Morning @MissGremlin, how is Casper doing this morning?

My head is not a very nice place to be in this morning. Doing it tough.

@rav3n @Ru-bee

Hello @NightFury, Casper is still not 100% but we at least had a solid bowel movement just before so fingers crossed he is getting better.

I understand the headspace, I had a really rough night and only had 2 hours of very broken sleep.

How are you going now?

@rav3n

hey @MissGremlin absolutely hear you about Casper, hope he's doing a lil better 💙

and hi @NightFury sorry to hear it's been a rough start. here if you wanna chat 💙

Hello @MJG017 oh that's so frustrating, hope it's sorted now?

Oh that all sounds really positive, I really hope something good comes out of it for you. It's about time something changes that's for sure.

Thankfully Casper seems to be doing a bit better today although still not 100%, a solid bowel movement made me happy, he was up every hour last night with the runs. I couldn't sleep either, I'd no sooner doze off for 10-20 minutes then he would wake up needing to go out again. Thankyou for helping to hold that hope, I'm not quite ready to take it back yet, not after last night. Today is another day of resting, I went to the shops and now I'm back in bed cos I really feel like sh!t. He's been getting lots of cuddles so I'll be sure to give him some from you aswell.

What have you been up to today?

@rav3n @MissGremlin operating on very little sleep. I know that this week will be a big one and I'm going to have to push myself but I'm already pushing myself and I'm at capacity.

I'm just...overwhelmingly tired and want to sleep all day. But I have work, and I have my niece afternoons/evenings this week and a 2500 word assignment due on the weekend. So, push, I must....

I applied for an extension on my assignment, but may not get it. I need to provide documentary evidence of the reason why - I don't have my GP appointment until the 10th, which is after the essay is due. I'm trying to reach out for support and communicate what's happening for me and no one hears me.

I woke up this morning deep in shame. I don't know how to unpack that, but it's sent my thoughts to a really unsettling place.

@NightFury i know things have been so hard for you lately and i worry about you burning yourself out.

You have so much happening this week and no room to just take some time for yourself. I'm frustrated that it's so hard to get an extension even when you are trying to explain the situation and get support, it just doesn't seem fair.

Its so hard to unpack things when there's already been so much going on. I know those unsettling thoughts all too well. Know that I'm sitting with you and you are not alone.

@NightFury oh gosh, i hated those 2500 word assignments, anything over 1500 words is just a lotttt. totally hear that it's tiring, hoping you get some lil breaks in to recharge!!

have you gotten an online medical certificate before? they do cost more, i think $30-80 depending on what site you use - i used UpDoc in the past and i'd get an online cert within 12hrs most times, which my uni always approved.

we're around if you wanted to unpack the 'shame' you mentioned? no pressure of course.

solid bowel movement is a win for today! @MissGremlin

yep, i'm with you, didn't get the best sleep last night either. should we get a cuppa soon to re-energise? let me know when you do so i can use it as motivation to make myself some 😂

@rav3n I don't even know where to start, to be honest. The shame...is a real challenge. It's shutting me down from even talking about it. If that makes sense?

I've not gotten an online medical certificate before, but thanks for sharing because that could be an option.

Sorry @MissGremlin not ignoring you, just got a lot going on around me at the moment. I'm still at work and everyone wants a piece of me.

I am actually worried about myself too.
