I know its getting late on the east coast, but seeing if anyone is up for a chat?
Didn't really want to gate-crash people's existing chat threads.
Nothing specific. Just feeling lonely after feeling a few blows today. Just one of those days to roll with the punches until you can progress the issue at hand.
Its ok if no one is up for a chat. Thats the nature of a forum. But I wont know if I dont ask.

I'm glad my comment helped you to have a positive thought @heartathome
I love watching the whale migration
I tend to get a bit sea sick at times
It's great that you are part of MH reform and that you like it. Does it feel a bit supportive that you are with other Lived Experience people?
I understand the frustration of things moving slowly.
The other forum sounds good too.
The hub sounds like it was an important part of your life.
I am glad you have found SANE
I think connection is important for everyone

You seem to know a bit about mental health @Till23 It's helps a lot knowing there are people with a lived experience in there. My brain tells me I'm not articulate enough or know enough to give any input, but I fight those thoughts and go anyway, when a meeting is on, even if I'm shaking! How long have you been on these forums for? I've only noticed you over the last couple of weeks. Not that that means much! 😄 My brain isn't taking much on atm. 🙃

I think any lived experience is valuable @heartathome so despite the shaking, I'm glad you contribute. It will be worthwhile input.
I have quite a few decades of Lived Experience @heartathome, plus yes, I have some training as well.
I've been on the forums about 8-9 months. I'm sometimes away so not on at all and other times I'm not on that much. I only go to some threads if I am tagged. Sometimes I am pretty busy.

Thanks @Till23 I'll keep turning up to the forums! You sounded like you'd had some training in your previous posts. I could tell by the words you used. You knew what you were talking about. I hope I come across you again soon. 🙃

@AlwaysMyself how did your day end up? Hope it was ok and you are feeling alright.
My apologies I thought you had two boys but you a girl and boy! Sorry about that!
It’s so interesting to hear about how the colours range so much but I love that like kinder surprise pups you just don’t know what colours they could be!
Your boy is getting natural highlights from the sun and turning lighter lol
They are both beautiful!!

I dont think my dogs know their own sex or gender anyway 🤭😋 @Chasingsunsets . Usually people assume theyre both female because my male looks "pretty" lol . He gets "she" all the time haha. And he is too fluffy underneath for people to be able to glance and check 🤣
Just got home. 🙂 now wait for cleaner to arrive soonish. And i'm doing another load of washing, so I can be productive while I rest for an hour (the cycle time).
Hope others have had an ok day?
