Hey @ENKELI @Glisten @rav3n @Oaktree @Shaz51 @Jynx 

@tyme @Louie333 

So gloss❤️ @Glisten well I'm just having the normal boring gall bladder issues. My gall bladder is full of stones but hospital sent me home with strict instructions to call and 🚑 ambulance if I get the symptoms that another stones fallen out. 

So they pulled out 2 stones and lots of dirt. Put a stent in. 

This is a normal operation that over middle age women and some men need. 

I'm resting at home till Friday...

@PeppyPatti I had my gallbladder removed 2021. 4.2cm gallstone.

My daughter had her gallbladder removed last year.

Did you get a new belly button?

@Mustang67 

I'm wondering what would help -- if you get yourself a little saying if things get too overwhelming?

"This too shall pass"

"Stay safe, stay kind."

Would this be something that would fit you ? 

@Spirit_Healer sure that others will agree to go with your gut hey 🦜

@PeppyPatti sorry to hear things have gone downhill. 

I was thinking of your question a few pages back about distractions for overwhelm.

It comes down to what your need: 

Let me introduce you to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs 

It's a treasure chest of psychology gold in my humble opinlion! The things you learn at school from your favourite teachers 😉

@MJG017 I think you'd like this, too. 

@Shaz51 @Glisten @Oaktree @ENKELI @Jynx @Ru-bee @rav3n @BPDSurvivor @and all the intellectuals reading this!

@Shaz51 

Christmas is going to suck this year. My grandpa died earlier this year so the family just keeps shrinking and shrinking. Another family member has decided they are going to do something else this year at Christmas. I already want the season over.

I barely have any friends and I am not in a relationship so I already feel incredibly lonely, I have spent Christmas in hospital before so I worry that will happen again.

Sorry to be depressing, I dont have anything else to offer.

@TheRenegade345 

Sending you lots of understanding hugs my friend 🧡 as my mum died  this year and I won't see any of my family members for Christmas 

My husband and 2 step children will be here but it will be different 

Maybe doing something nice for yourself 

Have you any furbabies 

What movies do you like. ? Music ? Hobbies do you have ?

Hello 😊 @Spirit_Healer , @PeppyPatti , @Glisten 

[Spirit_Healer]

Good morning @Shaz51 .

Just having breakfast with Dad and explaining that he is an ambivert and what it all means. He's taking it as the biggest compliment!

Mum's just left for work.

@Shaz51 

I am sorry to hear about your mum passing away. I can understand it will be hard to get through Christmas this year.

I do a lot of nice things all the time for myself. I just feel like it's not enough anymore. I am actually dreading Christmas this year, it is going to be terrible.

I do have a 7 year old Jack Russell named Rosie. I do play guitar and I write my own music.

Good morning @PeppyPatti I have This too shall pass tattooed on my arm. But I don't look at it often enough. 

I am feeling a bit defeated this morning.  I have chronic bad pain and I am finally in a place where I am ready to go back to my physio and do the exercises that she gives me, and then I woke up with diarrhoea. 

Do you ever get that feeling that the forces are working against you instead of with you 🤔
