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?

Good greetings!🌺

Howdy!🤠

Im better this day thankfully because yesterday people were nicer out n about and i managed to do grocery shopping even though it can be difficult for me.

Also sun is shining and i just had morning coffee with a small date biscuit from saudi arabia or dubai from coles and a small greek biscuit from coles.

They have s international section with food from different countries.

Hopefully i will manage to cook a new vegan recipe this day .

Broccoli pasta.

Cooking new recipes can be challenging for me .this one has basil ,broccoli , tofu and pasta in it.

hey @Rovja i've just added a spoiler tag to your recent post, and totally okay about the spelling errors - we all make them!

sorry to hear that today hasn't gone too well for you, hoping the rest of your day gets brighter. broccoli pasta sounds interesting, i've never had tofu in pasta. let us know how it goes!

@Former-Member i love that you truly do have a meme for absolutely everything!! 😆 do you have a meme for the sane newsletter??

@Rovja welcome! I dont think ive met you before. 😊 im glad you were able to do your groceries - thats great. Im sorry you felt people were disrespectful to you whilst you were doing that though ☹️; that would make it feel very difficult to go out and do things i imagine.

I ended up making vegan laksa instead.

With 1/2 packet tofu, 2 tablespoons of red thai curry , 2 cans of coconut milk, 1 litre broth, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 chopped onion, approximatrly half a packet of noodles.

Fry diced (chopped) onion in some olive oil .

Add diced tofu.

Fry a few minutes .

add rest if ingredients and simmer gently for 20 minutes or so until cooked.stir occasionaly.

Good stuff!

I made mince meat with gravy and cream sauce and mashed potatoes for my partner.

I dont eat meat but my dog and partner do.

I want to be as cruelty free as possible.

Vegan again hopefully.

Entirelly or mostly vegan.

I feel almost constantly critisised .

Who i am and good i do and am n so doesnt seem known or understood.

Not having friends as such sucks.

Thankful for good food and drink and place to live and partner and dog and other good things.

Professional Support network and so .

I want to give support best i can and get support.

Hope you guys are well.

Gday 🌸n howdy 🤠 @AlwaysMyself 🙂.

Re: R U OK? DAY

That sounds very nice @Rovja , did the Laksa taste good to you also?

(I dont eat chilli, so no laksa for me; but my partner loves it and says it warms them up)

That is very kind of you to also cook a separate meal for you partner! Especially cooking meat when you don't eat it yourself.

I'm sorry you feel constantly criticised. ☹️

Is this by your partner? Or work? Or friends? Family?

Do you think (rather than feelings) that they do mostly criticise, or that there is a mixture of both criticism and complements/thanks but your brain remembers the criticisms and emotionally remember the criticisms more?

(I know for me and many others it is soo much more memorable and emotionally impactful when being criticised that it can feel like "nothing's good enough" and always negative, even when there is in objective reality a 50/50 of negative-positive sentiments. Im just wondering whether or not this is the situation. I do also know that some people are almost always critical and negative and rarely say anything grateful or nice! So I know both things are real!)
