What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

Thanks @Cuddlebear. Yes, I try to do things like social exercise, that is in a team, because both exercise and social connections are good for mental health.. Up until very recently I have always been a very reliable person, so I feel a bit guilty about not going. It looked liked they had enough people for the walk. I also feel like it could be a lost opportunity for me to meet some people, but have just signed up for another activity. There's another one I wouldn't mind going to, but will wait until I see physio for my knee.

Yes, I think many people are surprised by the physical side effects of AD withdrawal, especially gut related ones, but there's plenty of others as you are probably finding out.

It's disappointing to hear that CATT is not following you up.

Is there any other community MH service? Is your GP aware?

I have no family near me and I don't have any close friends here either, so I can understand, at least to some degree. I am fortunate though, that I don't have any real physical limitations to get out and about.

That is why I am trying to join these activities. I haven't made any really close friends at my sport and they all have families etc, so it's difficult.

I do hope your friend comes by on Friday and that in the mean time you can have some chats on the forums.

I am sorry I have to log off now to do my sport stuff, but will log on later this evening

Hey @Cuddlebear! Ooohhh maann the IT issues have been something haven’t they! Really been feeling it re barriers of communication 😜 but they are trying their best to fix it and today not as bad as some of other days like you said, so that’s something right 😀

my highlight is meeting a gorgeous musician busking at the supermarket. He is married, so nobody should think in that direction, but there was something special about meeting him.

I'm just trying to work out what day it is first! I'm in Vic so we had Melb Cup public holiday yesterday. Then the kids were home on Monday from school so when this happens, my routine is thrown outta whack!

So um... for this week (the remainder of it), I'm just trying to work it out! I'll tell you once I get time to think about it!

I usually do my next day's planning in the evening just before going to bed. lol.

What about you @Chasingsunsets ?
