Hi Josh y son is really weird with what he watches.He will watch the same dvd over and over again all weekend.Its totally different feel out here then it was a few weeks ago.So much more traffic on the road and the shops are so packed.I went into the shops on the weekend and felt so uncomfortable that i wasnt in their long and came home.I will stick to my online shopping for the moment.I might take the bike out tomorrow if i can brave the cold.

Hi Aleisha I know what you mean about you being able to wear short sleaves and not having looks and being pre judged.It is safe on here and the people on here are non judgemental.Making friends who except me for who i am is the hardest thing to do.

We all have scars, some of us just have ours on the outside. It’s a shame we get judged for it.

hey matchy69 thats ok it will take some time. going out now and staying out for a long period of time might feel like jumping in the deepend at the moment but you can do it I believe in you. maybe aim to slowly get back out there go for a walk then maybe slowely have longer walks, longer bike rides, longer drives. its okay that you cant do it at the moment its fine becuase its a process it will take some time to be where you want to be but everyone in the beyondblue community is here for you to support you in your goals.

hey matchy69 I'm really sorry that feel that our brains tend to trick us to believe things that are not true. I'm sorry that you feel that making friends impossible and feel that no one likes you but I want you to know that's not true. you are an amazing expectational person that's helped so many people.

Tried to sleep tonight, but keep waking up, feeling anxious. Dropped in to say hi to everyone.
