@rav3n Good morning lovely. It’s so good to see you online. I just made my first coffee for the day and am so glad you tagged me.
What have you been up to? I’m just sitting on the porch getting a bit of sunshine.

it's so lovely to see you too 💙 @Cuddlebear it does look nice outside my window, i might go catch some sun too before it disappears. how are you going? have you got much on for today?
i've been working on the forums newsletter (which might be ready in a week, fingers crossed!!!) and outside of the forums world, i've been trying to clean up and prep for this weekend. i'm hosting a lil 'games' night with my cousins where we all bring our own board games/card games and play. one of them is bringing giant uno cards that are supposed to be bigger than our face so i'm looking forward to that 😆

@rav3n Wow UNO cards as big as our faces is awesome and soooo funny! Shuffling those will be a lot of fun lol! A games night sounds so good. It’s such a cool way of getting together.
oooh you are putting the very first newsletter together! How’s it going? Is it hard?
I don’t have much on at all. My support worker is taking me to local MP to talk to them again about the housing situation and find out if they have heard from Housing Minister. Not looking forward to it. It really makes me feel awful. Then she will take me for a food shop. Not exciting but it’s all I can do as I’m too depressed and anxious. Then nothing for next 4 days. Friends don’t understand chronic depression so I’m pretty much alone.

omg i didn't even think of the shuffling! i was too busy worrying about how i'd hide my cards from the people next to me 😆 @Cuddlebear
it's going well so far! i feel the community members did the hard work (which is writing up the pieces they wanted to submit), so now i get to put them into one layout. it's definitely more time-consuming than i thought but i am enjoying it! i can't wait for you to check it out!
i'm so sorry that your friends don't understand chronic depression, is it something you've tried talking to them about before? i am, however, really glad you're here in this community 💗
it's hard moving around when you're feeling low hey. what sort of activities do you like doing? i feel like i have 'high' and 'low' energy activities that i rotate between depending on my mood. i'm hoping the chat with MP goes okay, glad you've got your SW going with you.

Officially moved house, and I feel, I feel, overwhelmed and alone

Hey @avant-garde moving day is a big day, it's understandable that you'd be feeling overwhelmed right now.
I hear you're feeling alone too, and we can sit with you here and have a chat and a cuppa if that'd be helpful, or maybe just a chat if you haven't got your cuppa things handy at the moment having just moved
