It's like a feeling just bubbling up to the surface. It's panicky and disgusting and I dont' know what to do with it. There's no thoughts associated with it. It's a feeling. A really gross one. I called the Suicide Call Back service. I didn't find them helpful. What do you do? What helps you?

Hi Katy

Just dropped by to say hi and I hope things are going OK. Big hug! 💞🙂🌼

Hello

Thanks for popping in. It sounds like youve been keeping busy! I’m busy too and super tired at this point. It will be such a relief once my thesis is handed in.

Sunny skies here but I see from the news that the storms we had are imminent your way. Stay safe! They look pretty bad.

hugs, Katy

Hi Katy, did you have a lot of rain and storms now? The weather sometimes really affects me ... loving the sunny skies u have now and sending big hugs and encouragement for the last chunks of Ur thesis !!

Hello Katy,

I hope you are going ok lass & are giving yourself some outside sunshine & exercise time... or even just time for relaxing in the sunshine... remember that scheduling some "me time" then fitting in whatever work or chores around it is a good way to help manage stress.

How are Miss Stormy's ears doing?... and her hind quarters? I hope the warmer weather is helping.

Sending you the huggliest of hugs & some belly rubs for Miss Beautiful

Hey Katy

Popping in to wish you best of luck and all the energy of the Universe to finish your thesis!

Gosh you're on the "home strait" now and just like a marathon runner, you can see the finish line and you're almost there.

Alexa finished her first year of Honours the other day. She has a thesis to write next year hmmm.

Hope everyone's fur babies are doing well too OF COURSE.

Love to all
EMxxxx

Today everything feels not great. I don’t like me. And I feel like no one else does either. How did I come so unstuck and why can’t I work out how to come back together. I feel sad. And lonely. And pointless.

Hello Katy,

Oh lass I wish I could come & sit with you in person & just be there for you right now... sharing a cuppa & a having one of those lovely chats that seem to be about everything & nothing... yet we feel better for having had it.

You are much loved & cared about by so many people lass...

It is ok not to feel ok... you have so much going on with your prac & thesis & the emotional roller coaster doing your honours has been... plus sometimes we just hit a bad patch (like me lately) & it is hard not to listen to the thoughts beasty puts in our minds... lass this is a patch in your life not your forever.... you can get past it...

I'm not feeling up to going to bed much before dawn... so if you want to chat I will keep popping in to check...

Huggily comforting bear hugs from me & Woofa sends you a bop on your nose from his nose.

Hi Katy

I'm sorry you're feeling down. Has all the work on the thesis brought this on? Can you take a break and take Stormy to the beach and have some time out?

Hugs from me and Sam here 🐕🙂💗

I’d like a nose bop. I just feel sad and it’s making it very hard to get my thesis done when I just want to lie in bed 😞
