Re: not coping

Hi and welcome to the forums @AussieRecharger. Thanks for your kind words.

This is probably the most I've posted in weeks! I've been a bit quiet as I've had a lot on.

You just have to ask @outlander how busy I am, and she would certainly agree with that.

Being busy is good sometimes. It makes me accountable with my mental health, and keeps me distracted. Unfortunately though I've been diagnosed with a couple of other physical illnesses, so I've got a lot of medical appts & procedures to go to.

I just get on with it, is my attitude. I could stay in bed, I could (and sometimes do) I moan about it. But take a look around the forums. Many of us are doing it tough. And many of us are resilient. We just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Some days that's easier to do. Other days it's much harder.

Re: not coping

Oh no hun. That's not good at all. Are waters still rising for you? I don't have a TV, so I've not been following all that closely?

Re: not coping

I have moved from waterfront house @Sans911 but S2 is living there with his family and he had to get sandbags around it today. The river is level with the pool.

Re: not coping

Oh boy @Eve7. That must be really worrying. My friend lives opposite a lake on the Central Coast of NSW. They have to contend with flooding almost every year.
