Mental health

Hopefully not much longer. @Nightcity

Good evening @durhamjaide2001 I am sorry you are finding it stressful looking for a new job. Fingers crossed you soon find one you like. Take care.

Goodnight Bluebell, sleep well, take care.

durhamjaide2001 Good luck with the job coach and job hunting x You will find something, just make sure it's right for you because I've often jumped into less than ideal situations out of desperation and it hasn't worked out but has greatly damaged my confidence. Especially under financial pressures we can end up in such rubbish situations - I'm glad you've got your mum and a job coach to help look after you. It's early days in my new job but so far it seems better. But yesterday I got a 'phone call saying my old boss had had a major public success (which he really doesn't deserve) and he'd had one of my favourite animals put down. So Strawberry1 I'm with you on the 'not sleeping' thing! I couldn't let go of it all night, it went round and round in my head like an infection I couldn't get rid of. I was really stuck in one of those awful 'autistic loops' that won't let go and the words are so loud and why is it everything seems sharper and more real in the darkness at night?! I've had to put the radio on to try to engage my head with something else and am trying to keep busy. So 'plod on' is exactly how it is this morning Strawberry1!

Bluebell, thank you so, SO much for thinking of me and EVERYONE here, even when we're not posting. I think it's like talking to someone in a coma - maybe they can still hear you even though they're not engaging? And that's EXACTLY how it is for me, just to read what you write, even to others, is so uplifting because it gives me faith that there ARE decent, nice people out there. Thank you! Enjoy your Sunday dinner 😊

Catherine21 I hope you're soldiering on this morning (with your little hideaway handbag friend! lol). You cheer me up no end!

Agnia my love, are you out there? You've been a little quiet, I hope you're ok. We love you, I like to think this is one 'family' that accepts people and doesn't cause heartache, it's certainly easier to communicate here than with MY family!

BrianMcFaddenFan82, good to have you here - you've had so much sadness to deal with. Really glad you found some early photos to treasure x

Nightcity my old mate, I'm so glad you're there! xx Sorry you're having colitis issues, I think alot of us that struggle with stress will understand the effects it has on the stomach and bowels. It's taken me years to realise that my continued stress levels all my life have actually caused me physical problems and illnesses - I used to think stress was just a mental 'inside your head' thing. It was a secondary kick in the teeth with my autism diagnosis to find how many physical issues I have collected because of the resulting stress. As if we needed any more hurdles! Take care, my good friend, hope you feel a bit better and have a quiet Sunday ❤💚

Good morning everyone.

I hope you managed some sleep last night @Strawberry1 and that you are not to tired to cook your Sunday dinner.

I have missed you too @Agnia and hope you are ok and still watching your Thriller films. Please post when you are ready just to let us know you are ok.

Hi @Nightcity how are you today? I hope your colitis is beginning to ease.

@eeL Thank you you are very kind. Enjoy your dinner will think of you as I prepare mine. Roast chicken today.

@Catherine21 I hope you and your furry friends are doing well today. Take care.

@BrianMcFaddenFan82 We would love to see any other photos you have they are lovely to remember what was a special occasion. Try not to wear yourself out with all the appointments you have coming up.

@durhamjaide2001 Good luck with your job coach tomorrow will be thinking of you.

Please all take care of yourself and know we are always here for each other.
