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?

Hey @Snowie thanks. I've been having a bit of a rest today although it seems to be the day for disturbances 🤣. Counting down those hours until bedtime tonight, need a good rest to hopefully recharge a bit 🙂.

Great idea for a thread today @Snowie , thank you. 🙂
I think I'm in the "maybe" category today. 🤔 i think I'm "currently OK" because I have so far kept myself busy (and thus distracted). But now I am getting physically sore and tired, which means I need to stop "doing" and I am honestly a little concerned my thinking is quite possible to head downhill as soon as I am not mentally distracted.
I might try to play games on my phone whilst listening to a podcast, because I can do that sitting or laying down to rest physically. That and distract myself on this forum haha!
Nice to hear that most people are doing OK today (even if that may not be "fantastic"), but also acknowledging and empathising with those who are not doing so well today. Big hugs to everyone who would benefit from a virtual hug and the compassion that comes with it.
And of course a coffee for @Shaz51 as well as the hug lol.

Hope hubby feels less anxious after the physical action of mowing the lawn @Shaz51 . Hope the appointment for him goes well tomorrow.
Does he normally get anxious about appointments? Or is this one particularly anxiety-inducing?

@RebelliousAngel A day of rest sounds nice. We all deserve that.
I hope you can get a good rest tonight.
Keep ourselves distracted @AlwaysMyself can be so tiring both physically and mentally. I too worry about my thoughts when I am not distracted.
I hope playing games can help. At least you can give your body a rest.
I am curled up on the couch this afternoon with no intention of moving!!
@Shaz51 I cuppa sounds nice. Having one at the moment too
