Re: Taking the plunge
I had a bit of a giggle with your 👍😁 comment @Maggie. Almost anything sounds better than this at the moment (except an ED). I took an emergency style pill recently and am now wondering whether that's taken it all up another level this time. I'm super over it 😑 And will stop whinging and sooking about it now 😉
So glad to hear the meetings are going well and huge well done with sharing the big MH stuff. That's a leap. Sounds like it was well received too which I imagine might feel like a relief. Really big stuff ❤ Do you think you'll get to some activities?
Hopefully the sitting tight with counsellor doesn't go on too much longer. It's hard being scared of bumping in to people (and scared in general).
My hair still has big pop style colour 💙 I'll have to go over it again soon though as this kind of bright doesn't last too long before it fades. My hair grows quickly and doesn't take colour well (even when I bleach way beyond what I should). It means short and colourful is a pain. I don't make anything easy for myself 😆 And yep, I have mermaid feet (not a thing haha). I love them 😍
Hope the shopping and iPad updating goes OK if you get there. Peanut M&Ms as a treat later perhaps? Big ❤
👋 and ❤ to you @outlander. Thanks for your hellos 😊 I hope today is going OK enough for you (that's a question or a statement - however you'd like to take it).
👋 to all

Re: Taking the plunge
Being in pain isn’t winging or sooking @CheerBear . I can well imagine being over it. 😕😕😕
I will eventually get to some activities @CheerBear. For now I’m stoked I’ve made it every day this week, so far. I’m more than a bit pleased. 👍👍👍
I don’t know if the MH stuff was well received or not, but it felt kind of acceptable, for now. I understand that they have no idea what it’s like, so I’m accepting that also. It’s a two way thing I think. I have my book, so if they are open to reading, I will share. But small steps for now. No rush.
I have a mental image of your hair @CheerBear . Possibly nothing like it really is. 😁
I haven’t made it to the shop or iPad. It’s hot, that’s my excuse. I’ve sorted some cupboards, looking for something really. Still unfound. I’m always hiding things from myself. Frustrating. 😕😕
Looking at rocks and colour.
Any yarning getting done? 🧶🧶🧶
One more coffee. ☕️☕️👍👍❤️❤️
Thinking of you @Former-Member . ❤️💙

Re: Taking the plunge
Really struggling this morning @CheerBear . Darkness hit hard yesterday. My spine has flared up this morning, so I’m putting it down to stress.
Pelice drop off Friday.
I hope to make the meeting this morning. Meds are starting to work a little I think.
How way yesterday?
How is today looking? ☕️☕️💙💙

Re: Taking the plunge
I had a feeling you might have been having a struggle one this morning @Maggie. So sorry about your spine and the stress 😔 Pain makes everything so much harder. Was the darkness triggered by having Friday be the day or was it a something/everything/nothing in particular situation? Either way it sucks lots 🙁 I hope the meds help enough to get you to the meeting.
Yesterday was super busy until late for me. I slept for what feels like 3 minutes (it wasn't but it was very little) with very vivid nightmares, tummy cramps, an unsettled kid, a bonkers kitty... it goes on. Very tired this morning.

Re: Taking the plunge
So sorry about the nightmares, no sleep, tummy cramps, unsettled kid and bonkers kitty @CheerBear . That’s a lot of awful happening. I really hope Friday and dr sorts out some cramp issues at least.
It must be so hard having to keep going with and through it all, I often think of you when I see a mum with 3. It’s tough dealing with that, let alone all the other big stuff.
The darkness hit like a switch @CheerBear . Walked into a dark wall. Everything and nothing I think. I hate broken brains.
Can you spend some of today on couch island, with comfy pillows?? 💜💜💙💙❤️❤️💛💛💚💚

Re: Taking the plunge
I have a MH worker today, our first proper meeting. Sleep and rest sounds better though 😑 Maybe a little down time before or after.
Broken brains make it super hard 🙁 The darkness switch sounds hard. I don't have a lot of words for that but I'm feeling with you and care a lot. I really hope tomorrow is OK enough and helps relieve some worry or stress, even just a little.
Did you get some rocks or colour into yesterday? You asked about yarn and I haven't pulled it out for a while. I've been spending time with he person as well as the usual doing stuff I do so it feels like I've been busy (aside from the write off that has been this week). When he starts work soon our time together will lessen and then yarn will happen I think.
You're probably not far off leaving. I'm thinking of you lots, hoping very much that the meeting feels good in some way.
Big big ❤
