    I love that there's a countdown to autumn @StarryEyed 😂 It looks like it's going to start cooling down over the next few days so hopefully we'll feel more comfortable.

    Hi Rachel! 😊 It's a countdown app I use for various reasons. You can tailor make it to appear as you wish. The only downside is you can't choose the time zone. Here it is, in case you or anyone else is interested...

    I've been waiting all afternoon for a bath but the staff are "busy"! I wouldn't mind but one of the reasons I live here is because I can't run my own baths.

    There may not be a shower available @SwiftFox. Did they say when they will be free to help you @SheffieldMan1976?

    I had a bath this afternoon.

    @SwiftFox I hate showers, always have, always will.

    I really hope this is the last silly hot night 😓

    32C at 8pm is too much.

    Fed up to the back teeth, wish I knew when I was last pain free, exhausted, not always be on edge, not get angry when someone is playing music outside of the window, or always feeling like I have failed and let people down. I am 43 but feel more like 93, just sick and tired of having to fight and keep having obstacles chucked in my way.I always just want to close the blinds, keep the door locked, turn the phone off and want to give up trying at all. I have no quality of life, so what is the point…..

    Hi @Rag_793. Sounds like a heavy place you're in. Maybe it's healthy to feel unhealthy in unhealthy situations. Maybe it's okay to fall apart in unhealthy situations. Maybe it's healthy to make space for difficult feelings and thoughts, and to give them a voice, to make them part of your reality.

    Feelings and thoughts can change so quickly. Our circumstances can too. Life is often like an insane rollercoaster ride with those changes. Sometimes it can be so tempting to jump off the rollercoaster. Or alternatively rest from the ride. Slow it down and rest. Let the thoughts simmer down and the emotions. Breathe. Close your eyes. Let the fire out your nostrils and ears and mouth. Have you got some earbuds or a headset? I love listening to this track of bilateral music to slow me down (which requires a headset or earbuds). I'm going to listen to it now to send you gentle vibes. Maybe you'd like to listen to it too?

    ❤️

    This is 'The Wishing Well"...

    I feel the same mate, I'm 50 and feel like I'm 70+, not being able to get a job doesn't help, nor does still being single with no hope of that ever changing at my age…

    My grumble today is that I love a cold beer on a hot day, but half an hour later the alcohol in the beer makes me sweat buckets. So it's a no-win situation. 😫 🥵

    To all of you struggling out there....

    I finally managed to get a bit of independence by buying a power chair that I can use on the bus and start going to the pool to get some exercise and have some time when nothing hurts then I find out that I have a heart condition and the pressure from the water is worsening my breathing:(

    How do you find getting on and off a bus? I have only used the train so far. I don't like the idea of trying to remain in my chair, as the bus goes around corners.
