Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Well hello to anyone who's discovered this new thread .... and welcome!!!

For some time I've noticed things are a bit quiet on a Saturday, especially in the evening. So this will be a social gathering for all forumites and hopefully a place to relax and meet friends. It's also a place where you can talk about whatever's going on for you at the moment, safely, and find support.

If you want to bring something to eat or drink that would be welcome, whatever makes you happy.

Actually that may be a good place to start - jump in anywhere and let us know one thing that makes you happy - currently or over time.

Really looking forward to finding a posse to hang with on a Saturday.

L E T ' S P A R T Y !!!

And of course the beverage of your choice.

EDIT : Do feel free to contribute some music too. Of any style. The more the merrier ...

Welcome!!!

And hi and sorry to anyone about who I have missed here. All are welcome here! Please anyone feel free to tag people I've missed.

Welcome to the forums to anyone who's new - we're a friendly and supportive crew here... @Rose_222 @Rubyrose1 @baritone @Bella0 @Gabrielle1 @Scarlet72 @0_6A-J @Alexis1 @Gemini73 @Zed1 @Abeer Hope you're all finding your way around the forums by now - use the search bar for any topics that interest you, or start your own thread. You can use the @ and then type a person's name and you'll get a drop down box where you can select them.

I'm doing a bit better this morning than I was last night. Haven't been so anxious for so many hours for quite some time. I was really rattled by the possibility that bro or sil had heard something my support worker said to me as she left yesterday. Then bro and sil left for the weekend at their farm without saying goodbye, which compounded my fear. Had a nice message from sil this morning which is a great relief, but hasn't quite sunk in yet. There's so much chemistry for the mind and body to process with such a long anxiety spike. My psychologist called it 'being flooded' - a physical and mental thing. It also showed me just how tenuous my situation here might be (cabin in the back yard of their home).

Time for a late brekky.

Anyway that's where I'm at today - where are you at?

Sending warm wishes to all xoxo

Hey @eth
I hear you re anxiety about people thinking or saying things and getting anxious.
I'm trying to place all thoughts of work out if my mind. Atm I am just on the couch watching QI before I go and get a coffee.

It's a nice day outside. Trying to take inventory on where I am at in life.

Re chemistry and the mind and thoughts... there really is isn't there @eth

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hi @MDT and @DJMasters good to see you. Sorry it took me a while - I was busy doing the tag edit on my opening post and finding as many new chums as I could. Hope this morning is peaceful for you both.

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hi @WIP sorry I missed tagging you. You're welcome here too. I'm having a gentle start and hope you are too.

In response to: Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

No need to say sorry @eth

I was just saying 'hello'.

Yes, a very gentle start to the day for me too.

Hope you are going ok!

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Morning 🌼 and thanks for the tags @MDT and @eth. This morning I took my daughter to her 2nd swim class. The absolute joy on her face really has brightened my mood.

Before swim class I had to get some blood tests. The technician said, "oh, you're pregnant" when he was looking at what he was drawing my blood for, and I had to say "not any more". That really hurt.

A quiet day today. Tidying up the house and doing some groceries. Hi to all passing through x

💐💕 @Molliex .....

Ooooh @eth ..... that was a toughie for you last night. If they left without saying goodbye it would have been natural to presume they had overheard the support worker's comment and taken offence ...... I am so glad you received the message you did from sil this morning, but I am sure your body chemistry is still trying to rebalance, regardless of what your reasoning mind is now saying. I hope it's a gentle recovery day for you today. Take care of you ❣️
