Battles

Thankyou beautiful @Shaz51 ❤️

@ENKELI that is still so warm, hoping it cools down more for you sweet.

I can relate to that blah feeling, hope you can get a good night's rest tonight and wake up feeling better tomorrow ❤️.

At the moment there's things going on within my home and I'm not coping (I'm safe for now). Feeling so overwhelmed and ready to snap. Trying to focus on the music that's playing in the hopes I can calm myself down a bit.

@MissGremlin what can I do to help my sweet?

I'm sure I will sleep well enough, it's about the only thing I do well these days!

The things going on in your home, are they negative or positive things honey bunch?

🫂 🤗 xo

@ENKELI just knowing you are here helps so much. I don't like the person I am now, I'm not the same person I was a few months ago and that scares me.

You do so many things well sweetheart, looking after your garden and doing your study. Plus being here and supporting me and others ❤️.

Negative things, lots of verbal abuse and other things i can't say here (I'm safe).

I talked to my counsellor today and she's told me to prepare for our sessions to be terminated cos her manager is being nasty about her supporting me. It's not the right service for me but she doesn't want to leave me with no support, she's been trying to find me that right support but noone will help me.

I just made a burger for dinner so I'm sitting on the kitchen floor eating that.

@MissGremlin your burger sounds delicious and I have this lovely image of you sitting cross legged on the kitchen floor, munching your burger.

I'm so sorry you have to endure so much. I am sending healing hugs to you my sweet.

I just don't understand why your counselling should be terminated. Counselling is counselling, how dare her manager tell her not to support you.

Definitely time for change with our mental health system.

@ENKELI my burger was nice, was a salt and pepper beef pattie, egg and swiss cheese. Was sitting crossed legged and had Casper sitting in front of me, watching every bite I took 😂.

Thankyou sweetheart ❤️.

With the counsellor, she's not one that's qualified for the support that I need. Her senior practitioner is supporting her but the manager is not, so today she told me that she's expecting to have to cancel our sessions soon.

The mental health system needs a big overhaul, so many people are being let down.

How did you go with your study today sweet?

@MissGremlin no study today beautiful, I have one assessment that needs to be submitted by Wednesday next week. I finished reading a book and will water the plants shortly.

Lol I can imagine Casper sitting by you, drooling and hoping for a bit of your burger!

I am planning on writing to several members of parliament to voice my concerns over the lack of support for women with mental health issues.

There is "space" for youth, men, lgbtq+ and indigenous people but I struggle to find something that suits me as a middle aged straight woman.

I can't go into detail about some of the concerns I have but I am definitely going to be bringing up the need for proper free/low cost care.

Are you snuggled in bed with Casper? I had Mal sleeping beside me this morning which is unusual for him in this weather. He was very sookie and I love it when he's like that.

Our furbabies are our wingless angels 😇 💖

@ENKELI finishing a book and watering the plants sounds perfect ☺️.

Casper definitely has the drooling mastered 😂.

Something really needs to change, it shouldn't be this hard to access mental health support. I hope you get some good responses from writing in to them.

Awww i love when they are so affectionate, they are definitely our wingless angels. Yes I'm snuggled in bed with Casper and i have my diamond art in front of me.

@MissGremlin I'm glad you have Casper with you. I hope your night is restful and you get some sleep.

You'll have to show me the diamond painting when you're finished xo

@ENKELI i hope you have a good rest of the evening sweetheart.

I'll definitely post a picture once I'm finished.

Sending you love and hugs beautiful, thankyou for being here ❤️
