Re: A long rave

Hi @eth 

 

While we are having the cold and bleakies in Melbourne you have the hot and windies wherever you are - really - it is true that human beings are only comfortable in a very section of weather possibilities

 

I think you like my snow-pic too - imagine a few days in Sydney out on the habour in ferries then flying back to Melbourne across the highlands - that was a huge surprise for me that day - not one I will ever forget

 

I didn't make it to the Friday Feast - I was really tired an went to sleep watching TV - I hope I recorded some of it but I ate even if I didn't get to an on-line social event - I had bacon, fried egg, tomato - a bit of a change and so yummy. I got salad vegetables at the supermarket yeserday - it's definitely a time to change to a summer diet

 

All the best Eth

Hi @Owlunar, thanks for the thoughtful reply. Sorry to hear you're dealing with hayfever too. Here it's hot and windy, which is the worst for hayfever.

 

I saw my Dr. He's given me some suggestions for coping with the SH and is going to chat with my pdocs. Although I'm struggling, I'm lucky to have 3 great MH professionals working together to help. I just need to keep working on it and not give up 💜

 

Hope you have a lovely weekend 


HI again @Molliex 

 

I tend to start at the stop of the notifications and work down - maybe it's not the most best way of doing it so I missed this post ealier

 

Yes - hayfever is exhausting - a cold comes and stays and goes away - and that's the story but hayfever comes and goes and comes and goes and weeks can pass and we are always explaining to other people who have the same issue - it seems - hayfever is more socially acceptable than a bad cold or worse - the flu - but it can go on for so long.................... 0_l_]] - we often end up being totalled

 

I am really glad to hear you have a team of 3 MH professionals - that is excellent news - I have to say I have been very lucky when it has come to supportive professional people in my life - it makes a huge difference - we can work well with helpful people

 

The new psychologist I saw last week was like that - she is very enthusiastic and really feeds back that she has heard what I said - she will write a supportive report for the new pain specialist when I see him

 

Yes - it is stressful changing pain specialists but there are professionals out there who are less that user-friendly so it is encouraging to me to hear you have a good team

 

Keep up the good work Molliex - I am thrilled that you have joined the forum - you are very supportive with your posts

Re: A long rave

Hi @eth  thanks for your kind mention in A long rave.  I am finding today a bit overwhelming with emotion that is difficult to work out the source.  Not sure what has led to it dont know why i feel so sh...

Always had that empathy thing ,like the song says "i feel the pain of everyone......' . That is literally how it feels from anger, sadness, and a lot in between.  Learned how to work out what belongs to me and learned a clearing exercise to clear out what is not mine.  Sometimes though i stuff up and get swept up in it.  Stupidly i joined a dating site and got a kick out of views and messages.  When i then followed with irl dates it was really underwhelming.  We all have needs but i felt most people online just wanted to get physical and i felt like a piece of meat.  Did meet and chat to people who seemed nice but it is hard to tell.  Decided 2 cancel my subscription and maybe find groups with interests to join to meet friends or well... Not going to mince words find those who make life better and maybe physical.  I am getting too old to ignore the time i have left and i dont want to waste my time with tyre kickers.  Either get on in or go home sucker.  Some of the guys i met found me to be confronting and there were some steamy chats and dates.  But got really bored, have a low boredom threshhold.  So guessing the emotion may be frustration or such like.

Anyway my community who have needs (those who are also me) decided we will move on and although we wont online date we may carefully seek what we need in safer climes.  Who knew that complex mental health could also be trouble with getting intimate :).

So i think i better guard my craaazy self better but who knows it still may work out, i hope.  And of course hear i lose my train of thought.  Must be going through a tunnel.  My daughter says i use humour as a cover when im upset.  Shes probably right.

Cant change my CMH but just trying to get some fun and not hide as much.  Trouble is i dont feel as in control of the community when i am with other people, but still a work in progress.  Startng today i found a profile picture of one of my fav heros (calling her a heroine demeans her) wonder woman and i aim to treat my life now as she would a villain, head on.

Re: A long rave

Good morning to all here today.  A quiet and cool start here but heading to the farmers market in a while - will probably be a crowd there by the time we are.  

 

@Appleblossom  replying to your last post to me on SS yesterday - I didn't make it back there after sil and her mum came home.  Sat out by the pool with cheese, crackers and a bottle of white with them.  It's been a huge few weeks since their family member died and now that funeral and memorial service and sorting out the person's home and papers etc have happened they can slow down and have some peace.

Really glad you enjoyed the Ry Cooder.  I'm starting my day with him today.

 

I love what you said about it being music when conversations flow.

Re: A long rave

Hi @cutiepiekitty good on you for 20 laps at the pool.  I wouldn't be able to do that, but I do go to a water tai chi class in a hydrotherapy pool twice a week.  Exercising in water is so good for us.  I also have problems that mean many other forms of exercise are impossible for me.  

Hope your appointment goes well on Monday.  For that sort of therapy I sometimes write a list of things I want to talk about, and sometimes have even handed my list to my psychologist or doctor when I walk in.  Whenever I've done that they've thanked me and discussion has really stayed on track and been effective.

Re: A long rave

Thanks @eth
