Night Shift

@eth,

I feel the same about being friends. We only get the chance to talk one-on-one at odd times of the night or early morning it seems. My psychologist also wants me not to be on the computer at night. I'm taking that as advice and not an order I have to obey. I'm a bit ambivalent about my psychology treatment actually and it is conflicting to a degree with what my psychiatrist is saying, especially that I feel pressured to move fast on my recovery by my psychologist (which tends to collapse me in a heap). My psychiatrist is saying taking it slowly and steadily, which I agree with.

I don't think your data quota would have anything to do with how many notifications you receive. Maybe just enjoy the lack of notifications as I am and look up what you are missing in your 'manage subscriptions' section of your profile when you are ready to respond (threads with new posts are 'bolded').

No wonder you feel that way about your psychologist @Mazarita. It must be extra pressure having their advice conflict.

It's another beautiful morning here, sky getting lighter and birds twittering. Different colours of foliage becoming apparent. Have you been outside yet?

@eth,

Sounds lovely up there. It's chilly in the mornings here now and I'm getting the sneezes and coughs from the change of seasons. Slacking out on going outside at the moment, hehe. I'm actually wearing a woollen beret and ugg boots, it's so chilly. Winter in this part of the world often does involve plunging temperatures especially at night and early morning.

To backtrack a little, I know what you mean about getting emotionally drained by crisis situations you get involved with. I've been in the same situation several times since being on the site. The forum is not meant to be for crisis situations but it's often not as simple as referring people elsewhere. I wish the moderators would become more involved when these crisis posts appear and have suggested it in feedback.

That sounds like it's colder than it ever gets up here @Mazarita

I have had the same feelings about the mods and have reported the situations to them at the time. But I also learned that I need to remember to not loose myself and my own needs in these situations.

I'm going to take a break now, maybe have another short nap if I can. Good to talk with you again. Hope you reach your goals today 🙂

Enjoy the break, @eth, and catch up with you next time. Thanks for the good wishes for today. After the burntout day I had yesterday, I really appreciate them.

Whoops .... woke up with the iPad nearby and realised I dozed off after my last comment @eth. It sounds like you and @Mazarita are both getting a bit more sleep, and still finding each other here at a similar time.

Have a good day, both of you ... 🌸

Sending much love and healing calming happy vibes to you @Angels333... and a candle from me for your brother... many hugs.

Hi @Mazarita @Faith-and-Hope @eth (yay, I can tag you again...) @Former-Member @PeppiPatty @Shaz51 @plasmo @Former-Member @BlueBay @Former-Member and others I'm sure to have missed...

I hope life is being kind to you. If not, let me know, and I will come and kick life in the soft places so that it behaves more nicely towards you... hahaha...

Huggles...
