Easter Monday Hangout Space - All welcome!

Easter Monday Hangout Space - All welcome!

Hello forum friends!

As this long weekend draws to a close lets gather round and share some choccies we may have gotten, maybe have warm drink as the weather starts to cool a little bit in some parts of the country and have chat.

I'll be having a Ferrero Rocher and a cup of tea and I'm wondering:

What has been one bright spot (big or small) in your day so far?

What is the week ahead looking like for you?

I'll go first: One bright spot for me so far is my snuggly little cat Momo showering me with love and purrs.

My week ahead is looking like it will be little busy, I've had a last minute ask if I can cat-sit for my brother so I'll be dividing my time between my place and his, but it's always nice to get a bit of a change of scenery

Re: Easter Monday Hangout Space - All welcome!

Thank you very much for the hugs 🫂 @MissGremlin

You and I, we’ll keep persevering. Because what else are we going to do?

Something’s got to change.

Re: Easter Monday Hangout Space - All welcome!

@Glisten anytime.

You keep persevering and I'm going to go and hide under a rock and wait for the world to swallow me.

Re: Easter Monday Hangout Space - All welcome!

I have to admit @MissGremlin Your idea makes way more sense.

I wish there were AI psychologists. So we didn’t have to deal with people who don’t know what they’re talking about.

@Glisten you can share my rock with me but I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that you aren't under that rock for too long. Cos you're a beautiful person that deserves to be out in the world thriving and spreading your amazingness everywhere you go ❤️.

Yes if only that was a thing. Some people just have no idea what they're talking about and only make things worse.

@MissGremlin You said the most perfectly lovely words. It gave me little happiness tears.

AI psychologists definitely should be a thing. A good psychologist is as rear as hen’s teeth. Psychiatrists shouldn’t be allowed to consult without a neurobiologist advising.

In two hundred years people will look at the mental health system and think it was barbaric. I hope 🤞🏼

@Glisten awww happy tears are good ❤️.

Yes I've had a few psychologists and one was somewhat ok but still had flaws in how they approached things and their methods. Another was just completely useless and sided with the person that was abusing me.

Hmmm interesting thought about how our mental health system now could be viewed in the future. It definitely needs a massive overhaul.

@MissGremlin I’ve been there. The psychologist counsellor who listens to the abuser, sides with them and barely asks you a question.

You’ve been handed back to the predator and no rescue insight.

Re: Easter Monday Hangout Space - All welcome!

@Glisten it's a horrible position to be in. I was told that 'I was a lost cause, that I deserve everything I get and that it's all my fault'. That's stuck with me and has ruined the chances of me ever talking to a psychologist again.

I'm so sorry you had that experience, it's not fair and should never happen.

Re: Easter Monday Hangout Space - All welcome!

@MissGremlin your experience is a perfect example of how powerful words are.

What happened to you makes me want to throw rocks at them.
