R U OK? DAY

R U OK? DAY

Today is R U OK? Day. This is the national day of action when Australians are encouraged to connect with people in their lives and have meaningful conversations with anyone who might be struggling with life's challenges.

Even though today is recognised as the main day, please remember that any day can be a R U OK? DAY.

So to all our members out there, R U OK?

@Snowie

I'm glad that's over

Appointment in a week

There's nothing they can do to stop me getting infections though

Going to go hide in a library

Re: R U OK? DAY

Well done for getting through your appointment @avant-garde

I'm sorry they can't do anything about your infections.

Oh I so love the library. I love getting immersed in a book. Sometimes just to escape reality is super nice!

Re: R U OK? DAY

@Snowie is it okay for the answer to be no?

Not okay today. I feel invisible.

But I'm at work, going through the motions, and trying to be present in my life and in taking care of myself.

Hi @NightFury

It is totally ok for your answer to be no. We would all much rather you telling us the truth.

Today I would probably say no too. But you know what, I feel better than yesterday, so I am taking that as a win.

I'm sorry you feel invisible. You are not invisible to us. We hear you and support you with whatever you are going through.

Re: R U OK? DAY

Hey all, today is a little bit of an off day for me mainly cos of a headache but that little spark inside seems to be a a bit duller than usual.

Re: R U OK? DAY

Good afternoon @Former-Member

I'm glad you are feeling better than this morning.

Hoping your appointment goes ok.

I have my pdoc this afternoon via tele health too.

Sometimes it is so much easier than driving to see them.

HI @RebelliousAngel It's ok to have off days. It's ok to feel that way.

I hope you can do something nice for yourself today.

Re: R U OK? DAY

Hi @Snowie !! Thank-you for the thread 🙏, nice to be on here. Not sure if we have spoken yet 😊

Thanks also to @rav3n for the tag so I could see this thread much appreciated 💜

I’d have to say I’m in the ‘maybe’ category, could be better but could also be a lot worse. I guess better health or just feeling better than the day before makes you humble I think. The small wins or even the minutes to hours you get relief is huge. I might not be where I want to be now but I’ll take that over being much worse and I’ll work on continuing to get better. Just one foot in front of the other and a bit of hope 🙏

Take care everyone and thinking of you all 💛
