✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Of course! We are always here for you. 🥹💛

Please tag me when you start it. @Cuddlebear

@Dimity Yes it was very satisfying to clean that room, but it knocked me for six. i ended up flat on my back in bed, without any energy, but still could not sleep, so used a nicotine patch instead to get me back on my feet.

Feeling okay now, and about to cook us some dinner. Nicely fried Pork fillets, gently spiced, with fresh green beans. We both love fresh beans.

@Kashmina what kind of volunteering do you do?

@Dimity sending you warmth and strength. My feelings are shifting a lot at the moment from doubt to more confidence and gone again. Maybe I need to remember and trust that I come through , so it will be alright.

@AuntGlow I am exhausted but did both choirs today, both on keyboard. My son cooked and we watched a good show together. Great end to the day.

@DownMoreThanUp good to get a job done on that room and doing it with your wife. I love Scarborough Fair too.

@PeppyPatti I think I went on that sky walk in Tassie with my son… maybe 20 years ago. Loved it.

hugs @Cuddlebear

Morning @Cuddlebear I had a busy afternoon and volunteered last night so I am tired this fine, but fine thank you.

That is such a long time to come off meds. You are doing it really tough. I am coming off some too but its not anywhere near what you are experiencing.

You will get there, you are doing it now. And I know its easier said than done but reach out on the forum anytime. There are always people around to have a chat.

Thinking about you and I hope your day goes well 💛

Hi @Appleblossom I volunteer in a theatre. Work in ticketbox, ushering and in the bar!

Sounds like a good vibe job @Kashmina is it community theatre, as the reason they can’t afford to pay you?

volunteering at the zoo could be fun when I did it for 5 years

done lots paid and unpaid work

it’s a balance keeping “engaged “.

🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🎶🎶🍎

No @Appleblossom it is another organisation

I too have done varying paid and volunteer work. Sometimes I dont feel like engaging or going to shift but I always enjoy it in the end 😊

@Kashmina Hello my friend. How are you?

I really love the volunteering work you do. 🙂 How often do you do it? Is it once a week?

Yes it’s a long coming off these meds. I didn’t realise you too were tapering. How are you feeling?

Im much the same at the moment which is unfortunate. 😞

Hi @Cuddlebear

I know we haven’t talked. I’ve been reading about your tapering journey on here

I had to recently taper from a medication. It was a hard one to get off and took me 4 months. Each reduction made me really depressed and borderline crisis.

For me I counted down the weeks until it was finished. I also had a couple of weeks in there that I didn’t taper for a fortnight to give myself a break.

Just wanted you to know that I understand how hard it can be.

@Captain24 Hello it is so wonderful to meet you. How are you doing?

Thank you so much for sharing how it’s been for you. So many people don’t understand the brutality of a taper. Like you every drop in medicine makes everything worse and I hate waking up each day knowing it’s another battle to make it through.

My GP says to just get it over and done with but my body can’t cope going fast. I’m just hanging in by a thread so to speak. He wanted me to drop further this week after having dropped more medicine last week. I said no. I told them I could not tolerate anymore and that I’m doing this alone and have to live with how I’m actually feeling. I want my body to adjust and have less intense symptoms before another drop but GP is in a hurry.

Thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me that you posted to let me know.
