Up for a chat?

im well thankyou @Shaz51 i would of told the boys not only is pink perfectly acceptable these days its also the new black!😂

@REDLINEZ750 sounds like finding sane has been really beneficial for you. I'm glad you are here and I have found that the community here is supportive, understanding and willing to help however they can.

Nothing wrong with running away with posts, it's great to be able to get things out and chat about whatever is needed 🙂

ha ha very true @REDLINEZ750

depending on how long they stay , they might have to have the pink ones

Hi @REDLINEZ750 @Shaz51 @RebelliousAngel

Had a busy-ish day today after I finally persuaded myself to get up out of bed lol. So only just come online this evening.

@REDLINEZ750 thank you for sharing. I like that you are also able to talk about what's going on for you, your past and current challenges, etc. 😊 you dont bring me down at all. I also find just telling someone what's going on a helpful thing too, even when I know there isnt anything they can do. It feels good to be heard.

I do hope you can find a service that can give you the safe 1:1 indepth personalised support you want/need. Long-term help is a big gap in our systems funding. The 6-session EAP model and 6-10 session Medicare model for psychologists still make it hard to afford for those needing longterm routine support. Sometimes psychiatry is almost cheaper lol because there is no session limit and once you hit the Medicare safety net you dont pay much out of pocket. Assuming the system is still how it was 10 years ago, that is. It would be interesting actually to do the maths and see based on average hourly prices at what frequency of appointments that a psychiatrist would become cheaper than a psychologist due to the limited session rebate on the latter. 🤔

I think my parents has a set of hot pink sheets in the cupboard for the guest bed when I was growing up @Shaz51 😅. But i think they were a backup set, not the usual floral set that would be the go-to for guests lol.

I buy dark blue and purple sheets if possible. But most importantly the cheapest option of the fabrics I like lol. So if white is cheaper, then I'll pick white lol.

Is it nice to have them visiting?

I agree your user name is good @RebelliousAngel 😇. Sometimes I wonder if/what story people have behind their user names.

What's the most rebellious thing you have done? 😛 that youre willing to share, that is. 😉

hahahaaa this should be good 🤣 @AlwaysMyself hahaha

id have to compartmentalise that if asked by asking against who 😁

thankyou for understanding alwaysmyself i was concerned about possible impact it could have on your own well being and truthfully thats me toning it down.

i just filled out a contact us online form with salvation army so reckon i be hearing from them next week and i told them what i expect so they dont have to feel bad if im right 😊

gope it was a pleasant busy ish day for you!

Hey @AlwaysMyself i often ponder that thought myself, the story behind usernames 😀. The most rebellious thing I've done, I'm going to have to think on this 🤣

Good morning, everyone! @Shaz51 @AlwaysMyself @Till23 I hope you got some rest last night @RebelliousAngel @REDLINEZ750. It's another nice, sunny day on the North Coast. Anyone got anything on today? I think it's a quiet home day for me. 🙃

I think it's a quiet home day for me.---- that sounds good to me @heartathome

some reason i was wide awake at 3am , got up and had a cup of tea and went back to bed and slept for another 2 hours

cloudy here today but no rain yet

Glad you got some extra sleep @Shaz51 even if only a few extra hours. 3am sounds waayyy too early for me.

@RebelliousAngel 🤭🤭 too many good stories but also needing to be careful of identity i suspect.

When I chose my user name I thought "what cant be used as anything about myself or other account user names i have?" And I figured that fact that I strongly believe in being who I am genuinely is something I like to encourage others with also, so voila being "always myself".

@heartathome @REDLINEZ750 @Till23 also 👋.

Hoping for productive but peaceful day home for me. 😊

Starting with an Iced coffee milk for breakfast, of course @Shaz51 🤭. Its calcium and caffeine for the day ahead right??

Ill try to pop on and off during the day to the forum. But if im not online that is also a positive thing -- it means I am being productive with house chores!

Did you buy a dark or light fruitcake @Shaz51 and what time is morning tea? 😄 I'm trying to work myself up to go up town to the chemist. Our town swells when the school holidays are on and I have bad anxiety, so everything is scary. I'll go and it'll be fine! It's just the thought of it! I hope you enjoy your home day! 🙃
