i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

It does help me when I'm in class @Former-Member. But I find my mind wanders too much at home. I'm really glad you have a psychologist at uni to help. They can definitely help fill in the gap for you. It's actually not as tough going as I thought and is taught more along the lines of conflict management in the workplace but I'm learning things about me as well. Can you still see the uni psychologist until the end of this semester? Good luck with your situation. I was so glad to hear you are being supported at work. I hope that is still going well.
You've been quiet today @Former-Member. Is everything ok?

Hello Everyone,
Hi @Former-Member, Thank you for your encouragement. I'm interested in what you've said about having fallen into the same category, and it being more... ?
I'm seeing a psychiatrist and a councillor currently, but also looking for a new psychologist.
How are you going? Do you see a psychologist? if I may ask? sorry if you've said
It's difficult for me being open, for a lot of reasons.
Thank you again. Yes, one day at a time.
Hi @Former-Member, you're welcome, it's nice you'd thought of me, and aww thank you, doesn't matter how tall you are :).
Thank you for your understanding.
I am sorry that you feel so low, I know it is awful not to have motivation, and worse again not to be sure of what you enjoy any more. Do you suffer depression? if I'm allowed to ask? sorry if you've said
Where would you go if you could travel anywhere? I hope you will feel well enough to.
Thank you, I know I come and go, it's nice you all seem understanding of that.
I'm sorry you're not feeling so good, I understand not knowing what to say, and thank you for your wanting to let me know, I appreciate it. Hope you're feeling alright today?
Hi @Shaz51, how are you?
I hope that everyone is doing alright!

Hi @Former-Member 
Good to hear from you babe, do whatever you need to do for you and also whatever makes you happy. I'm not too bad, I finish the content of my volunteer program this wk 23rd Nov, and the week after I have induction training 30rd Nov (paid & volunteer staff) and Presentation 7th Dec.
I am all good today @Former-Member . I had a nice dinner and just finished a hot chocolate- both were yum dinner and drink. What is something nice you can do for yourself tomorrow, we could have one of those self care activity. Yesterday I got my mum a new watch and I went down to give it to her today.

Hi @Lostboy
Thanks for the shout out yesterday
I wanted to say a lot of what you wrote resonates with me, I too have BPD traits and I can understand how difficult life can be with this MI. And how you described how you got your depression is very silmiar to mine. It all makes sense to me.
What do you do day to day?
