Sunday Coffee and Chat --7th December 2025

Finally the flu is gone @creative_writer , yaa

Sorry you are finding things hard, glad you are taking today easy

Sitting with you my friend 🧡

Good, lovely! Enjoyed some sun and saw a friend for brunch. What about you? @Shaz51 🫶

@Eclipsefairies oh wow, sounds like stress upon stress for you at the moment! Thank you for sharing, I know it's not always easy to be vulnerable in a new space.

I can really relate to how that perceived abandonment can send us reeling - it triggers my people-pleasing tendencies which can be really hard to manage, because on the surface it feels like the 'right thing' to do, hey. Learning to recognise and prioritise my own needs first, and strengthen my boundaries too, definitely took time and practice but it helps a lot.

That is awful about having your private medical information shared without consent. Absolutely understandable that it's left you with these feelings of shame and humiliation, even though it's your manager who should be ashamed of his actions.

I hope it helps to know you're not alone in your struggles. The forums community is here for you 💜

@creative_writer I'm off and on with tea, really depends actually! Love me a good chai, and bit of a fan of berry teas, like loganberry and such. Don't mind a nice chamomile either, I like to pretend I'm a witch brewing up a sleeping potion 😋

@DogMan79 sounds absolutely divine!! I love cloves when cooking meat, like honey and clove baked ham? Ugh, so GOOD! 🤤
