Am Not Coping

Yes the facilitator of the group assigns what we need to work on for the week based on what we did in the group @Owlunar A lot of it has to do with our interctions with others so there have been many times when I couldn't do it as I didn't actually see anyone or have any issues in that regard to deal with. I am finding some of the skills useful in the meetings we have as most of those are very negative and I need to try to get my point across as well - that has been impossible under some circumstances but it is what it is. I do feel like I am biting my tongue through so much of it though - what I wuld ideally like to say would not benefit me so I keep quiet. I just need to get through one day at a time, get to the holidays and then go from there - that is all I can do right now.

Hi everyone,

We can really understand the difficult feelings that some of you may be feeling around not having access to the forums when you are overseas, however it is still really vital that we respect the guidelines. This guideline exists for a really important reasons, with the main one being member's safety.

If a member were to ever post that they were at a serious risk, we would want to follow through our Duty of Care and ensure appropriate supports have been connected to them. If the member is overseas, we are severly limited in doing this which would be so concerning to that member as well as our own team. We don't want to put anyone in that position, on either side. You can read more about this here

If you are feeling unsure or have any questions please email the team at team@saneforums.org

@Former-Member I think that those affected by this guideline fully understand the circumstances and reasoning behind it and although it doesn't make it easy to deal with they do accept it.

@Faith-and-Hope How is your day going Hon?

@Former-Member sending you some of these also

Thanks @Zoe7 💜💖💖💜 To you too.

Had to food shop. Just got home and am having a lie down.

Not sure I’ll be able to cook tonight.

Have been very slack lately. Just had some potato chips. No lunch today. I really need to get back into healthy eating. Maybe I’ll talk myself into cooking something easy later.

I drove to the beach to go for a walk. Made it to the closest seat and that was it.

I hate this heavy depressing feeling.

Whats for dinner at yours?

How was the pool today?

I am going travelling @Former-Member .... 👋 .... and yep, have accepted that is the reason for the change in guidelines, as uncomfortable as that might be. I don’t envy you having to create and hold boundaries that are difficult to arrive at with our best interests as a community in mind ..... and I respect its a tough gig.

Hi @Zoe7 @Former-Member .... anyone else around .....

I’m a bit grrr this afternoon. Mr. has asked to ditch the Christmas prezzies for o/s family, and travel art supplies, to make room for all the food he feels compelled to take with him ..... whatever he hasn’t ordered online and had delivered there for weeks ... 😡

Whinge over ...., drinking cherry beer with a friend / neighbour before getting back into my assignment work.

How was the pool @Zoe7 ?

Gkad you got got some fresh sea air at the beach @Former-Member, and got to sit there peacefully for a little bit.

I had a similar thing as your beach seat with the pool today. I made it there and started doing my exercises but stopped early, floated around for a little while and got out early @Former-Member I should count that I made it there as a win just as you should for getting to the beach and at least making it to the seat. Some days we can only do a little and that is enough.

I haven't thought about dinner - I had a late lunch so not really hungry but might get something easy myself a bit later.

That is totally ridiculous of Mr @Faith-and-Hope - no wonder you are feeling angry

You have spent all that time getting things organised and have a right to take things with you Hon but I know it is a tough position for you to be in too

I couldn't get into the pool today but I made it there.

Wanted to send a photo. Not sure how to @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope
