Night Shift

Hi @Angels333. I admire that you want to contribute positively to the forum. At the same time I encourage you to feel free to express anything that is helpful to you. Sorry you are unwell at the moment but good to hear you are speaking to Lifeline and have your doctor's psychiatrist appointment very soon. The forum is here for you now and/or when you return, whatever you decide is best. Sending hugs your way.

Hi @Former-Member, good to read your kind words, though the days are hard for you. On a lighter note, I can see the dilemma with library books and cats, lol! Maybe if you got the library book and very carefully kept it in an out of reach place to the cats, only taking it down when you want to read? It's cool that we can share our reading interests here. I'm still going on Peter Carey's Ned Kelly novel, that @PeppiPatty also loves. Going very slowly with it but finding it rewarding. By coincidence, I was staying part of the time in Kelly country when down south in Victoria.

Hi @eth, so good to see you around. Hope your day was okay @Former-Member.

Fond wishes @Shaz51, @Jacques, everyone here.

Thanks @Mazarita. How are you tonight? How was your day?

@eth, the day was pretty good, except mainly for a very sore tongue from a sharp broken tooth that is giving me ulcers. Dentist appointment on Friday. I can't wait (not something I usually think about the dentist, hehe). Had a beach walk with a friend, which was lovely. She is bipolar and was in a pretty manically anxious state of mind. She talked almost constantly for almost three hours. I love her but started to get dizzy and feel unwell from all the talking at one point. On the other hand she is always very kind to me and helps me whenever she can (especially with getting myself out of the flat), so in another way I am glad to be able to be there for her in her various states. She and I are going to meditation tomorrow morning, which is a wonderful thing we share and helps us both. How are you today, what was your day like?

I'm ok thanks @Mazarita. Just a quiet day at home til about 3 then coffee and an early dinner with a good friend. It was a lovely evening. Sounds like your friend has a good friend in you. Sorry to hear about your tooth. I'm going to head for bed now, need to try to sleep. Chat more soon. Nite nite 🙂

@Jacques, yes, I've been free of the green for four weeks now and feeling very good about it and like my clearer head. I aim to never touch it again. Thanks for seeing the best in me (and even exaggerating it, hehe).

@eth, great to hear you had a lovely evening. Good idea about heading to bed, I'll be doing the same very shortly. Nighty night. 🙂
