Hi @Faith-and-Hope hope you are having a good day. ❤️❤️

@Faith-and-Hope @BlueBay @outlander @Appleblossom @Owlunar @Snowie @Sans911 @Teej @CheerBear and all who pass through...

I dragged myself out of the house and made it to the pool - I am pleased that I did - it was a shorter session today for me but the time I was there was enough. I also made it to the chemist so I don't have to do that tomorrow. Still feeling exhausted and pretty low but getting by - the pool was a huge win for  me. 

It is very windy here today so that is not helping my mood - but on the plus side it is a good drying day so my washing will get dry from yesterday - all baby steps!

Going to snuggle in with Toby for the afternoon and try to recover a little - still feeling unwell so doing nothing this afternoon is probably the best idea anyway!

Well done! @Zoe7 that is great. You accomplished 2 things today and the pool was a big step despite your mood atm. Very well done.
Snuggling Toby sounds like a good idea. Maybe some sports are on the tv too for you to watch..

[Zoe7]

There is no sport on atm to watch @outlander but I have a couple of series I have recorded that I may be able to watch a little later - not in the mood for it right now.

Sometimes we have to know our limitiations as well as our strengths and today I don't have much strength left ...so Toby cuddles will do!

How are you going today?

[outlander]

Thats ok im sure youll find something restful to watch or do even if its nothing (as in just laying/sitting and resting) while snuggling Toby. I dont think he minds how much/little strength you have as long as you give him attention lol.

Im not good so doing my best to cope. I braved the phone today and rung the gp practice and made an appt with the gp thst was reccomended to me. I see her next wednesday. Feeling im way to much in the deep end now to avoid it much more.
Need to have a convo this arvo with mum but im not sure yet ill see what mood she is in its not mh related so it should be alright.

Well done for finally ringing up and making that appointment with the gp @outlander - I know you were procrastinating over that one but hopefully now you will be able to get some more support - that phone call was the first step.

I hope the talk with your mum goes ok - not easy to have those conversations when you know it is going to be tricky (presuming it is a tricky conversation here a little because you haven't said what it is about)

[outlander]

The phone call or making the appt is usually the hardest @Zoe7 can breathe just abit now that is done and also made an appt with someone else in the same office (they have a few different services in there) so was getting 2 things done at once.
It is a tricky convo. I cant quite say what it is though just one of those things i cant talk about here. Its harder because it wont just involve/affect me so have had to think very carefully and need to time it right cause if mums in a bad mood she isnt going to react the same. Will see how it goes this arvo but it cant wait if need be.

[outlander]

Can wait not cant wait. Sorry fat fingers today

Woo-hoo @Zoe7 ...... so well done getting to the pool ..... ❣️

Drawing class was difficult and frustrating.   They were extremely complex modern buildings we were given to do, with perspectives going everywhere, and our class was disrupted with an evacuation fire drill .....  so our drawings didn’t get finished either.

Hi @BlueBay .... 👋💕
