Morning @Former-Member and everyone else 🙂

The sun is out but not sure for how long. Catching up with a friend this morning for a coffee/chat. Then it's housework cleaning day 😞

Hope you all have a nice day. xxoo

Here's the shortened version @TAB. Had jokes in the last oh well.

my therapist says my main goals are stability and predictability. I think these fit a bit for you too. It seems like you need the stability of having somewhere to call home for a bit, enough food, health etc

the predictability part is having routines. For me I need lots of small achievable goals. my overall goal is to get back into the workforce so I can keep the roof I have over my head for the kids and I. To do this we have broken it into heaps of steps. But first and foremost I can't work or function properly until I have my brain sorted.

I very much understand how not working has punched a huge hole in your self esteem. It does with me too. I hate meeting new people for fear of the dreaded question "what do you do" It kills socialising for me. I guess though I know that I'm working towards it. I have a fair idea now of where I'm going and that has taken a long time on its own.

soooo I reckon you need to work out how to look after you which means maybe a sea change. I'm pretty sure everything is pretty expensive where you are and services are limited. I think it's a good time to work out what is it you need most in life then break that down. If it's health then where are you going to be able to achieve that and how etc.

I know this all sounds like the bleed'n obvious but it's taken me 6 months of my counsellor reinforcing this for me to get it and when my emotions take over and my logic goes out the window she has to constantly remind me.

I hope this isn't to preachy. If I'm honest most days I battle it all but deep down I know that I have to listen and try to follow this because doing it on my own hasn't worked out so well either.

Hope your day is ok today 🙂

Morning @BlueBay, @Former-Member, @Former-Member.

Sunny hear too. About to have coffee. I hope your day is kind to you 💕

Thanks @Former-Member ..pretty much nailed it, and have been through the 'what are my priorities' thing, and yes re sea changes etc and yes re what do you do, except throw in why arent you swimming in money haha well do get paid reasonably when do work, but its pretty much dried up atm and tend to live off savings for at least 4 months a year, well a lot more this year.. anyhoo .. Thanks again, and hope you have a good day too
