hello @Kate12

hello @Former-Member

Checking in @Sophie1

Hi @Former-Member 👋

thx for checking in

doing well considering COVID strangeness in Vic .. we are in a very impacted area so being very careful

MsS doing very well with new psychologist and trauma therapist - I'm super relieved as burden off me yay

my counsellor going well too - feeling very supported which is lovely

how are you coping ?

@Sophie1 Feeling supported = yay

Plugging away here slowly.

Step by step .. slowly ... best way to do most things @Former-Member .. keep finding the quiet special moments of beauty each day and cherish those xxxx

Tender moments = yes please.

How has this week been @Sophie1 ?

Hi @Former-Member

this week has been huge - has job interviews final stages for the job I was applying for in feb !!! They suddenly had funding again ... I'll find out this week 🤞🤞🤞

I am also working with a career coach for 4 weeks to work out what I want from my career and what to do next and how to do it - I really feel like I'm getting my confidence back and a sense of direction and self esteem that I had lost in my current workplace

anyway MsS is going well with her psychologist and trauma therapist - altho migraines still every few days -- so tomorrow I convinced MsS today she needed to book in to the migraine neurologist specialist - she agreed and I think she may actually do it this time lol sigh grrrr

but today as MsS had such a bad migraine I went for a walk on my own - I actually really enjoyed the space alone - was healing for me somehow... ??

how are you at spending time alone Darcy ? What is it like for you ?

Fingers crossed re: job @Sophie1 having a satisfying career can help in the other area if our lives

Migraines = 😵😵😵 Hoping that relief will be found.

I don't mind spending some time alone and am comfortable doing so - walking the dogs, shopping, going to a cafe or gardening. Some things I feel are best done with others (not necessarily Mr D - ie enjoying a hobby with others who have a similar interest). I have also been supportive of Mr Darcy to do things without me. Doing things as a couple is important too and believe that there is a limit as to what would be an acceptable level of separate vs together time.
