Just checking in.

Still cold here but expected to be around 16 so much warmer than where you are heading - brrr!

Off to sleep for a little while now @CheerBear Have a great day Hon

Morning @CheerBear , @Faith-and-Hope , @Zoe7 and all passing through. 

I had a really good sleep in the end too. I had taken sleeping meds that I didn’t think had worked but once they hit I crashed. 

So so good to read about those things you are doing that are giving you that challenge and sense of purpose. I did have a chuckle that your psych added more in. 

I haven’t worked out what I’ll do yet today having just woken up. I have no milk left for coffee 😱 so I’m guessing that is the first thing to do. 

I hope everyones day is ok.

Really pleased that you had a good sleep @Teej Much like you I don't have any more plans for today but housework and footy watching. Already been to the market with my sister and will go back next Saturday to get a couple of things - one for my sister and another thing for me if I can afford it. It is my sister's birthday next week so at least I have an idea of something to get for her - it is only small so I will need to think of something else to get her during the week. I know she doesn't expect much as she knows I can't afford it - but it is the thought that counts 

Hope you find things to fill your day and that whatever you do gives you some joy @Teej

Happy Mother’s day to anyone passing through. I know like any celebratory days it’s a hard day for some. I also know many , many mums who deserve to be celebrated today (and everyday really) 

I feel a bit awkward doing this but.....just also want to acknowledge @CheerBear, @Faith-and-Hope as I’ve followed their motherhood journeys for a while. I hope you are both celebrated today for all the mum things you do. Happy Mother’s Day! 💜🤗

Curious to hear how the bear of ??? cheer is going @CheerBear .

my just checking in post. It’s a whingy whiny one :face_with_rolling_eyes:. I wish I could write about lots of it but I’m paranoid about a few things. I have hit the reality stage of property settlement and my brain has decided that mashed over ripe banana brain shall prevail. I’m so scared but holding my own. I am so grateful to have my brother by my side. Not that long ago I would have sh with the events of today. Today I’m trying so hard to keep my big girl pants on and work through this. The elastic hasn’t worn out yet. 

I have a couple of full on days and then hopefully a chance to unwind and do some less stressful things. My therapist goes away this week and I’ll miss two appointments with her but I know I can contact if needed. It’s always nice to know that I can. 

Gif of me swinging and hoping I’ll catch the branch

Or maybe not a gif 😜🤨

Are you ok @CheerBear ? 

Just a check in for you. I know you are really busy with lots as well. Thinking of you and hoping everything is ok. 

@Faith-and-Hope , @Zoe7  I just saw the other day that lj has left the forum. Hoping she is ok too. I’ve often checked to see if she is around for all these months.

Hi @Teej 

Yes, I had noticed that LJ had left the forums a couple of weeks back, but it was not a good time to let a few others know ..... so I have been quietly grieving her absence, hoping that she will feel able to return at some point, or be recovered enough perhaps in her life circumstances to feel that she is moving forward positively.

Knowing that she was still here was a comfort to me personally, even though she wasn’t feeling able to participate actively.

😔💜💐
