Friday Coffee & Chat -27 March

Happiest of Fridays to you @Fluttershy1, and everyone stopping by 💚

My day has been good so far, did some exercise, tended to my plants, tidied up a bit and enjoyed a lovely chai 💚

If I could change one thing for the better right now, it would be to ensure that everyone has a perfect cup of their favourite drink (coffee, tea, etc.) whenever they need a moment of peace ☕

Hoping everyone has a lovely and gentle weekend ahead, I'll be around, of course 💚

@MatchaToad - I’m stuck in ED as I am quite unwell we think I might have RSV or pneumonia so just waiting to get some tests done as I’ve been struggling with my breathing.

If I could change 1 thing it would be so people aren’t so alone and can get support for their mental health without any stigma.

im just wanting to feel better, I wanna cry.

@Fluttershy1

I am so sorry you are going through such a frightening and exhausting time right now. Being in the ED is hard enough, but struggling with your breathing on top of it is just so overwhelming. It makes sense that you want to cry, sometimes that is the most honest response to feeling this unwell 💚

I'm sending you so much strength while you wait for those tests. I hope the doctors can get you some relief and a clear answer soon so you can start feeling physically safer.

Your wish for a world without stigma is so beautiful, and even now, while you’re struggling, you’re helping create that world just by being here and sharing your heart with us.

We’re all right here with you in the waiting room in spirit. Take it one breath at a time, and please be as gentle with yourself as you can 💚

@MatchaToad - I’ve already fallen off the chairs once hahaha, thanks for being supportive and being there for others, you are a amazing person; I’m just taking 1 breath at a time because I feel so unwell.

Hello lovelies, I am catching up on my notifications now, but I may not get to them all today, so I wanted to pop by and check in here. 🥰

I hope you're all finding soothing in the body where you can and feeling loved & supported by one another in the process.

Sending you all the biggest of hugs!! 💛

Heyy @AuntGlow - how are you?

what is 1 thing you would like to change?

Hello @Fluttershy1!

I am well - on to my second iced latte of the day hehe

How are you?

Hmm, that is such a good question!

Do you mean internally or in the world? 💛

@AuntGlow - in the world,

I could be better, I’m sitting in the ER as I’m extremely unwell, I’m now awaiting blood tests etc, I just wanna curl up in a ball and cry because I’m so overwhelmed and I just want to be home in my own bed

I had my hot cocoa during telehealth therapy, as planned

We did not plan the return to F2F

I had sent her a 2 minute video of me trying a somatic grounding exercise. She seemed to really like it. But she was more intense than usual, so I ended after 20 minutes

The Plaud A.I. note taker works well

Oh that sounds very overwhelming, I am so sorry you're sitting with some unknown in an unfamiliar place, that would be really hard... what is one thing that might help you to feel 1% more comfortable right now? @Fluttershy1

Also, I would change the way people interact with shame. When shame is held in safe spaces that encourage healing or change, people shift and evolve in such beautiful ways - ways that continue to heal themselves and others. 🫶
