@NightFury i hear you sweet. Sending you hugs and I'm here if you want to chat at all.

Thanks @MissGremlin I'm just processing still, but I really appreciate it.

Hello @NightFury @MissGremlin @Shaz51 ,

How are you all going tonight?

I haven't been here for a few days, and it's already PAGES since I last read! Love the connection, even if it's here there and everywhere.

Hello @tyme, things are a bit rough tonight for me. Starting a medication and then stopping it suddenly really takes a toll on one's body. I've just been resting and having snuggles with Casper.

How are you going?

Blerghhh! Med changes are HECTIC!!!

Hence I take my med changes soooo slow lol. It's been 7 years since I reduced my last dose lol. I've been due for another one for a long time, but I can never be bothered because it's never a 'good' time. I don't want the side effects!

I'm glad you have Casper. How often do you have to take him for training? @MissGremlin

I am so sorry that these thoughts are so prominent for you at the moment. You are incredibly strong, you know that? @MissGremlin 💛

Milo is a great choice!! Do you like eating it on ice-cream? 😋

Oh I just read this sentence about your counsellor saying you are strong - seems like we are both seeing the same thing. 😉

I think your strength lies within your ability to reach out, so letting her know that having support has been helping you is more than encouraged. Let me know what you decide to say - we can workshop things too?

I spent my morning walking out in the sun, then I went to pilates and got an iced latte. Simple joys. 😋

Did you pop into the sleep webinar tonight?

@tyme they really are. I'm not on any other medication. But was only on this one for 6 days, the side effects were too severe hence having to stop it suddenly but even the short time I was on it was enough to give withdrawals. Hoping it eases soon cos I'm over feeling blah.

Honestly medications are great when they work but starting and stopping them sucks.

Casper is still just doing training with me as he isn't yet desexed so can't be registered. He's exempt until he is 18 months old.

Hello @tyme

Looks like I am getting a cold now on top of having the flu

@MissGremlin , @AuntGlow , @NightFury

Is Casper exempt because he is training @MissGremlin ? Sorry, I'm all new to this.

@Shaz51 , so sorry to hear you have a cold!

Here's a tissue for you 🙂

(Oh, I'm not saying you have an issue, but I found this pic and thought it was cute to share)

Hugs @Shaz51

@AuntGlow thankyou but I really don't feel strong, especially at the moment. I don't feel myself at all 😞. The thoughts are so persistent and strong, it's scary and exhausting. (I'm safe)

I have had it on ice cream when I was a kid but I don't really eat ice cream anymore.

But i had to put on a show with the counsellor cos I had someone here and it wasn't safe to be open. I'm just waiting for her to make contact, reaching out feels too much right now.

That sounds like a lovely morning ☺️.

No i didn't, not game enough to try any zoom meetings.

A little positive at the moment was that my amazing friend really helped me last night and encouraged me to do some colouring. So I've started working on a picture ☺️
