Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope@CheerBear

I woke to a phone call today telling me my appointment tomorrow with the psychologist was postponed for a week. I didn’t take that too well but am getting over it a bit now. I missed my appointment with my therapist but that’s ok. I am on holding pattern :face_with_rolling_eyes:. @Faith-and-Hope I suspect after years of being in holding patter you are way ahead of the curve on this one. 

 

@CheerBear How are you going? You’ve been quiet too. Did friend end up coming over? 

 

Im trying to pull myself together as I took antihistamines last night that knock me out but I did sleep and slept well. I’m only just finding human now but feel like I could sleep another 10 hours. I have a whingey dog next to me and it’s raining here so he’ll have to whinge a bit longer until I can go to the park with him. 

Re: Just checking in.

Oh @Teej I'm sorry to hear that you have another week ahead with this one. So disappointed for you. That would have seriously thrown me and I really don't think I would have taken it well either.

It's been a busy day and I'm heading out with the crew for a couple of hours now but I wanted to send hugs before I go. I'll try and come by when I'm home again.

❤❤❤

Re: Just checking in.

Yeah @Teej .... holding patterns really suck .....

The only answer I have is to keep busy with (positive) other stuff and “have a day” ..... each day ..... 

Get up in the morning and sketch in a day ..... make bed ..... eat something .... wash something .... fold something .... clean something ..... go shopping for that night’s diner stuff (gets you out of the house) ..... run an errand while you’re out .... come home and cook .... throw a shower in there somewhere ......

If you’re having an okay day, do something for you - but a new plant, go for a walk, have a coffee out, call a friend.

Just keep having a day and ignore the problem that’s on hold as much as you can while you can’t do anything about it anyway.

Hugs n hugs @Teej ❤️

She might have worked out that she’s only got half of the story and is going back to the drawing board.

@Shaz51 Adorable! I just love koalas 😄 xxx

Re: Just checking in.

Hi @Bunniekins so nice to hear from you.
Hope you are well and I adore koalas too. Take care. Best wishes to you and yours. Bimby2.

Re: Just checking in.

Hey @Teej. Thinking you may be sleeping but thought I'd say hi. Late night out for us. Wish I could say what we were up to but I can't.

I hope your afternoon and evening have been OK enough. Wondering whether you have any plans for tomorrow now what you had on has changed?

💗 thinking of you

Re: Just checking in.

Hi @CheerBear

I’m having a nest day today. Feeling a little cheated. I had a friend message me to see if I would like to go to a movie today and I passed because of the appointment 😬. However I’m not sure I’d be up for it either. 

What is your day shaping up like? 

Re: Just checking in.

@Bimby2 Hi Bimby2 hoping you are doing well and are in a happy place 🙂 Thank you I am doing much better particularly with my Sane friends who sit beside me. Love gp xxxx

 

ps: Yes koalas are just to gorgeous 😛

Re: Just checking in.

Nest days can be good days @Teej. Not sure what it's like weather wise for you but it's cold grey and rainy here. Nesty weather.

I'm not feeling so great today. I woke way too early with a flood of should have, could have, must do, want to do etc. None of the things were doable at the time I woke up so I did a bunch of 'must do something' things that have left me tired. I've just finished an appointment with my new MH worker which was tricky. Lots of prompting me to talk about hopes and dreams and goals which kind of feel further away than they've maybe ever felt. I got stuck in how much I want to be able to get over everything right now (how much I wanted to be over it about 5 seconds after it happened but here I am nearly two years on) and how much I wish I was how I used to be not how I am now, mode. I feel pretty sad today and have lots of this is all a bit too hard for me today happening.

I also have my mattress on the ground after a run and jump out of bed when I felt sick the other day broke the end support pole of my bed frame, so I probably need to at least start looking at replacing that. Disassembling my bed was one of the brilliant ideas banana brain had at silly o'clock this morning, which I now wish it hadn't had 😏 That will be what I will try and do between now and school pick up.

I hope your nest day feels good for you. I'm sorry you're stuck waiting. It's hard.
