My Place

Re: My Place

Yes @tyme 

I had a surgical lap band put in - in 2005. Lost a lot of weight but quickly put it all on again due to depression. 

Re: My Place

Ah, makes sense. I think they've moved on from lap banding now and gastric bypasses are in. But only for extreme medical cases @Oaktree 

 

I hope it all works out for you. 

 

Depression is a strange thing. Whenever I have a 'down' period, I lose my appetite altogether. I'm mindful it is the opposite for others. 

Re: My Place

Hi @tyme 

 

I am struggling with memories of the past today.

How are you going?

How is Ruby?

Re: My Place

Sitting with you @Oaktree . I'm here if you need a chat or some company 🙂

 

Ruby's okay. She's just being a dog...chewing everything up.

Re: My Place

@tyme 

 

Hopefully Ruby doesn’t get too bored and tear apart your sofa or something like that. See that on YouTube all the time.

Re: My Place

She's got people at home with her all the time. She spends time outside, inside, going for walks @Oaktree

I am doing a combination of distraction and tackling the problem. I am listening to my Happy playlist on Spotify while writing down how I feel about my Mother.

Thinking of you @Oaktree 

Re: My Place

Hey @Oaktree , I wanted to check in with you to make sure you are okay. I'm mindful of the cyclone in WA... I hope you are okay...

 

Please know I'm thinking of you.

Re: My Place

Hey @tyme 

 

I just messaged you in 2025 - study group 

 

The cyclone is up north, nowhere near me for the time being. Thanks for thinking of me though.
