General chit chat

Hi Niqua, thanks for your latest message.

Really glad to hear your typing has returned to you and that you are not feeling so teary. It seems like you have little episodes with that maybe. Perhaps a trip to the GP is in order (though I know that might not be something you want to do for various reasons).

Sorry to hear the hard time your child and partner have been through. That is a strange problem with the failure of contraception. I've heard before of people being refused sterilisation when they wanted it because they were considered too young. It sounds like a mistaken view in the case of your child and partner though, given the circumstances.

Anger at ourselves I understand very well. It was a key theme of my session with my psychiatrist today. By contrast, he emphasised the importance of enjoyment of life, in whatever form it comes to us. It's a great idea, though not necessarily easy to put into practice. I will be thinking about it a lot though, as I usually do about what we discuss in these sessions.

I too have seen eagles being chased away from areas by much smaller birds, like crows, magpies, currawongs. They are brave those birds in the face of a goliath-like eagle! I can understand too how you might want to keep an eye on a little dog. Glad you are getting out to the forests, even if it turns out to be just a drive, as with the place that had a locked gate. It sounds like you are working up to your next camping trip.

Very tired here today, just very low energy. I've had the psychiatrist appointment and an afternoon visit to my friend today, both outings I was driven to. Aside from that I've been sleeping and when awake, falling asleep in the chair. But the evening has arrived to give me a bit more oomph and so now I've found the energy to write here.

Streaming love to you continously.

Hi @outlander and everyone here, sending good vibes your way.

Good Morning my wonderful Mazy @Mazarita 🙂

I really don't feel any benefits from Doctors, each to their own - I'm sure there wouldn't be so many if other people didn't feel helped by them 🙂 I just find them stressful, and their tablets only seem to hurt my mouth. Thank-you for caring about me

Yes, the push for people to breed - I don't understand it, there are too many of us on the Planet. Children die daily, . . . why can't we bring them here? Politics? How's that for mass-murder and war mongering!?! Almost forcing people to breed here, so they can make more money, to send to those starving elsewhere.

I do believe that enjoyment is why we live, it's how we endure all the negatives - we all hold hopes for better times 🙂 I think it's why so many can feel relief when they look upon nature, she has a way of showing how simple joy can be. You can not stop a tree from growing in a 'restricted' area, our laws and rules mean nothing to it. You can poison it or chop it down, but you can not stop it growing if it finds a way.

My Forest adventures make me both happy and sad; happy to be experiencing them, sad that it's taken about 20 years for me to do so. I used to think the land here was pretty baron, fairly useless and that's why so many toxic processes were allowed here. But having seen but a few pockets of these forests I now think this whole area would have been 'Forests' if man had not come and destroyed it. There is such diversity of fauna and flora there that I had no idea even existed out here!

I'm going to pack my car today 😄 Head off tomorrow, to a brand new River in a brand new place, somewhere and something different 🙂 I'm actually hoping it will 'set-off' a natural high for me 😉 It could do the opposite if I can't go through with it. Everything's a risk, every thought we think - I'm taking a risk with myself; if I can't do that what hope do I have with the rest of the World?

Sending a silver white spark of energy and knowing how hard it is to visit a friend after a psychiatrist appointment, how draining and befuddling. It can cause, dare I say, a form of insanity - a peak of highs, a valley of lows and a virtual roller-coaster of every emotion known to man . . . and even a few that aren't! Don't feel guilty about sleeping when you cannot avoid it, instead feel joy when you wake - if you have to force yourself to your feet, feel pride in the strength of effort that only you can know that it takes to do that!

Praising that stream, the bond that links us through this little cyber-site Letting myself feel a little excitement. Excitement to me is the joy of fear, it helps me realize that fear is a necessity to live a life 🙂

Beautifully written, @Former-Member!

Feeling the love here, on this wonderful site. The support that we lend to each other in times of trouble, and the shared celebration of our little victories, this means so very much.

Honestly, I think that we are more mentally healthy than the norm, despite the nasty surprises that our minds-out-of-whack deliver to us...

Hugs and happy vibes beaming to you all.

I'm packed . . . . to the rafters 😄 - I always over-pack! Just a few things like pillows, dressing gown and slippers, little fella's coat, young fella's bedding - the stuff I need to use tonight; it's all that's left to stuff into the car in the morning . . .

and go.
