Hello everyone. I'm doing okay! I have bible study on this morning and I'm thinking of going to see my son this afternoon and staying the night. I'll see how I feel later. I was on last night but didn't want to interrupt the conversation. I'm not sure if I can jump in. Maybe I need to make a new discussion, like I am now. Blessings to you all!

I'm doing okay! I was looking forward to going somewhere special on Monday, but it's been called off. Tomorrows work isn't on as well. I'm really disappointed. I find being with myself uncomfortable! I just don't know what to do! I can't sit for very long doing nothing. At times, I wish I had a pet! Something to sit beside me, that I can talk to.😺 That's what YOU are doing... sitting beside me! Thanks for being there! If I've left anyone out, it was unintentional! I'm actually pretty proud of myself for remembering a few names! 🙃

@heartathome sorry to hear that your plans for Monday have been called off and also tomorrow's work not being on. It's so hard when you have things planned and are looking forward to cancelled, it throws everything out of whack. I'm hoping you can find some nice things to do for yourself, maybe going for a walk and being around people, having coffee at a Cafe somewhere maybe? We will always be here for you, it's nice to know that we are never alone in this space 🙂. Well done for remembering names 🙂

Hi @RebelliousAngel I resonated when you talked about it 'throwing everything out of whack'. That's exactly how I feel! These cancellations are obviously a trigger of something else. I think my mental health hub closing is effecting me more than I thought! I think I'm feeling abandoned by them. All normal feelings for the circumstances, just not happy ones, atm. I don't want to complain because I've had three and a half years of great support! I feel like I'm out on my own again! I know I'm not but I feel like I'm leaving home for the very first time... again. Don't worry! I'll be gentle with myself. Tears haven't hurt anyone. 🙃

@stupidorangeboxnotlettingmesupport!
im on all hours and happy to not sit still for long with you heartathome if it helps, highly likely helping me mutually so dont listen to thoughts of otherwise 😊
id be a shocking pet though too disobedient as a human apparently hehehe
only as a sugestion may be good opportunity to get on some self compassion maybe, easy to say from here i know just it works and is powerful when harnessed
i feel exactly what you feel losing a sound support as you know and for the record tears are allpwed im going do last visit telehealth never good idea to ride emotional

@heartathome I understand that feeling of things being thrown out of whack when even the slightest change in my normal routine occurs. I don't think it's complaining, it's recognising and acknowledging that you can see the impacts of how things are affecting you, if anything that's growth 🙂. I'm glad you'll be gentle with yourself, you deserve self compassion when you're feeling a little delicate. Sending some hugs your way 🩵

@REDLINEZ750 the frustration of the little orange box not working, it was like that for me yesterday, I may or may not have tried to press it several times in succession in frustration just hoping it would work 🤣.
Hehe a shocking pet, think I'd be returned in a heartbeat, I drive everyone mad 🤣.

I like your humour! @REDLINEZ750 @stupidorangeboxnotlettingmesupport! 🤣🤣 I haven't laughed out loud like that for ages! I've been having the same problem! I've put my pyjamas on, having a coffee and listening to my music playlist. I'm telling myself, one day at a time and calming down! Thanks for being here! I hope your telehealth appointment goes okay. 🙃
