My life sucks

@Shaz51 ooh fav word games? I am thinking I gotta find some games to help me improve my memory and stuff hehe

Hi @Cuddlebear @snowflake231 not sure we've met! Hope you're having a spiffy Monday.

@Jynx yeah I guess it’s better if I just don’t re-attempt it again and just submit the portfolio assessment as is 😅 losing a bit or some of the marks along the way won’t affect me that much, as long as I can still get at least a 50% from the assessment. It’s easy to give up and not do them especially when your mind keeps telling you this

@Cuddlebear i'm not sure if you saw the post that i responded to you and tagged you with last night, but I'll copy and paste it here again just in case:

@Cuddlebear I would say I’m quite decent at drawing but definitely not at the ‘artist’ level, hence why it’s hard for me to be able to do the drawings that look more complex

yeah I’ve eaten today 🙂

Hey. Sorry guys I am new to this forum and I did not realise this topic had so much traffic. I need to explore the discussions more.

im doing good today. I've already changed 2 Queen size beds and am doing the washing.

loneliness suxs but this forum helps. I'm manic at the moment so I feel like chatting a lot but there is no one to chat to. I'm grateful I can read the discussions here it helps me feel like I'm part of something.

anyways now that I know you all are posting here I will keep more updated.

@Blackcloud how are you today? Sounds like your drawings are pretty decent. 🙂 I’m not the best at it I’m very very very average lol. Very good you’ve done all you can and can submit. The goal is to pass subjects that’s the most important thing. I think you’ve actually done really well firstly meeting up with lecturer and then doing some update and now submission. That’s a lot and particularly hard when feeling yucky.

im glad you had something to eat yesterday 🙂

How are you today? I’m in Victoria and it’s sunny today. It’s been quite a warm May.

@Shaz51 How are you today? Yeah there’s a few things I like to do but this complex PTSD puts me in a type of freeze energy and I can’t do anything other than scrolling online. Simple things exhaust me and it can take a week to shower. I’m having a bad time of it lately too and just really dislike these intense physical symptoms.

I do like the YouTube videos usually in the evening. That’s at least something I can do.

Ah nature is wonderful. I like it too. I live near Port Philip Bay and my support worker takes me so I can try to relax a little.

Good to hear that hubby can take you for drives. It really helps to get out a bit doesn’t it? Is he understanding with how you feel?

@Blackcloud just gotta tackle it one step at a time eh hun?

@snowflake231 hi, sucks to be dealing with mania. How do you usually cope with it?

@Cuddlebear totally been a warm may hey! But now the second heater is finally getting pulled out... still haven't put the fan away yet tho lol

@MissGremlin @Shaz51 hi!! Happy Tuesday 😋

@Cuddlebear @Jynx my day's been good today, and I've been getting back to meal prepping (cooking) again as I barely even cook for myself anyways, so i guess its quite nice for me to get back to doing cooking again (kind of cause i only cook for myself sometimes). I've made a healthy version of the korean fried chicken followed by this health influencer (link attached blow) called AussieFitness (I used the same ingredients and followed the same steps as he did).

To be really honest, after making it and having a taste, I actually don't like it at all as it was pretty salty for me - I know it has to do with the 90mL of soy sauce that this influencer has used.. and I too followed on what he did...but oh well 😕

@Cuddlebear oh i live in victoria too!! yeah it's still quite warm here in may even though it should alerady be cold (like winter) by now.. is winter your favourite season? 🙂

Hubby is in charge of the finances so he controls my spending. He lets me do the grocery shopping ( I have to stick to a list ) to get spending money out of my system. He lets me do all the cleaning so that gets some of my energy out.
I spend time online in chats like on this forum as in my previous depressive episode I isolated myself from my friends. So now I feel chatty I have no one to chat to. I just hope that this mania stays manageable.
