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?

@RebelliousAngel migraines are awful, I hope you are able to take it easy today 💖.
I shouldn't have pushed it, and it's not what my personal trainer would have wanted. My relationship with exercise is a disordered right now. At least I am aware now and can work on it during therapy

I'm alright today for R U OK Day although I think my dad's negative and ruminating attitude is getting to me, and I'm feeling a bit lonely or something without my usual outlets.

I'm sorry you pushed it, but it's great that you are aware of it and can work on it during therapy.

Someone actually asked me today. @Snowie Amazing. Noted that I only said alright. Is struggling himself with being over positive. People are so complicated. Thanks for thread.

I think even when I was in total people pleaser mode… I was still myself… just now I am more aware and more able to express more of myself.

Sorry for your loss.🙏
Can you adopt or foster or work with children or even adopt a dog.
Maybe that could help cope .
Hope you will be ok.
A simple to do list can help such as brush teeth .take rubbish out .etc if one has difficulty in every day tasks .
Maybe plan sonething yo look forward to even if its just a take away dinner or nice barista made coffee or a walk by sea.
