The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I hear you @Angels333...

I often feel like a failure.

My psychiatrist's receptionist didn't book me in when I asked her to on the 27th & instead has me in for the 5th of May. I didn't see her last month - I cancelled at the last minute, because the appointment was the day before my birthday. My psychologist is much more helpful, but I'm quickly running out of medicare funded appointments... I have private health insurance, which will help pay for some more partially. I wish I had more psychologist appointments.

My anxiety is high too. Anyhow, you are not alone.

Sorry I don'I know what to say...

I hope you get some relief soon....

Namaste,

A

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Thanks, I really try and bring some positivity to the forum but I failed my personal goals this week and my therapist has been talking about some pretty dark stuff, leaving me feeling numb and angry. I wish I could cry but there's nothing, no emotion just empty. I hope seeing him Monday helps.

And yes, I really would like to be hospitalised.

I have to go to bed now...

Hugs @Angels333

Namaste,

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I need to go to bed now too. @Angels333 you just have to get through til Monday then and tell your Dr clearly how you feel. In the meanwhile remember to be gentle with yourself and use slow, deep breathing to get through anxiety periods. I find a good book (library is free!) takes my mind off my problems and helps pass the waiting time. Talk to me onthe Night Shift thread in Enjoying time with others in the meanwhile if you want to. I'll check in there over the weekend.

Goodnight all.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi @Shaz51 no one has upset me at all I just had a bad night, I felt terrible. It's Saturday today, so I hope to just get into some housework and hold on until I see my Dr on Monday. I am so grateful for everyone on the forum putting up with me.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hey @CherryBomb!

I did crow pose today!!!! I kept trying maybe 15-20 times - could do it for 1 sec (that was surprising enough), 2 secs, 3 secs & finally 4 secs!!! Yay, I've finally done an arm balance!

Thanks for the encouragement - I know yoga is not just a physical practice, but a way of being & I'm trying to embrace that... I just wish I had the energy to do more running as well *sigh*

Namaste,

A
