Re: rough time
Abit calmer but not better @Bella1978 didnt really sleep last night so i know thats cotributing abit as well. Its a more quiet day at home. Cleaning washing. Took pop to buy his new car and now hoping to sell his other one. Oh thats good i hope you hear back from them and can get into one. Its hard to get motivated isnt it. Maybe can you give yourself a reward for thsi arvo or after your finished everything like a nice long bubble path or doing some of your crafts?

Re: rough time
@outlander Calmer is good. Wish u were feeling better sweets. When youve felt like this before, what has helped you to get through it? Ooh new car ... nice! I love checking out the new cars when I'm driving, but I keep my Sylvester .. yes my car has a name hehe .. he is silver, and yes his gender is male 😄 i got him new too - very exciting .. that was nearly 12 years ago - not so new anymore but he does the job! I do like the idea of rewarding myself after doing my errands. You're a clever chooken! Sending you lots and lots of squishy hugs!

Re: rough time
Here-these forums helped me get through it @Bella1978 i dont have supports besides mh professionals and they cost me to speak to one of those. Lol not a brand new car just another car as his other car is abit broken. His new car isnt really new at all. Does that make sense... . We often name our cars too but i cant say the names as some are abit identifying. Lol having a car with an identifiable name. Sounds good, make your list and a reward too. Itll help get you up and running. Im doing chores too we can both be unmotivated together.

Re: rough time
I find it can actually be quite liberating when we realise all we can do is put one foot in front of the other... Its really such a small thing but it can actually make a huge difference to our overall attitude

Re: rough time
And thanks btw @outlander Had a good day to myself thus far. I think I got sunburnt ☀ in the rough surf. I always thought I was hot enough though 😋 Remember to use your safety plan if the need arises @outlander you are going well 🙂 more than you probably think
