    Good morning everyone was hoping it may be cooler today 😎 but woke up to the weather report saying its going to be very hot again today. I went to bed about 4am I woke a couple of times during my 5 hours sleep time, my cpap mask needs replacing so im not getting any quality sleep. I need to call the hospital to get a new mask. My poor dog and cat are suffering even with the fans on. Im going to give my dog a wash down today, hopefully he may feel a bit more comfortable. My cat hates water so im not going to be able to cool her off.

    I hope that everyone who is

    struggling will get a better weekend. It's hard for so many of us in this current climate. Sending you all virtual 🫂 . Be kind to yourselves. You deserve to be feeling better.

    I hear you both and unless anyone suffered from anxiety they would never understand what I've started doing is mantras in my head trying to challenge the anxiety trying to catch myself before I fall so hard when brain wired differently from society so so hard seems impossible but it's not the brain is such a powerful tool we can't live in the past and we can't predict the future all we can do is in the moment I've given my whole life to mental health failed at mostly everything in the structure of this invisible prison but I've come to the conclusion that life will take its course I've isolated myself in a protective bubble that has burst and I will take things as they come I have no choice the only way is day by day and being kind to yourself I get caught in a loop and I'm so cruel to myself the anxiety and depression is crippling but I'm asking you both for today look at the good things you done it could be making a cup of tea putting the bin out could be many things acknowledge this because when you feel this way everything seems impossible pls be kind to yourselves you both deserve peace give yourselves permission to feel this I'm sending my support I hope you have peaceful day

    Its another beautiful sunny day here and I feel good but exhausted. I am going to a country pub this evening on the moors.

    I live by the sea but it's so nice to venture into the country side and enjoy the beautiful villages that tend to be much quieter this time of the year.

    @Catherine21 great words, all I can add is that I agree 👍

    @Grumpy1314 is "BPD" short for bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder - now called emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD)? I was diagnosed with EUPD shortly after the name changed because the change also affected the criteria. I was used as a case-in-point because apparently borderline personality disorder was diagnosed partly through negative behaviours toward others and EUPD reflects that somebody can be, say, angry or abusive, towards themselves but not toward others, which is me. Like I think things about myself that I'd never think of someone else…stuff that if you did to say to another person you'd get arrested. 😆 That kinda sounds a bit like you like self-critical and stuff?

    It's like there's 2 extremes, one where you think the world and everyone is at fault and you go super defensive even aggressive…then the other is more insular where you think you're to blame, even if someone is at fault like is rude to you, you just conclude it's because you deserved it

    Not trying to diagnose anything just find it interesting to share with someone who potentially has similar stuff

    Its so beautiful.

    I can't walk very far but I enjoy the scenery on the car journey and sitting in a nice beer garden.

    It's always nice getting out there, even if you cant do too much @luvpink. I do love just sitting and watching the outside world do its thing. 😊

    I'm hoping I'll be able to join sis and the dogs for a trip to the park tomorrow, I've been out of action since May. 😅

    @Albus_Scope

    I am blessed living by the sea and close to the beautiful countryside.

    People pay a lot of money to holiday here and the amount of tourists does impact our lives negatively during the holiday season but its lovely once things get less busy.

    Coastal town here too, but i seldom take my dog to the front, much more likely to be found landward. Wildlife trumps people i find!

    I read online a new murderous type of wasp is here with nests the size of space hoppers

    I am. Absolutely terrified of them and this fills, me with great more anxiety

    Are you referring to the Japanese Giant Hornet? They are a problem for our native bees, certainly.

    I think you may have been reading some clickbait articles there @Amberpearl Warmer weather will mean it's better living conditions for all insects. They're exactly the same wasps as last year, they've just been able to make bigger nests this year, that's all.

    Just don't go around trying to slap them and all will be fine. 😁

    I have been feeling eager today thinking about some daytrips and time out in other towns basically now equally feeling the heat and migraines and what not. what’s on my mind is the PIP payment date of 26th august just seeing the Summer Bank Holiday and want to ask if payment would be the 22nd instead exactly
