Re: Just checking in.
How long until it will all be finalised do you think? How are you feeling about it all tonight (only if you feel up to/like answering)? Printers etc drive me nuts and would probably be enough for me for one night!
I'm on a huge soup thing at the moment for whatever reason. I could have it every day and be happy. It's so great to make up earlier and have waiting for you, like your minestrone. I have heaps leftover to put in the freezer π

Re: Just checking in.
Yep Iβm on the same thing with soup @CheerBear and itβs pretty cheap as well. I got the printer working and did print it out.
I dont know the answer to your first question @CheerBear. It will depend on what happens next. This is my way of dealing with it at the moment. Press the scary button....put head in sand and not think about it.....press the scary button......put head in sand. Washing my hair has been a right pain, so gritty ππ.

Re: Just checking in.
I'm really impressed with how you're taking this on and getting through it. I know we only see the versions of us we put out here (that made way more sense in my mind) but what I'm seeing and sensing is pretty great.

Re: Just checking in.
Sorry @CheerBear , @Faith-and-Hope had to soup up π₯£. I hadnβt eaten today π― so there is stress coming out you are not seeing. I just looked at the paperwork and itβs a bit scary but Iβm hoping doable.
Ive been pondering about writing a post on my recovery thread. I feel quite different over the last few weeks and Iβve tried to pinpoint why and how but I think it might just be some of my universe aligning (that sounds deep and spiritual but is more metaphorical than spiritual). Over the past 6ish weeks things have happened that seem to have given me a new lease of life. My mood is still stable (cross fingers for that), I think Iβm possibly on the right dose of meds now. I donβt feel as sad, I donβt feel as anxious, I just feel more present. Who would have thought those words would come out of my mouth/fingers? π.
I really think that maybe after the rocky time with my psych we have worked things out. She confirmed that Iβm not restricted by any time barriers or others which has given me a huge sense of security. I feel like Iβve found that place where I know what support I can get from both her and my therapist for now. For the first time it doesnβt feel like Iβm failing therapy.
I wrote more but as you can imagine Iβm feeling a little unsure what to write for anonymity reasons. I know Iβll fall over again but maybe not quite so much like clockwork for a bit.....or then again....

Re: Just checking in.
I hope you can enjoy and appreciate where you are now without too much of that 'for how long' worry happening.

Re: Just checking in.
Yeah @CheerBear I have been going through that 'waiting for the wheels to fall off' stuff but Iβve been trying to remind myself that they donβt have to and that the reality is they will but until they do I need to work on what I can.
My biggest test will be after my surgeries and legal stuff that I will be back on the Centrelink/job provider merry-go-round. I will have a huge amount of work to do to navigate that as well as I have this so far (which is only the beginning still).
How are you travelling tonight?
