    Quiet day to say the least, didn’t wake up until nearly 11. Not been sleeping as much the past week, even taking antidepressants hasn’t helped the old insomnia. Just resting up but contemplating how much stuff I’ve got to do, washing, full flat clean and two planters to wallop and plant up. Then chuck in gp appointment, fluovid jabs and maybe a trip to the cinema. I’ve just buried my old swede in the sand since late September and let things get on top of me again.

    Sorry you're feeling so down @Catherine21. Grief never runs in a straight line does it, it's horrible. You can get triggered off by all sorts of things and it's no wonder you're not feeling good after what's happened with the psychologist. Hope things start feeling easier for you soon 💛

    Sounds like a busy week ahead @Zippy1983. What are you planning to see at the cinema if you get round to it?

    I hate it when a nap robs you of your night time sleep @Schildpad. Hope you can have a better night tonight and wake up feeling more rested.

    We chat about the tough stuff as well as the happy stuff. Lots of people have tough stuff to deal with at the moment, and that's always welcome here. We do also have the Mental Health discussion if anyone wants to join there. But if people are having rough days it's nice to get some support going on ☺️

    I've popped you a message @Catherine21 💜

    Just as a reminder for everyone, one of the big pillars of our our House Rules is being supportive to others. Please take a moment before posting to think about whether your post might be upsetting to someone who's going through a hard time.

    Many of our members have a lot to deal with and we want to be there for both the good times and the bad.

    I am sorry for your pain, Catherine. We haven't met yet on this forum, I am thinking, but it can indeed be difficult when people seemingly turn towards joy and repress the sorrow. However, life is both, ain't it? Could be an interesting topic to pursue, if there wasn't so much shame and such around difficult subjects. What is it that things often need to look Instagrammable?

    Hang in there.

    Still I Rise…By Maya AngelouYou may write me down in history
    With your bitter, twisted lies,
    You may trod me in the very dirt
    But still, like dust, I'll rise.

    Does my sassiness upset you?
    Why are you beset with gloom?
    ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
    Pumping in my living room.

    Just like moons and like suns,
    With the certainty of tides,
    Just like hopes springing high,
    Still I'll rise.

    Did you want to see me broken?
    Bowed head and lowered eyes?
    Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
    Weakened by my soulful cries?

    Does my haughtiness offend you?
    Don't you take it awful hard
    ’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
    Diggin’ in my own backyard.

    You may shoot me with your words,
    You may cut me with your eyes,
    You may kill me with your hatefulness,
    But still, like air, I’ll rise.

    Does my sexiness upset you?
    Does it come as a surprise
    That I dance like I've got diamonds
    At the meeting of my thighs?

    Out of the huts of history’s shame
    I rise
    Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
    I rise
    I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
    Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

    Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
    I rise
    Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
    I rise
    Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
    I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
    I rise
    I rise
    I rise.
