Hey Pat

welcome to beyond blue. This site is welcoming and wonderful to speak with others. Everyone is kind and non-judgemental.

Im I’m sorry to hear of your separation, I hope you’re doing ok and your kids too ?

I’m 36F, getting divorced, no kids but have been through hell the last couple of months with personal and family dramas. I have anxiety and situational depression and some ptsd. I am stronger everyday I work full time and I love working.

i love cooking, cleaning and exercise and shopping! Shoes are my addiction 😂😂😂

thank you for reaching out and hope to hear from you soon again.

Hi Happy

yeah this is a great site. ive chatted with some good people on here (on another forum topic)

its only been 8 weeks and im missing the kids so much (haven't seen them 😞

I too am going through anxiety, depression and still to work on PTSD (abuse when yngr) a but I am getting stronger each day too.

I work full time as a fitter/leading hand and I love swinging spanners and hammers but unfortunately due to my position I spend a lot of time in the office. My manager told me to have a few more weeks off as I have heaps of sick leave so trying to keep busy.

love working in the garage making and fixing things. Give me metal and I will build anything. Wood is a different story tho lol me and wood don't get along lol.

whats your fav dish to cook? mine is thai green curry chicken (with plenty of spice) and veggies.

all girls seem to have a shoe addiction lol

Hey pat

I’m sorry you have not seen the kids for 8 weeks- this is tough & I bet they’re missing you too.

I’m glad that work is very supportive of your time off! I am not at all handy in a workshed Hahahha but I am pretty good in the kitchen. I’m a vegetarian so I love making yummy salads and tonight is tacos with vegan mince. my favourite food to cook... oh anything really I find it really calming and therapeutic. I made muffins, omelette cups and protein balls on the weekend. I like the process of cooking and when love it when others enjoy it. Also Thai green curry - yum 🙌🏼

I work in a professional environment and having an anxiety attack at my desk is not fun - at all. But, I too have an amazing support network.

I joined bb after a very traumatic experience and found everyone to be so welcoming and it’s nice to know I am not alone and this is ‘normal’

and yes, shoes. They’re my absolute weakness 😑 I have brought 6 pairs in the space of 4 weeks. I think I need help!!

Happy 😊

Hi Happy

I hope they are missing me, tobias and I were inseparable we would always go for a walk up the bush or play out the back when I got home from work.

It is good having a good support network at work, they are really supportive and awesome and my team are great I get a message every couple of days from different people seeing how im going.

I love my meat but I have had some very yummy vegetarian meals and I even make a good vegetarian lasagna and like veggie pizza

maybe they need a support group for people with show addictions lol 😛

my weakness is buying camping stuff lol (not that I get to go camping much, but I might have a bit more time to be able to lol)

Pat 🙂
