There are times in life when things are hard and there are times when you get a bit of a break @L-B @Oaktree 

Just know we are here for each other.

@Oaktree , glad your anxiety has been under control. Makes all the difference. Hope having your daughter with you is okay.

@L-B - take your time. Do what's right for you.

Hi @tyme  @Oaktree , Hoping you are both well.

Best wishes for your exam @Oaktree . I think it's probably scheduled soon.

Hope you are travelling OK @tyme  with the person you know being very ill.

I am managing a little better at times. This is a relief.

Hey @L-B ,

He's having chemo at the moment. First one was okay.. but it gets successively harder on the body.

How's your friend who is unwell?

Has your week been okay?

Thinking of you too @Oaktree . Hope your assignments and exams are okay.

Sorry I haven’t been on Sane last few days. Studying hard! Exam is on Thursday. I got 85% in my last test which surprised me. Hopefully I do ok in the exam. Feeling a bit stressed about it but I should do ok. Thanks for asking how I was going. 

I hope you are both okay. I have a friend finding out if he needs chemo on Tuesday. I hope not.

Wow. 85% is so good. So incredible that you are able to focus on study lol... I guess my mind is everywhere. Was this the hard maths unit?

Are you enjoying the course? 

Please look after yourself @Oaktree 

I hope your friend doesn't need chemo

Hi @tyme @Oaktree , my friend is on third round of chemotherapy and finding it hard. Other friend was discharged from hospital but given a reduced life expectancy. Very sad about that.

Very pleased about your fabulous result @Oaktree . Best wishes for the exam on Thursday!

@L-B @tyme 

My friend definitely has cancer in his liver. He needs a biopsy.

My exam went ok. I am confident that I passed. Probably somewhere above 60%. Don’t know how long it will take them to mark the papers.

We can only be with our loved ones as much as we can, and ensure we monitor our own mental health and wellbeing. It's hard to see loved ones go downhill.

Thinking of you both. @L-B @Oaktree

What topic was this one @Oaktree ?

I hope you are enjoying the course.

I'm sorry to hear your friend has cancer. Hope you are looking after yourself with everything going on.

[L-B]

Thanks for your thoughts @tyme . Thinking of you too and @Oaktree .

In monitoring my own mental health sometimes I'm aware of subtle differences that make me highly anxious in situations and exercising control over the situation where I can and being aware of my breath and muscular tension can reduce it. Sounds a bit waffly but makes sense to me!
