Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

It’s just me getting paranoid when Lots of people pass through and I think I’m being spied on.

I cancelled my pdoc appt yesterday because I thought she was spying.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear, @Eve7 😞

Would you prefer me to write to you here on my thread?

I care about you and only want good for you. Sending lots of 💛 and hugs...

Wow @Anastasia , you've achieved a lot! I had to giggle at you being in stitches with your boy during your presumably very serious role play for your MH Tafe assessment 😄

I am totally sure you won't fail it! You've been getting high marks all the way through I think!

And only a week till you hear about the scholarship...crossing all fingers...

My boys doing ok...still seeing the girls 😔but I need to allow him to make decisions and pray that the last two years have enabled enough growth to put down the boundaries needed to keep him safe 🙏

Not easy.

I am impressed with this as it must be so hard. Is there more than one toxic girl? 😮

I didn't do much clearing yesterday but have today and tomorrow. Yes, am very excited about my brother coming!

How long does it take for the NDIS to complete the review?

And I also wanted to ask how you've been sleeping?

I am excited as we now have 3 days of sunshine 🙂

Hoping you can restore and refresh this weekend 💚

Hello @NatureLover and thank you for your lovely message 💛

It was funny, still grinning now. He's precious and we do have fun times together. I am grateful he did my role play with me. Thank you for your kind words, yes top marks so far so fingers crossed 🙏

Thank you, there's only one toxic one...the leader. The other one I am grateful for and I always loved her. She called me the night my boy needed help. I will be forever grateful to her that my boy is here. Unfortunately though she follows the toxic one. Tonight there will be six apparently, so it's not the "party" scene I envisioned but I'll still be a wreck waiting it out.

Go you with the clearing!!!

🤸‍♀️🎇⭐

You said today? Were you up at the crack of dawn?

The review is the 24th. The paperwork I did will now go the the support coordinator to add her bits and check over. She may come back to us for tweaking. I wanted to give her time. She's catching up with my boy Wednesday so if she has gaps or questions she can discuss then. It's just nice that the balls no longer in our court.

I know one week...gosh I so hope for it, I can taste it lol. They are an incredible organisation, they do so much for the greater good of lived experience. I would be honoured to become involved with them and feel like it's meant to be 🙏🤞

I have been sleeping reasonably well, thank you. Last night not so much as bf annoying me but that's another story. But overall sleep has been good and my boy hasn't woken me for a few days ✔️👍🎇

Oh sun, three days....that is wonderful news NL!!! I'm actually doing a happy dance lol 💃

I expect you will have some lovely walks and enjoy every minute? That just makes me so happy to hear and envision. I hope it provides you with a "full tank" of restored energy and joy, you deserve that 💛☀️

I'm happy you're excited that your brother is visiting, that warms my heart. What a lovely gift as a birthday present. Time from a loved one is priceless. I look forward to hearing what you are comfortable to share as to what you end up doing together during his visit.

Enjoy your weekend my precious friend and thank you for friendship, I am very blessed.

I bought some 🥐🥐 and have fresh ,☕☕

So leaving some for you to enjoy 😁

Love and hugs NL 💛💚🌳

Thanks for your newsy message @Anastasia 🙂 and the ☕ and 🥐

Oh gosh re 6 girls! But am glad only one is toxic <shudder> I hope you were able to get some sleep...but I suspect not much...?

Sounds like you have prepared the NDIS review well in advance 🙂

Oh I phrased it wrongly - I was up early as usual but no, hadn't done any early cleaning!

I will only have one morning with my brother and then a long lunch. He has other people to see as well in Melbourne. But it will be great to see him, haven't seen him for so long!

Are you seeing your parents this weekend?

Thanks for being so happy for me about the lovely sunshine 🙂 Yes, I hope for some long slow walks.

Much 💚

Hello dear @NatureLover

Thank you for your message 💚

I've slept but now I could really really really do with a message from him. Nothing since he texted to say he arrived there last night. Yes he's stayed over 😱

Haha I re read your clearing message and i giggled, no just me being vague it makes perfect sense 😁

A small amount of time with your brother is still priceless and when food is involved, even more so 💚

Yes seeing my parents today for lunch. Dad has booked a booth at their local bowling club. They do a lovely menu but I believe they have changed the name of the restaurant which in history means new ownership. Hoping it's as good as it was. Time will tell. Still looking forward to the four of us cathong up over a lovely lunch. It will be my first time since June that I've eaten out. Ironically the last time was there with them on a Tuesday which was to be a new fortnightly ritual, just the three of us.

My bf and I went for a 30k bike ride yesterday all along the beaches. He had to work so we put the bikes in the car and after he worked made the most of the area. It was a cold day but we rugged up and it was nice to be out seeing new places whilst my boy was busy.

I was a tad sore (old age haha) so came home and had a lovely bath, fell asleep in it and then ordered in dinner. A lovely day/night to attempt to take my mind off my boys absence. It helped but my riding skills, well lack of were evident. I took an anti anxiety pill and riding was questionable and yet anxiety was still ridiculous. Anyhow...sorry to drone on, hopefully he'll message or better still come home soon!

I will be thinking of you today with another day of sun. Enjoy beautiful friend. I'm going to make a ☕ and one for you when you return ☕

Lots of 💚

Had to edit all my typos, gosh I wish my phone was smarter!

Hi @Anastasia , I hadn't realised your boy was staying over...what happened when he came home? No wonder your anxiety was bad...I hope everything is OK...

How did it go meeting your parents for lunch at the bowling club?

Was amazed at the 30km bike ride!

I ended up falling in a bit of a hole yesterday. Went back to bed after the SANE Forums. So all I managed was a laundry wash and dry, and sitting out in the sun for an hour.

But today the sun is shining again and I have work, am intending to go.

I hope that this wek at work you can hold on to the scholarship news coming at the end of the week, and that work isn't too stressful, and that things are OK with your boy. Sending 💚 and ☕

Hello dear @NatureLover

Not good here, so much for good decisions here! Imagine a stack of cards that's my situation here with my boy.

Arghhh

Lunch was lovely, same owners they just changed their name. Thank you for asking 💚

I'm sorry to hear you feel in a.holr. you did well to manage some washing and some quality time in the sun, go you ✔️👍⭐

Did you get to work today?

I'm so over mine, I just can't do it all really, it's so hard when I resent most of it. I'm sure they all had a meeting to send me everything urgent all at once. Why are people so bl00dy disorganised? How do they get out of bed?

Gosh I need a change from this :pile_of_poo: all round.

If only I had wings...

Love and hugs dear friend. Please take care x

Hello beautiful @NatureLover

I'm sorry I was so negative yesterday I don't want to worry you or bring you down. I'm ok.

My boy brought her here last night, unannounced, late. I was in bed thank goodness! Was in shock and not looking forward to seeing my boy this morning.

On the roller coaster ride, no choice but to hold on. Please forgive me if I'm not as present. I love hearing from you and what you are up toif you feel up to it. It's actually the highlight of my day 🙏💚✔️⭐💛🌳

@NatureLover

My dear friend, please never worry about "being negative" or things like that. That's what this place is for! To offload and get support for the hard things in life. And I didn't take it as being negative anyway. @Anastasia I actually didn't get a notification for either of your posts 😞 But am shocked that your boy brought the toxic girl home, oh my gosh how confronting for you 😮

There is no pressure at all to 'be present'...you have so much on your plate, I really feel for you.

Yes, I got to work and it was a really good day. I am so lucky that the people I work with are all so lovely. Plus I feel useful at work.

I'm so sorry your workplace isn't like that. 😞 And that they sent you all the urgent things at once. 😞 I am crossing fingers for your scholarship application to be successful... I hope today is a better day at work for you.

I have a real battle on my hands - haha, literally! My Excoriation Disorder is bad and my hands and lower arms have lots of raw sores that I've scratched...I'm trying to get them to heal up, but it's hard as scratching is helping me to get through. I want them to heal up for some social events coming up including my brother's visit, plus it's embarrassing at work too. I cover the sores with a band-aid or with cover-up makeup at work. I just wanted to share that battle with you. It's not for you to worry about though! It's supposedly under my control, although it's an addiction so very hard to control.

So kind of you to say this...that means a lot. But it's also a worry as it means your days are full of trouble 💔

Beautiful sun this morning and next up is a long walk for me - I mean long in time, I never go far. I had been planning to get some wire to protect my rose bush in a large pot, which is being eaten by possums, but I forgot today is a public holiday here. I'll buy the wire tomorrow. The roses planted already in this garden are starting to flower 🙂

Please never think you'll bring me down - you couldn't do that. As you know, I prefer to send accurate wishes to the Universe and to know how you're really doing.

Sending lots of ☕ ☕ ☕ , hugs and 💚 for you.

Dear precious friends @NatureLover @Anastasia

Dropping by with a bundle of love for you both and hoping today is a whole lot better.

You are such beautiful people.

💜🤗💜🤗💜🤗💜🤗💜
