Hi @Shaz51 It's been a difficult few weeks but I'm going to see a friend today. I'm picking up my meals for the week and to the chemist to keep me stable. 😉 💛

Yes @Shaz51 He went to his daughter's yesterday. We're already missing each other! 💚 I guess that's pretty normal after spending three weeks together. I know we couldn't live together, especially in my small unit! 😆 I think his grief will start when he gets home and is alone. I didn't know his brother in anything more than a superficial relationship so I'm fine. I will miss him, but my heart goes out to my partner and his family! The farewell was beautiful at a local beach! 😊

It has been a very interesting morning. Even though sleep has been poor, at just 4:20 hours, my mind has been relatively calm. Which has been good to see. No evil voice, a few good ones i suppose, but few and far between. No earth shaking experiences either.
i trying to ignore the clutter all around and only focus on survival points i have internalised. Not trying to hold onto, as we might see in dramatic film clips, and my past has often been like fighting of psychosis blind, but stay in my peacefully observing myself going through this reality. ( i call it my watch tower)
Only when i have my enemy (evil voices) are in ear shot do i instruct the gates of my mind closed, but otherwise i go on about my normal life as much as possible. This has taken me nearly 25 years to learn to do, starting with seven years in my pit bereft of everything i treasured in life, and i still fail at times. However i'm getting up quicker and quicker. Which has been really encouraging to see.
i hope all of you have a ripper day.
