The catch up thread!

Morning @heartathome sweetheart, can't wait to see your pictures. I hope work goes well for you today and that you enjoy catching up with your neighbour. Sudoku is lots of fun, definitely a fun addiction 😂. Lots of love and hugs to you beautiful ❤️.

Thank you so much for the advice @SmilingGecko

I'll definitely give it a look.

Funny how after my last psychiastric hospital admission I've been open to trying new strategies for my journey to wellness. As long as they don't smack of the rubbish espoused by the oh so useless group facilitators there.

I give my mental health support worker who tried the strategies promoted by her employers because she was duty bound to. But then turned to simply pro-actively listening to me and talking to me as a valuable person full credit for that

Go well my friend 🧡 @Taali

@MissGremlin hopefully I will get some sleep tonight. Just grateful I'm not feeling irritable and out of sorts. May do some Qigong later. Looks like I cant take a supp anymore. Looked it up and it can cause insomnia when taken later in the day. I take mine at 8 or 9am and still insomnia so will have to stop taking it. I've had the same with other supps. My body is very sensitive after the rigors of heavy psych meds. I think I will always have a weak constitution.

@SmilingGecko I'm glad you're not feeling irritable and out of sorts. That sucks about not being able to take supp but at least you know what's caused the insomnia. Sending hugs sweet ❤️

yeah i could not access sane at all last night @MissGremlin 

@Jacques oh that sucks. There's definitely issues at the moment. Hope you're doing ok?

Oh where oh where could that little dog be????

@Taali

Yes, Yes, Yes,

I am glad your support worker turned

" to simply pro-actively listening to me and talking to me as a valuable person full credit for that".

That used to be fundamental in therapy and counselling, and simple human decency, but ... with the rise of tick boxes and tek ... many in the people field forgot about that BASIC idea.

Dont get me wrong... I love science and rationality... as far as it is good and useful ... but there are realms where it is clumsy and inefficient and not really fit for purpose...

Yes, I dont see an improvement in the functionality of the forum, just more restrictiveness.... so I am diagnosing a little paranoia and excessive concern for control and legal liability over the potentials the forum really could have as a community.

Jeez... we should have been able to have our art, links and pictures....!?! They can be healthful vehicles to aid communication.

@Bunniekins Yeah ,,, Bunniness

@heartathome thanks for tagging me

@MissGremlin thanks for being a starter

@Jacques Great to see you... Always great to see you!

@Dimity Sorry for your upsetting day ... family stuff can be so hard, and we sensitive souls, absorb feelings and reflect ....

Circle of hugs for us all

Yeah I too am disappointed with the forums at the moment. I'd love to see more pics etc. As you quite rightly point out they are often a really valuable means of us expressing ourselves safely and of understanding each other

We'll just have to keep on keeping on and at times finding our way around the difficulties.
