Night Shift

Hi @BlueBay. I know I can't do anything to make things better and I know you're stressing about your son going overseas. I was a bit like that too. My son went at 19 to backpack around Thailand Laos and Cambodia by himself. I was petrified but he kept in contact with me very couple of days and that helped. What helped the most was seeing/ hearing how happy he was, it makes it just a bit easier to deal with. He is the one living overseas this year and I'm still scared when he travels but I see how happy and how much he is growing into a good man and it really helps. I know you will be counting the minutes until he is back and I hope you can find ways to distract yourself while he is away and for this weekend. Take care😊💜

Hi @Former-Member, great to see you online tonight. Good to hear you have made it out of bed. Wise choice to come and go on the forum as needed. That's what it's here for I think, not to have us glued (as I regularly am, hehe). Thanks for your well wishes on my coffee get-together with new friend. It went great and we are planning to do it as a regular thing. Hope there are some uplifting moments for you this evening. 🙂

@comet. I hope it's a good game tonight. I used to watch sport but not so much anymore, living with 5 sport mad males it was unavoidable. My 16 yr old isn't into watching sport much and the others all moved away. My two eldest are into the American NFL and are statistic nuts on it. I'll have to check out the Missy Higgins song. I only have her first album which I haven't listened to for ages. Listening to music is dependent upon my mood. At the moment I pretty much cry at any song but that will change again soon I'm sure. Really nice to hear something of your life. Sounds like you have a fabulous psych too which is awesome. When you are ready it would be good to share how you are really feeling. Take care and I hope you enjoy your night😊💜

Oops@plasmo. I hope you find something to do. I'm sure once you find the right thing it will make a huge difference. Finding that thing is the tricky bit. I hope you pick up a bit tonight😊💜

@plasmo

Any hobbies happening tonight ?

I'm watching cooking shows.

Hello All,

@Former-Member How was your day? I'm very sleepy lately and had a big nap just after work - so no time for my scrap book. I bought one yesterday though 🙂 I am looking forward to get started. I know I have all these photos on my phone, but I think a scrap book is just so different.

@BlueBayI used to hate the good bye messages from my psych, but: @BlueBay please be gentle and kind to yourself tonight. There is a lot going on in your life right now and I really hope your day will be brighter tomorrow. How young is your son and is he going on his own or travelling in a group? I used travel heaps and I am sure my parents had their fair bit of worry, but I am pretty sure your son be fine, just like all the other young boys that grow up and leave mummy's home some day. I know the feeling, both my kids are grown & living on their own - it is difficult to let go.

@comet I would also like to hear more on the GROW meeting. We have them here in the area as well, but I am a bit hesitant to join a group session.

Hi to everyone else as well - this is post is too busy for me, so I just catch up from time to time.

Has anyone got exciting plans for the weekend? I planned nothing - and will see what the weather brings and how I feel.

@comet you inspired me to on an old album of Missy Higgins - The Sound of White. Reminds of when I was going through a rough time, and how much I connected to her music. Loving the walk down nostalgia lane. Thanks for reminding of this beautifully talented artist. Listening to it right now, and loving it.

Thank you @CherryBomb and @comet for your post. i am listening to missy higgins right now; such an emotional song for me right now.

@CherryBomb I need time to myself, not sure for how long; don't know what i am doing tonight. Just need to say goodnight for now. may write another poem though

Thank you everyone for encouraging me to be me and to try to get through my dark days. everything is just so dark tonight, i don't know who to turn to
