    Hey @Grumpy1314 that sounds like a tough time for you, I totally get the need to having someone to just vocalise things to, it can be really hard bottling things up. It's why Samaritans can be great, it's really worth you giving them a call so you can just speak your truth with no judgment. It always helped me when I was stuck in that dark place. Shout are supposed to be really good too. But please, try to keep taking your medication every day as it's really important. Missing even a single dose of antidepressants (and similar) can throw your brain chemistry out of whack really easily, so that wont be helping matters.

    I'll be on shift here all weekend if you need your mind taking off things. Infact hte whole community is here for you 24/7. 😊

    I'm feeling good at the moment.

    The weather here is lovely and I'm going out to meet a friend later and enjoy the sea views.

    @Albus_Scope

    Thank you.

    I am very fatigued but I am going to a social event today where I will be able to sit down.

    I am trying to lead a 'normal' life but its very difficult with health issues.

    I hope you have a good day.

    I totally understand @luvpink it's so easy to "run out of spoons" even if you're feeling great on a particular day. Just take things easy and make sure you have plenty of fun today please. ❀️

    I'm hoping @Grumpy1314 is just busy with some excellent films and shows. But agreed @Bluebell21 we're all around when needed. ❀️

    Hello Grumpy, also thinking of you this Bank Holiday weekend. Please don't stay away! This forum is the main source of support for many of us. I dip in and out depending on my mood.

    I'm very alone with my autism but knowing that somebody occasionally understands me here helps me feel less alone.

    You write with tremendous insight. Remember that we all have to live with the decisions we make in life and we do what we need to do at any given time. I'm sorry you are struggling so much and feel unable to reach your family.

    Sending a virtual hug.

    Also thinking of Agnia and hoping she comes back one day with a new account.

    Hello WhatThe,

    I myself was only thinking of her today and hoping that she is ok as I picked up that she was struggling in recent weeks. Ive not been a member of Scope for long, however, her pictures of her cats brought me joy

    Hi @Grumpy1314 I'm so sorry things are bad at the minute. I don't profess to know all the answers, but for me when I'm down I have to shake myself out of it a bit by doing something I'm not always comfortable with at the time, but that will make me feel better long term like getting out for a little walk. Is there something like that for you that can help you feel a little better?

    I am exhausted and not feeling too good today.

    Exhausted from pain and fatigue.

    Good morning all. I hope you're all feeling ok today? I was up very early and think I've had a little too much coffee this morning, so I'm feeling a little sick now. πŸ™ˆ
