Hi, I’m new.

Hey @Snow_Leopard ,

How have things been for you? Up to anything in particular?

@tyme

Things have been not great. How have you been doing? Just tidying my Pinterest boards, what have you been up to?

I've been looking after my sister's sick kids. I've also been taking the one who's not sick, out for walks and bike rides. The weather is warm and lovely - I can't complain.

I'm sorry to hear things have not been great for you. Have you managed to get out a bit? @Snow_Leopard

That’s sounds nice, well not the sick kids.
It’s ok, it’s not your fault.
Yeah, I have been

Eepp I somehow missed your posts in my emails @Snow_Leopard ! Just seen them now. Sorry!

I didnt realise flyong fox was genuine fliers rather than gliders. I've learnt something new! 😁 thank you 🥰

I did not know other bats were referred to as "megabats". I have seen a microbat at my old home once, it was soo small we thought it was a baby lost/abandoned and took it to a wildlife vet --- only to learn it was an adult microbat and that they indeed like to nestle on chairs under tables outside that are warm 😅.

I like bats. 🥰. I have a few memorable stories relating to bats which hold sentimental value for me.

I'm sorry you've had a rough day/week. Do you want to talk about it? (Also fine to not want to, but the door is open.)

It’s okay @AlwaysMyself.
All bats are the only mammal species to fly.

Everything is a lot to deal with at the moment.

@Snow_Leopard sorry to hear everything feels overwhelming at the moment.

I admit I've felt that way with very minor triggers lately. A small comment about something that "needs to be done" at home - even if its not really urgent (or especially if it isnt?) - can be enough to trigger the feeling of fatigue overwhelm that there is a constant need to do things piling higher and higher, and Im getting more and more tired.

I have a few ways to tackle this and keep it in check, but its just waiting for me to be having a down day to not be so resilient in my mind... 🫤

But I ticked a task off my list today during my lunch break 😎. Celebrating the small wins.

Any tips on what you find useful when feeling overwhelmed?
