Who's Up for a Random Chat?

@Snowie you will always be one of pea's favourite pple 🙂

@rav3n what are you going as?

Nice to see everyone @Snowie @Bunniekins @ArraDreaming @Eve7 @StuF !

That's so interesting about your local cup @ArraDreaming . I only learnt that today because someone I was talking to mentioned it.

@Bunniekins , that's okay if you can't have an extended chat. Even if you are here for a bit 🙂 We love having you. Do you still have rabbits?

@Eve7 , you made me giggle with what you posted lol. That's sort of me too. Waiting for dinner to be cooked.

@Snowie , and plans for your extended time with the kid/s?

Sorry if I've missed anyone!

Yikes @rav3n , what time is this party????

Btw, I didn't have a single person knock on my door yesterday - not that I celebrate halloween or anything.

As I was driving this morning, I was thinking of all the poor people who hate randoms knocking on their door. Do they sit in terror every Halloween and dread trick or treaters? I'm thinking more of those who struggle with their mental health and really DON'T want randoms around their place...

Thoughts?

@Bunniekins i'm dressing up as 'Men In Black' agent - i know it's not a proper 'scary' costume, i didn't get time to order one. have you dressed up for halloween before?

@tyme oh tyme my last bunny passed over the rainbow earlier this year. i give money to a bunny sanctury and a local animal charity these days. not emotionally able to look after one atm.

Hi guys,

I have noticed that it has been really quiet lately. Not good for me as a social butterfly on the forums anyway. Not in real life. I have to run to the shops soon. Hubby needs prescriptions

@rav3n the last dress up party i went as Anne Boleyn my fav queen. was a long time ago.

It just so happens, today is my Saturday. I have the next two days off, so my weekend has begun.

It’s filled with all sorts of mundane tasks: Washing the laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, etc.

I’ve had a good week this week. I’ve worked many long days, 10-12 hour shifts, been at home for the minimal time and not exposed to one of my major triggers, I’ve slept half decently, and I’ve had a full day out hiking and reconnecting with nature this week!

It’s been a full 6 days, yes 6, without any intrusive thoughts whatsoever. Surely this must be a record for me!

And today was also the visit-the-psychologist-day, a nice chance to try to get a grip on what is usually a deep depression by now.

She agrees that I’m finally starting to make a little progress, so today we delved deeper into some of the underlying causes of the intrusive thoughts and my horrendous depressions and mood swings… and for the first time, I’m beginning see a glimmer of hope, and if not hope exactly, perhaps understanding what is happening.

It feels good to finally see some progress after 10 months of some of the darkest days I’ve seen in 25 years.
