Re: Taking the plunge
@eth , I hope you second ☕️ Went down well earlier.
I have just watched an update by the PM. It’s hard for so many, on so many levels.. I don’t know what to think. It’s much , much bigger than anything I personally anticipated. My thoughts are with you. 💙💙💙💙

Re: Taking the plunge
Dear @Maggie Yes it's certainly getting more real for a lot of people right about now. I think 2 things are really important (on top of all the necessary things we keep hearing about) : Keep connected with your community, reach out via technology as much as possible, whatever form your community takes - for a lot of people that means here. And : focus on positive activities or hobbies, pass the time as gently as you can, limit social media exposure which is generating so much fear, remember your self-care things - make a list if need be to remind yourself when you need to or look at Coping Box , what’s in your tool box? , or toolbox for ideas. There are also quite a few positive threads popping up or being re-activated e.g. The Community Garden 🙂 and those about crafts, pets, recipes etc.
Sending you all my love. Take care and stay kind (that's my motto at the moment) xx
Edit : @Former-Member you can share this widely if you think it's appropriate.

Re: Taking the plunge
Hey everyone
Just a fly by hi and coffee drop off to anyone wanting one 👋☕
Missed you again this morning @Maggie. We went to unwell and well person's house very late last night. I've kept the kids pretty well isolated and been very careful myself. We all spoke for a while and decided that it's worth spending a bit of time here while we can before the risk increases. It feels a bit yucky.
I hope you're going as OK as you can be. Thinking lots of you and others who are pretty on your own-ish as it is.
Here with you ❤

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I can imagine it feeling yucky with well and unwell person. So much uncertainty.
Thanks for your thoughts @CheerBear . Though nothing has really changed much in my world, everything has. I’m having my moments with it all, as I imagine you, and everyone are. Life has changed overnight, and might keep changing for some time.
My thoughts are with you also, as I know having the crew home is super hard.
Take care where you can. Lots of ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It made my day a bit brighter to see you @Maggie 💗 Hugs for the nothing but everything changing. That's unsettling and confusing, and totally understandable.

Re: Taking the plunge
I just knew you would understand @CheerBear .
I wish I could tune out, but that’s not happening either. Unsettling and confusing is my norm, but this is w. a. y over the top. I don’t think I’m coping at all, but who could?
It made my day brighter with you dropping in briefly. Lots of 💙💜💚❤️🐢💛❤️💜💙💚

Re: Taking the plunge
The confusing and unsettled is next level here too @Maggie. And I can't tune out either. I'm not sure how we cope with something like this. All the words trying to make it feel better are kind of falling onto nothingness for me more often than not right now.
Do you have anyone checking in with you? Counsellor maybe?
