Twisted -self care
Every morning I drive east into the sun.
At traffic lights I put sunscreen on the backs of my hands.
This morning I realised that this is self care,
Very rare for me.
I need to do more of this....

What does the paid @Former-Member do while the unpaid people do all the work?

Re: Twisted -self care
Hi @Catcakes - moderators are generally checking and reading each post that goes out (i imagine they're all getting good at speed reading with the number of posts that go through each night) as well as responding to different things that come up as required... as well as approving photos etc, helping with editing of posts if need to be changed, and i think keeping notes for next shifts etc... I know the forums arent always perfect... but im so grateful for them being here for us...

Hi @Catcakes
I'm sure you already know the forum is a place for members to share their lived experiences, it is not a counselling or crisis service, there other services that can assist you.

Re: Twisted -self care
@Catcakes - read back last few pages now, sorry you are feeling so low tonight, im struggling a bit too, maybe just exhaustion catching up with me and a feeling of overwhelm from events. Not sure, its hard... and im feeling pathetic and not much help probably..
Is there anything that will help you at the moment? Here listening if you have words that will come out? I know the hc is closed now but there is lifeline or other helplines if you think they could be supportive tonight?
Take care of you
