Not a good day today @AuntGlow

I’ll be ok, might take some time though

I like your neighbour's perspective @Flutterbug9 😊. And yeah - they are a service provider, so absolutely. Would you keep buying coffee from a barista that kept burning it? (unless for some reason you loved burnt coffee of course... or I guess maybe some people would if they fancied the person and wanted an excuse to see them - but then they should switch to buying a hot chocolate or a muffin instead!)

*hugs @Flutterbug9 for your not-a-good-day*

Love your humour @AlwaysMyself

Needed the laugh.

no flashbacks or nightmares last night.

random bouts of tears today.

feeling depressed and very tired

@AuntGlow @tyme

Sorry to hear that today wasnt a good day. I hope things improve for you. Please know we are hear for you.

Laughs are always good 🙂

As they say, "Laughter is the best medicine!"

Hang in there my friend.

@Flutterbug9

Would you like to chat for abit @Flutterbug9 ? I can stay online if so. No work for me tomorrow, so I can do a late-ish night. (yes anything past 10pm is late for me haha! Used to be past 9pm was late for me.. then I found this forum haha)

Thanks for offer @AlwaysMyself. Not tonight.

heading to bed as soon as DVD finishes which won’t be long

Sleep well @Flutterbug9 . May your eyelids flutter off to the sandman.

(Enjoy the rest of your DVD 🙂 )

I am glad you had a flashback and nightmare free evening @Flutterbug9! That's huge.

Tears are more than allowed, it sounds like you are holding a lot right now... do you have time for a balance of rest and gentle activity?

Also, how is therapy going? 💛

Hi @AuntGlow

using part of something a neighbour has recently said, my psychologist failed to deliver and has been sacked.

Final appointment with therapist I’ve been seeing was end of last week during which her words / tone triggered me (again).. that night the flashback started. Full blown flashbacks of event from teen years.

Couple weeks time I have initial appointment with new psychologist, lady I requested to be transferred to

song The Weight I hide by Grim ‘n Soul hits close to home for me

doing chores then have a break for awhile (instructions from pain management dr).

hospital all next week as of Monday. Trying to think positive thoughts about my cats at cattery, it’s a struggle though

Very good advice from the pain management doctor @Flutterbug9 - I too have to pace myself for both pain and fatigue reasons. Best not to overdo it.

Oh, I just realised we can be hospital buddies on Tuesday! I'm only in for a day-procedure, but it will be my first time being an admitted patient.

I hope your hospital stay goes well, I hope the cats settle into the cattery well (maybe they will get extra treats and not want to come home?? Joking -- of course they will want to come back home with you after 🙂 You are their slave because they are cats and you are human! lol.). I wonder if the cattery staff can send you a photo each day of your cats to show you that they are OK and getting some pats each day from the staff? (not sure if that would help? I know it helps me if I am worried about my dogs' happiness when I'm leaving them somewhere).
