@Chasingsunsets Back is slowly improving. If I could sleep longer that would help. Let me know how acupuncture goes. Thinking of walking down street to get phone number of sign on Chinese acupuncture place as can’t find it online.

Ah that’s no good @tyme, thinking of you 🙏

I definitely know that feeling, whilst I have had a few better days recently I am humble to know it can change at anytime.
I’d say mine is a dominos game atm, I am busy chasing the dominos as they fall to put in place “safety gaps” as per Google (all so fitting atm for my analogy lol) to stop all the dominos falling.
Been one thing after the other 🤪 and too fast to manage to put safety gaps in but I’m trying, chasing the domino effect 🙏

I hope you manage to have a good sleep thinking of ya! Challenging and maybe unsettling but you got this 😊

Oh I will @GezzaP, not sure it will fix a lot but hey if it helps some what why not right?

let me know if you end up going to the one near you. Hope you had a restful night 😊

Slept deeply but only for 5 1/2 hours. Feeling tired. @Chasingsunsets Back is pretty good this morning and I haven’t even done exercises yet. Hoping to snooze a bit this morning, but got lots of chores to do this morning. Got a Spring clean being done this afternoon.

hi @MissGremlin my friend, i hope you had a good day today.

i had an intake assessment (for ADHD) done via telehealth today and i have to go to the clinic tomorrow for a cognitive assessment and im kinda nervous but i hope it goes well regardless x

also, there's been things in my life as well as the people that have been in my life that i wish i could change about but its sad that this is how my life is, and that there's nothing i can do to change about it (and the way it has become a part of my life) 🥲

Hello @Blackcloud my sweet, today's been a bit rough for me after getting my results from a blood test. I've been working on my puzzle too keep my mind busy.

I hope the assessment tomorrow goes ok sweet, I'll be thinking of you ❤️.

I hear you, there's certain things in my life that I wish I could change aswell but unfortunately it's not possible. Sending you hugs sweet, always here for you ❤️

I don't want to interrupt any conversations. I've been told this is how it works (by pressing reply). I just need to share my day

I just come back from seeing my son and he's not in a great way. He has schizoaffective, PTSD and depression and he's having a psychotic episode at the moment. This episode has been going on for about five months now and I'm tired. Hopefully new medication today will work.

I can't imagine how this is affecting him! Not sleeping, depression and hearing voices would be difficult to handle day after day.

Me, on the other hand, are doing okay. I came back home early to sleep in my own bed. A little bit of looking after myself today! 💚

@MissGremlin ohhh I can hear how tough that must be feeling when getting the results back from the blood test, I’m thinking of you ❤️ 🫂 and that’s good, I’m currently watching some pet videos to keep me busy even when I’ve just been laying & sitting in bed almost all day 🐶🐱😒

I just want it all to go well even when I’m struggling to say something when I’m verbally speaking to someone on the spot but it’s always been hard for me to not struggle.
anyways, I’m glad that now I’m part of a community where I now feel belonged & can connect with other neurokins there at any shape or form. Even with the struggles I have, I still have thoughts of su!c!de from time to time, but I don’t and will never act on those thoughts, ever.

Thank you ❤️ I thought I could tag you this evening just cause I need someone to talk to in this moment. 🫂

@Blackcloud thankyou sweet ❤️. Awww pet videos are always great to cheer us up, animals are adorable and always doing funny and cute things 😊. Also nothing wrong with sitting or laying in bed, sometimes we just need to rest and let our minds and bodies have time to recharge.

I'm sure you will be just fine tomorrow sweet, you've got this ❤️. I'm glad you have a community where you feel like you belong and can connect with other neurokins, it really does make all the difference when others understand just what it's like. I hear you on the thoughts, I deal with them on a daily basis but just because they are there it doesn't mean we have to or are going to act on them.

You can always tag me sweet and I'm more than happy to chat and sit with you ❤️.

@MissGremlin There’s this one particular video of the 2 cats that’s owned by a YouTube channel I’ve been a subscriber with for a while. that video was released last week and every day I keep going back to it because something about the bonding of those two cats (father cat & daughter cat) & the owners continuous love and admiration for them just makes it even special 😍

oh yeah totally nothing wrong with it, but if it’s like during the day where I haven’t been moving my body for a bit at anytime during the day (like going out for a walk or to the shops) then it does make it feel a bit more..I guess depressing..

Totally! And I have a peer worker from there that I currently talk to and right now she’s like my only peer worker that I think I can rely on. Being part of the community where I can connect with other neurokins including her, as well as sharing our struggles and experiences related to being neurodivergent just makes it feel SOOOO special for me & other autistics & I’m thankful that there’s such community that exists. ❤️

I hope after my appointment tomorrow that I’ll be able to reward something for myself as a way to congratulate myself for getting through it & finishing it. 😊

Hello @heartathome, I'm sorry i didn't see this post earlier. You are never interrupting here and I'm glad you came here to share your day 😊.

I'm sorry to hear about your son, it must really be taking a toll on him and I can imagine the exhaustion you would be feeling aswell. I'm hoping the new medication will start to work for him so you can both get a much needed break ❤️.

I'm glad to hear that you are doing ok, it's great that you are taking steps to look after yourself. Sending you hugs ❤️
