Tillogram

Thanks @Shaz51

I hope you are not too bad. I'm sure it's hot there. It's been very hot here today

Yes hot and humid here @Till23

We were supposed to have a shower of rain , ha ha 5 drops we got

We looked after our 2 year old grandson yesterday to 10pm last night and then drove home

So needed a rest day todayxx

@tyme

I can definitely understand the rest day @Shaz51 even the heat alone would warrant a rest day

My legs and knees don't like sitting on the floor anymore @Till23

So got a few aches today

I did do the washing

Hey @Till23 ,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm going overseas next week, so I won't be around until late mid Jan 2026.

I'll be thinking of you.

Do you have a plan in place for the upcoming break time? I'm mindful it can be hard for a lot of people.

@Till23 just caught up on your updates from past 3 days. I'm sorry its also been a really tough and exhausting time for you too. *hugs*

I wish you could pick up a phone and call me when you want someone to talk to - recovery focused on not, just to vent or get things off ypur chest, etc. "Be real" in full. But since that isn't an option, know I'm here for you online and I do always look out for emails where you & CB tag me as a priority 🥰.

I wonder if, instead of taking 5min to write a reply to this, you could instead take those 5 min and do something restful for you? (Quiet meditation or a lay down, listen to music, or 5min longer in the shower, or 5min reading a book, or colouring in... whatever floats your boat). 🥰🤗

I'm spending the evening painting my figure. I'm over-peopled from the birthday celebration for family 🫨😴🥴🤯.

Take care, ask yourself "What does Till need inside?"

Hey @tyme I hope you have a great break and a fun and interesting overseas trip, wherever that may be. You will certainly be missed on the forums. Thanks for all your chats during this year. I can’t believe I’ve been here for just over a year now. You’ve helped me a lot in that time and I‘ve really appreciated it. So, thanks.

Hey @Till23 feel like I haven't caught up with you in a while. Saw you've been here over a year, that's awesome!

How's your world?

Hi @Jynx yes I tend to fly under the radar these days. I am not on the forums very often these days, and when I am it's pretty brief. I mainly only look at things I am tagged in and even then I don't really look at the group tags. I am finding a lack of interest in things (anhedonia) and a lack of concentration and although at times I feel I don't have time, I probably do, it's just that things seem to take a long time these days. I know these are all signs of increase in depressive symptoms.

I try to do face-to-face things so I have the social interactions, I also try to do them so that I don't lose the connections, not that they are strong connections, but some connection is better than nothing. I know that's not recovery focussed but it's the current situation.

I hope you are well and continuing to zip around and do things

@Till23 that's really rough hun. Would it be helpful for you if I tried to check in more? Or are you trying to protect what energy you have? Happy to do what I can 💜

Nah that's recovery-focused, to be trying to stay connected in the ways that matter to you sounds like you're doing what you can within a reduced capacity. Sometimes when we have too much we're carrying, certain things just end up having to be dropped. Doesn't mean we can't pick em back up again when we have more space 😌

Thank you hun, I am a zippy lil thing haha. Doesn't mean I can't slow down sometimes in order to match pace with others who prefer it 😋

Sometimes 🤣
