Anyone feel like chatting?

Hi @Former-Member, awake again here. Did you get some sleep?

Morning @Mazarita, no sleep. Logged out for awhile but just kept watching movies. Hopefully you went back to sleep

Ah, that's hard, @Former-Member, hope you enjoyed the movies. I slept again. How are you this morning. I saw on your other thread just now that you are not feeling so good. Here to listen if you want to talk about it.

@Mazarita still watching the movies, no point trying for sleep now, will have to get kids ready for school in about an hour. Just angry and upset with myself for what I did to myself. Glad you got some more sleep.

Hopefully you will be able to get some sleep during the day, @Former-Member. Not sure what you did to yourself, but what's done is done. There's an exercise my psychologist gives me about self-forgiveness. I'll tell you about it in case it's of use, understand if it's not. This is how I do it: I put my hand on my heart and say out loud, 'I forgive you'. Can be done in my mind if other people are around. It's a nurturing gesture, helps me.

@Mazarita Can’t go into specifics of course. I like that exercise your psychologist gave you. I find self forgiveness so hard to do but I guess we are all like that. Harder on ourselves than others. Human nature I suppose.

Hopefully I can have a nap today, just depends on how well my brain is behaving 😐

I get what's happened, I think, @Former-Member. Like I said, what's done is done. I love that exercise that she gave me and have been doing it on and off for months now. It's helped lift some of my guilt about stuff from the past, which is part of what has kept me depressed. Really lucky with my psychologist. Do you like yours (if you have one, that is)?

@Mazarita I see a psychologist weekly and a psychiatrist every 3 weeks for meds. I have a good trusting relationship with my psychologist. Tell him things that I would never tell anyone. I was lucky that I found him on the first go and didn’t have to hunt around as I know so many have gone through multiple psychs looking for a good one.

You are lucky with the psychologist, and that's great, @Former-Member. Up until I met mine last year, I'd never seen a psychologist I really related to. It was a hard road with them before this. Sometimes I felt they were making my mental health worse.

Good morning, @frog. Just got your 'like'. How are you this morning?
