Luna starts to hassle when she's hungry. @MissGremlin she sooks and won't leave me alone. This is what I'm currently dealing with...

Good morning @MissGremlin ,

And @NightFury @Cuddlebear @Flutterbug9

I drove to sydney yesterday to visit family for a week. Was a safe drive.

Have coffee this morning with a friend who is also visiting her family in sydney. We both did school in sydney, which is how we met. But now we live a number of hours away from each other. So lucky we are both in same place to catch up. Not see her for nearly 2 years.

Morning @AlwaysMyself

Sounds like everything aligned for you guys to be able to catch up after so long. I really hope you enjoy the re-connection.

@NightFury i am still waiting for the picture to show up. Just didn't want you to think that I'm ignoring you.

Hello @AlwaysMyself, glad it was a safe drive and I hope you enjoy spending time with family and catching up with your friend.

It's okay @MissGremlin I've just gotten out of the shower. I might take Luna for a walk around the block to try and shake my low mood.

@NightFury i need to have a shower but I'm struggling so much to get myself to have one. Something I've never struggled with before and it's rather embarrassing. I hope taking Luna for a walk helps.

Showers for me are soothing @MissGremlin and I have a thing...call it a fear maybe? I don't really know what it is, but I don't like even the thought of smelling bad. I shower every morning, and often of a night. I shower when my skin itches and causes sensory overload. I shower when I'm dysregulated.

But that's just me. I can understand how it could be difficult to find the motivation to shower when you're fighting your own mental health. I haven't experienced it, but I understand.

@NightFury i don't shower that often but only cos I can't afford the water usage. But I do shower regularly and am very self conscious worrying about if I smell so I understand that. It has only been a few days since I've showered and I know I'll be ok once I can get in there, I just feel so exhausted. I'm laying here almost falling asleep, last night was full of nightmares and panic attacks.

Awww the pic finally shows up, she's so gorgeous. Casper just stands on top of me and wags his tail a million miles an hour with his floppy ears hanging down while he's staring at me.

This was him just before, just sitting and staring at me.

The picture hasn't loaded yet @MissGremlin

Maybe...have a little chat to yourself - shower, then you can nap?

It sounds like last night was tough. I'm sorry. Maybe a shower will help ypu wash off last night and help you to relax your body a little so you can get some sleep today?

It's your call, but I'm here for support.
