just not ok 😂.”

It’s funny because it’s true 😂🤣

@Glisten oh it's so very true. When it happens I get so frustrated and almost rip pictures to shreds over it 😂. I sit there and think why didn't I pay attention to that first, what was i thinking, oh wait I wasn't thinking. A few curse words might be used in the heat of the moment 😂.

Grems @Former-Member you just described me building this bedhead.

One hole for a dowel rod was 3mm out of line. I calmly filled the hole in and went outside for 3 hours, picking up dead branches.

Oh well try again tomorrow.

@Glisten oh that sucks. At least it can be fixed as much as it's frustrating.

Tomorrow is a new day 😊.

I've finally done a couple of bits of my colouring but I'm just not feeling it tonight.

I totally know that feeling of, not feeling it. @Former-Member

Movie?

I might have to watch SG1 again, out of sheer desperation.

There is 0 anything new to watch.

@Glisten I have barely coloured much in. I'm trying to watch my TV show but focusing is proving to be difficult.

SG1 isn't bad to watch at least.

From the minute I woke up today I knew it was going to be a bit of a rough day. But it's almost over and I'm hoping tomorrow is easier.
