Just checking in.

Hi @CheerBear good to see you about. How are you travelling?

Hi to @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member too. Wishing you well today.

[CheerBear]

Morning @frog 😊 Great to see you too!

I'm going well thanks. I am just over two weeks out from my stay in a recovery centre and found it so helpful to be there. While I was there I dealt with a couple of things I was struggling big time with and managed to fill up the tank enough to give me what I need to keep going with the rest (at least for a while I think/hope 🤞). It was definitely the reset and recharge that I needed ☺

How are you going? I read your daily goals. I can find it really hard to put myself first sometimes and get to the end of the day feeling too tired and spent to do much of anything for me, as I read you experience too. I love what you have planned for today. I think many of us know that important 'putting on the oxygen mask on ourselves first' thing, but it's so hard to do sometimes especially with family to care for!

I really today is one for you that feels and is good for you!

Thanks @CheerBear Good to hear of your refresh/reset. It's vital. I took 2 days off work last week for a mini reset, though it's often hard to make the space I need.

Enjoy today.

Morning @frog @CheerBear 👋💕

Hey there @Faith-and-Hope 😊 Catching little bits every now and then of how you're going and what you're up to. You've been busy. I hope today is a good one for you too ❤

[CheerBear]

Morning @Teej - I noticed you were around a moment ago and wanted to say hi. Often thinking of you and catching little bits of where you're at when I can. Hoping today is one of the better ones for you 💗

Hiya @CheerBear,

im in this weird headspace of not knowing where to be on the forum again and what to say when I am. Thanks for the shout out. Sometimes it helps to get me out of my strange little headspace. It sounds like you have a busy day. I hope it goes well. 

I have more of my assessment this morning. It’s been a really big head f thing for me but I think I need to do this. She is more direct than I’ve had before and I already know I’m going to hate her at times (not really but I think she’s going to take me places that cause lots of discomfort). I think if I’m to become unstuck I’ll need this but it’s frightening too. The hardest part is not knowing if I’ll be accepted to do the therapy with her. I won’t know until the end of the assessment. 

Well that’s my rave. Hoping to hold it together today. Best wishes for today. 💜🤗

Big hugs @Teej. Sensing you may have been in that headspace a little. I like the idea of this thread as a bit of a go to when other places maybe don't feel so go to-able for whatever reason. I feel it sometimes too.

Hearing how hard this assessment has been for you in a few ways. I think you're doing really well to keep at it and it sounds like somewhere inside you believe it will be for the best. I can totally get the fear of going through it only to not be accepted. Scary. How long do you have left?

I'm looking forward to a quietish (by my usual days at the moment) day. Orange is the New Black is out today. Super excited to get into that at some stage soon!

Hope it goes well today for you today and will be thinking of you. Not sure if you saw the highlight thread - if you get a chance there's a moment I had yesterday that maybe will give you a teeny little smile too ❤

[Teej]

That’s great that you have an unwind day and something to look forward to @CheerBear.

i have another two to three sessions to get through. I’m hoping by the end of next week I’ll know.

thanks for sharing that, it really did bring a smile and a feel good. 

Best if I get going and get myself ready to implode at this mornings session 😱😳. It will be ok I hope. It feels like it may be helpful or I wouldn’t put myself through this.

will try to put my big girls pants on and respond on the challenge thread after. Thanks again for a quiet corner to help me get back some confidence. I really appreciate you being around.💜🤗

[Teej]

My turn @CheerBear. You ok? Here listening if you need to get something off your chest (just realised that’s another crazy saying). It’s ok not to as well. Hoping the LF are not causing too much grief on this cold Sunday. 💜🤗
