Morning has broken

[Snowie]

Can understand the no appetite @creative_writer I have that too

Maybe even just a snack, something that is quick and easy to make.

You are not alone hon, we are here with you.

Chrissy brought back lots of issues. Will be glad when this whole holiday period is over.

yes, more ect tomorrow @Snowie finishing Friday week. I think it’s starting to help. 🩵💜🩵

Hi @creative_writer I hope you’re doing ok.

[creative_writer]

@Snowie I know I should keep up the regular meal thing, especially with migraines. But it is hard. My dad is wrapping up a meal, maybe I’ll have a bit of that.

It means a lot to have the forums. If only I was better at reaching out for support outside of the forums. I dread Lifeline waits, and I don’t always know whether it’ll help or make me feel worse. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are amazing volunteers on lifeline, and they are trained well. They don’t specialise in complex mental health like SANE does, so it’s not their fault. I don’t like burdening my friends and can’t really talk to family.

Holiday period can certainly bring back a lot. I hope you are able to take some time for yourself 💖

@Eve7 I hope the ECT continues to help 💖

I’m not the best with my physical and mental health rn. I probably need rest, this viral thing is exhausting.

[Eve7]

Im sorry you have a virus @creative_writer that is not good. Please take care hon.

[Snowie]

@Eve7 I'm glad you think it's starting to help. Perhaps there is a bit of light there. I really hope it does help. I know how much it takes to go through this. You really are brave in trusting the process.

@creative_writer I struggle too with the regular meals. It's hard to cook when you don't feel like eating. Tea tonight was biscuits and dip!!

I find it hard to reach out too. Bit the same with life line. Sometimes I think it really helps and then other times I feel just the same. It's hard too when there is a time limit. Outside of my supports I only have Sane.

[Eve7]

This has been a really hard couple of weeks @Snowie  and I am not brave but thanks for the support. 💜

[Snowie]

Well I think you are brave @Eve7 You could have given up after the first week but you didn't. You stuck it out.

I know it's been really hard for you, especially since it's been the holiday period too.

I just hope your family has been understanding.

@Eve7 sending you lots of hugs and love. You are braver than you think. Battling complex mental health struggles is very hard 💖

Usually I’m better with meals, but today just been worse. I’m not one of those people who naturally have a decent appetite, I run better on smaller meals spaced apart. I do have a sensitive gut, I can’t do lots of processed food and sweets.

I have my pdoc, I am currently looking for a psych, shortlisted a few, but have to wait until new year to contact. Finished up Guided Service and found it helpful. Might need to ask my dad about covering costs of psych. I know there have free services too, but you get less choice. My needs are complex too

@creative_writer @Eve7 

Have to go, can't say on here

I hope both of you have a good night and tomorrow goes well for you

Take care, love to you both 💗
