All good @TAB these government services aren't properly co-ordinated, its almost impossible for them to get their services go right.  Enjoy your rest. I am in Victoria so am several hours ahead of you so its almost lunchtime.

Hey @Former-Member  hey @TAB 

I'm okay - just been low on energy and motivation and mood a bit - all okay, recharging and healing 👍

Bit slower than usual though which is a little annoying in terms of cognitive function (vs my base level) but doing art and trying not to hide under the covers in bed all day 👍

How about you guys? 🌸🌸

Shambolic it is @TAB!!! I'm just trying to install more aircon. I was given a gov't subsidy for a unit for my room I now have to come up with money for the livingroom.  Dealing with shonky tradespeople trying to sell me top end aircon that I don't need and Kogan (online electrical goods supplier) providing misleading discounts.  I think I'll wait until the end of the month!

Hello the lovely @ArtistZ so sorry you have been under the weather with your mood etc. Is it depression again?  I think so. I know how you must be feeling. Its hard to motivate yourself to do anything when you are bearing under the weight of bipolar.  Thank God for art. It will bring you out of yourself and give you some pleasant stimulus.  Are you taking adequate self care like regular sleeping and eating habits?  Its hard taking good care of ourselves while in a trough.

I use magnesium oil to pull myself out of highs/lows, you can google it - people have got lots of relief with it, myself included.  Its been a saving grace for me over the years.  You just apply the oil to your skin and the uptake is greater than oral supplementation. You can not overdo as the body only absorbs through the skin what it needs.  Its pulled me both out of depression and mania when my tablets could not entirely do their job.

Anyway sweetie missed you presence on here, thought something may have been wrong, you look after yourself OK? Sending much love to you and hope you feel on top of your game soon xxoo

@TAB I had to buy a new phone from somewhere at the start of this year and got a basic burner phone (dumb phone) from Kogan as I don't want to participate with advancing technology for many reasons. Just got the cheapest plan - save heaps $$$ Its been a great phone so far much better than getting one through Vodaphone LOL
