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

@Cuddlebear I am so glad that Luna is alive and you got to give her zillions of kisses and bum scratches. Is she going to pull through ok?

I am so glad that you have such a great friend that stayed by your side. That is priceless.

@SaltwaterSoul I am so proud of you and happy for you. That took a lot of courage, and you did it anyway. Well Done!

What sort of artwork did you create?

I hope you are going to continue with the classes.

And next time I need to do something that requires courage, I am going to think back to your moment, and use it to inspire me to be brave.

I love the way that you broke it down into small steps. I definitely need to do this, as I oftern get overwhelmed when I look at the full picture.

One again congratulations.

@Mustang67 thank you for your love and prayers re mum and i i really appreciate. xxxx

@Bunniekins you are very welcome my luv xxx

Thank you for updating me @Mustang67 and so sorry for my delay. 💛

Have you found any ways to make the caravan feel homey and safe for you at all?

I am so sorry you are unable to connect with coin collecting... that would be really tough, especially when it makes you feel grounded. I am curious to know if there are any other hobbies or practices you may be able to explore during this time? Is there anywhere your intuition is pulling you towards?

Oh my goodness, that is so many people. I completely understand your distress - housing is incredibly overwhelming right now... I wonder if you could look on Flatmates or Facebook marketplace for people doing lease transfers?

That would be so, so hard to watch. I hope your daughter is okay - does she know she can call 1800 Respect for support if she starts to feel unsafe?

We are here for you - big hugs. 🫂

I love that you're self-educating and understanding your mind even more. @PeppyPatti 😍

It would be confronting at times, albeit very helpful.

How are you caring for yourself as you process these realisations?

Also, I am well, lovely!! Just very busy - studying, like you mentioned - performing too. All good things, but I am a sleepy gal haha 🥰

@Mustang67 I would definitely discuss it with your practitioner. I was on that journey at the beginning of last year and in May I had blood tests done which indicated diabetes 2 and low vitamin D, both of which I am being treated for. After 6 months I still wasn't feeling any better so my anti-psychotic dosage was upped. I am still not feeling great but my GP has retired so I have been trying to find a GP who will be as good as my previous one.

I am feeling better than I was last week xo

I hope things get sorted, it's always a nightmare when medications are ceased and regardless of what the government might want us to think, generic brands aren't always the same.

Fingers crossed we both get sorted 🤞

Hello wonderful human @Judi9877!

How are you today?

Amazing to hear that you enjoyed your orientation. 🤩

I love how organised you are - it's very impressive. You're doing so much and it seems to really suit you. 💅

Do you also have time for some self-care?

And, big yes to your trip to NZ next year, you absolutely deserve it. What are you looking forward to most about the cruise? 🫶

Hi @AuntGlow thank you for responding. After looking at the Hobby & Craft space, I have started to do some colouring in, so I have a reason to get out of bed. And this has lead me on to ordering a diamond dot or art to do. I am so excited for it's arrival, so I can start doing it. I have ordered a small one, so that it will fit on the table in the caravan. When I have done these in the past, it has always been to give away to other people as gifts. This one I will be keeping and finding some way to hang it up in the caravan.

Since burgendy/red is my favouriate colour and I love roses and butterflies, I thought this one was a good fit. espcially since I also have tattoos. But I love where it says "Dear Karma I have a list"

We have decided that we will try and save enough money for a bond, two weeks rent in advance and enough to cover the first quarter of utility bills as well as to purchase some basic furnitures, as all of my furniture and household belonging were ruined in the shipping container they were stored in.

Once we have the money behind us, then we will be hitting the rental market hard and applying for as many as we can, to try a secure a place. So I just have to try and get my mind in the right frame of mind. And ignore the fact that my feet hang over the end of the bed and I find it hard to get comfortable. We are giving this caravan back near the end of April and renting a caravan off a friend. His is more modern and hopefully will be more comfortable too. So it will help him out, as we will pay him rent, and it will help us out, not having to pay as much for rent. So that is the next step that I am looking forward to, besides doing my colouring in and the diamond art when it arrives.

@ENKELI I wish you all the best finding a new GP. I struggled when I first moved out south to find a good one, but the one I have at the moment is excellent. So even though I have moved 40 minutes away, I will be sticking with her.

No one in my family thinks that the generic brand is the same. The first generic brand they put me on when my medication was discontinued, made me so SAD that I just didn't know what to do with myself. I would sit there for hours just being sad. When I finally spoke to the pharmacists, he said to try a different brand. I didn't know there were different generic brands. I thought it was either the brand named medication or the generic medication. But no, there are several different brands of the generic medication for the same branded named medication.

I am so glad that you are feeling better this week. And yes, fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞 we both get sorted ❤️
