The Weekly Friday Feast

NikNikSenior Contributor22 May 2015, 5:12 pm AEST

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

Thanks for all the welcomes. Sometimes chucking on a quick pasta is the best thing! So easy and yummy. I think this time of the year is especially challenging - all that social time and the demands of christmas and family. Its the time of year when lots of self compassion can really help. I like to reflect that I can only do what I can do. 🙂

Everyone here believes you do deserve to be alive @Former-Member.

You are already doing what you can - you're in the right place being cared for in hospital, and you are taking more positive steps connecting with us here

Hi everyone. Was looking forward to the Friday Feast but I actually went out and took my fur baby to the beach for a couple of hours. Just what I needed today. Will catch up on the posts in due course. Hope everyone is doing ok

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@Former-Member, that is so hard feeling like you have to justify yourself to others. Wow, it sounds like you are experiencing a range of challenging symptoms. Interesting what you said about hating labels yet finding them useful in terms of receiving the DSP and facilitating appropriate treatment - during our "What use is a diagnosis?" Topic Tuesday earlier in the year we similarly discussed how diagnosis can be a double-edged sword, you might find it interesting to read.

I'm sorry that her unfairly questioning you has led you to question yourself - there is nothing inherently wrong with you. Like you said to @Former-Member, it not your fault, rather, it's likely related to those unlucky cards you mentioned.

Oh so gorgeous! That's right, I remember about your kittens arriving recently. I would love to have a Burmese cat! My brother has had 2, both so lovely!
