@NightFury rough, I've been struggling with thoughts and urges (I'm safe). I'm in bed now with the puppies and my colouring.

How are you feeling?

I'm sorry things are challenging right now. I'm glad you have your puppies tucked up in bed with you. @MissGremlin

I've just gotten home. I'm relieved that today is over with and that my appointment went well. I'm grateful that everything is okay and I had a gentle doctor. But, I am done with today. I feel run down, heavy and just exhausted.

@NightFury I'm with you on being glad that the day is over. I'm so thankful that everything is ok for you sweet and that the doctor was gentle, again I'm so proud of you for getting through today ❤️.

I hope you can get a good night's sleep tonight sweet and wake up feeling lighter tomorrow.

Have you got anything planned for tomorrow?

Can definitely be challenging to be gentle to ourselves hey @MissGremlin - for me the struggle gets extra hard when I'm also exhausted or irritated. Like sometimes I don't wanna be nice to me, I wanna throw stuff!

Good on you, surfing those urges - hope the colouring is soothing for ya!! 😊

I did my groceries online, so they're being delivered in the morning @MissGremlin it was too much to actually go in today.

And I have a lawn bowls from around lunch time till 4 ish. There are severe weather warnings out for tomorrow, so I'm not keen on being out in it.

But I also acknowledge that right now, I'm done...I'm exhausted and I don't want to do anything, so I don't want to play lawn bowls tomorrow, but that could change when I wake up in the morning.

What about you?

@Jynx i feel like I'm in a constant state of exhaustion at the moment. I'm just not sleeping much at all, 2-3 hours of very broken sleep every night isn't enough.

I haven't even done any colouring yet but I am listening to an audiobook at the moment.

I'm really glad the weather is going to be cooler tomorrow, hoping to go sock hunting and make a trip to officeworks.

@NightFury that's completely ok that you did your grocery shopping online.

Can understand why you wouldn't want to be out in it with severe weather warnings.

I think just taking things from how you feel when you wake up tomorrow is a good idea. There's no need to make a decision right now.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to go sock hunting and maybe to officeworks.

I love going to Officeworks @MissGremlin It's like my favourite place to shop.

I saw some awesome Spongebob and Patrick socks today in Kmart. They were bright and colourful and they made me smile!

Oh wow @MissGremlin yeah I'd be a mess if I was only getting a couple hours a night too!

Glad you've got someone reading you a story, in a way! Sometimes, I will have a copy of the book too and read along... I dunno if that's an ND thing or a Jynxy thing! lol

Yay socks!! Where do you go to find the coolest socks?

@NightFury officeworks is so much fun and a good way to lose a fair amount of time 😂.

Hehe oh I've seen the spongebob socks in kmart. I love bright and colourful socks ☺️
