Tillogram

Hi @Till23!!

That's okay, the beauty of this space is that you can come and go as you please. 🤗

The sun is a great glimmer. Still waiting for some proper warmth where I am. 😭

I hope your sport is going well!

Chat soon. 💛

Hi @AuntGlow thanks for your response.

It's sunny here in the days at the moment but that means it's really cold in mornings and evenings. It was cold when I got up at 5.30am to go volunteering today!

Yeah, I'm kind of staying off the forums because I am really struggling, when I talk about myself it seems as though it's wrong somehow.

I have some physical health problems that are really affecting me as well, including affecting my MH.

I'm feeling stressed about everything including my sport.

I said I'd do something for the Newsletter, but I think I'm going to let @Ru-bee and @rav3n down

I feel like I have let @tyme down.

This is why I stay off because I feel really guilty about letting people down

Hey @Till23 You couldn't let us down! We're always excited to have you on board for the newsletter, but we completely get it when things come up or you're just not in the space to contribute, its completely understandable as it sounds like you've got a lot going on! That happens to me too and I think that to be able to recognise that is a strength. It's completely okay if you sit this one out, we'll check in with you for the next one!

afternoon @Till23 😍

how are you going today my friend

Gah, getting up in the cold is no good. I find it so, so hard! @Till23

How was volunteering?

As @Ru-bee said, you never let any of us down. We only want to know how you are how we can help!

It sounds like there's an awful lot going on for you... I am sure that having concurrent health and mental health concerns coming up is really overwhelming.

Have you had anyone to connect with in-person for support as of late? 💛

Hi @Shaz51 I hope you are well and enjoying your gardening now it's spring.

I'm putting one foot in front of the other as I do

Hi @AuntGlow it's not as hard getting up early in the mornings now it is getting into spring so at least it's not as cold! I am pretty busy, which is kind of by design, but at the moment everything seems to be happening at once, which is quite difficult. Also my health problems have decided to get worse just now 🤣. I am having a fair degree of overwhelm, which I am attempting to manage.

I have my GP, this is pretty common for many people especially as the year winds on and MHCPs are used up. Many people are in the situation of not being able to afford over $200 per session for a psychologist. The further you get from capital cities, the cost usually goes up because there are less psychologists, so because of supply and demand the cost usually goes up. $250 is pretty standard where I live. So that's the mental health situation in Australia. I'm no different from anybody else in that respect. I just have to fing a way to put one foot in front of the other.

I am hoping tomorrow is not too bad weather wise. I am hoping I can have a bit of time in nature as I am really struggling with multiple issues. So I have decided to just go to training and then just have the rest of the day for myself. I am feeling a lot of overwhelm lately I have had multiple pressures on me to do things for various orgnisations. I've been finding it very stressful. Anyhow, I will try to manage by going into nature. I am going to look into this smiling mind app, because my mind is not smiling lately! I think I have seen you talk about smiling mind before @tyme

Hoping it's nice weather for you @Till23! Getting out in nature can be so healing can't it? I hope getting some time outdoors helps your mind smile tomorrow 💖

Hi @Ru-bee can you please remind me when do you need the submissions for the newsletter.

I hope I can go to a particular place because this weekend is father's day and my father only passed away last year, so it's a bit of a hard time from that perspective as well. It's a place Dad would have liked
