They need all our feedback for the higher powers as to whether there will be another group @tyme our group was the first of its kind. It was only open to patients from local health districts…. So not to the public, and only certain types of people.
would be cool if they did other eating disorder groups too. The facilitator is the wider area health’s eating disorder coordinator.

Totally @Bow . But I can see that they would need significant funding for such an intensive program. And as we all know, the 'system' is not exactly loaded with $$$.
I am so fortunate I got accepted into the MBT clinic. That's why, whenever I can, I always want to give back to the community.

Hey @Bow sitting with you
Really glad that you're still able to reach out here even while you're feeling this way.
What support do you feel like you need right now?

I did groceries this morning. I don’t like doing them @Ru-bee
Then I went to group. First time I’ve been to Monday group. Just board games and chat. I sat and watched.
crashed fast and hard this arvo 😩

Good on you for doing both of those @Bow
Grocery shopping can be so draining. I need to go but I'm trying to stretch it as far as I can...Think I'll be having frozen pizza with a side of broccolini tonight cause that's about all I've got for dinner at the moment.
Sitting and watching at the Monday group sounds like it was a great first step, just dipping your toe in and finding your feet a bit.
Do you feel like pushing yourself to do both of these brought on the crash this afternoon?

Ah, okay @Bow
Are you able to bundle yourself up under a nice blanket, maybe cuddle with Groot or one of the kittens? Anything that might feel soothing and safe
