Introduction - Hello Everyone

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 40 years of age, female. My interests include music (any genre), reading a great novel, watching comedy, Restuaranting, and learning new things. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Depression feels very lonely for me. I'd like to reach out for some support. Thank you.

Hi Blubs, those lamps sound really pretty, and everything seems really soothing. You know how to make nice spaces 🙂 It sounds like a lovely townhouse 🙂

Do you have a nice view/scenery? When I was in hospital it was nice to gaze out accross the city... if I were to move I would like to have a view of some sort but right now all I can see is my own little street.
Is the jewelerry box sentimental? That is such a cute touch. Very girly and beautiful.

Hey Mocha, I might have that one day .. I just cant right now. I dont trust any mental health professionals. I cant.

Awww my girl blueberry you deserve that and so much more hun and I believe that you definitely will but hopefully sooner rather then later 🤗

Thanks Mocha, youre a darling xx I really appreciate that.
No, not a nice view of anything like sky sceappers, ocean views or anything. My balcony looks into my neighbour's homes lol. Thats all you see are my neighbour's buildings.
When i buy an apartment, itll have a view of the street like with drams or a lively strip of some description. Im hiping anyway.
Sorry my bb family, im feeling flat. When i feel like this I find myself distancing from most thing including bb forum. However, I still make an effort to get on here to say hi and support you through whatevs... I like to do that at the very least.
Xx

I find I do that to blueberry when I’m not doing so with my mental health which has not been so great lately but I’m doing my best to not step away & take a break from here to try to also get myself together

Welcome back btw. Youve been gone for so long. Ems & I were asking where you were. Glad to have you back. 🙂

Hi girls

I had to go to bed early last night. My chicken slept next to me all night and occasionally called out so I answered her and she settled.

I woke up feeling quite ill with stomach cramps / upset tummy. Not feeling good.

Yeah I take my form of a break from the forums from time to time.

Sometimes I have to force myself to take a break.

I think I "escape" into them, escape from my real life.

I have a specialist appt and a Drs appt this week.

I notice I'm feeling tired ALL the time. No energy and pulling myself around to do the bare minimum.

I made banana bread for the kids but noticing no one's eating it.
Maybe they're being triggered - long story - but such a shame if no one eats it.

I looks fantastic lol but alas. IDK.

Heading to work soon.

Love EM

oh dear that was supposed to say "IT" looks fantastic lol, not "I" ...

Hey Blubes,

I'm up to Season 2 Episode 7 in Suburra, I was SHOCKED at the season 1 final.

This section is pretty brutal.

Who's your favourite character? Mine keep changing lol.

I liked Livia until you know where...

I think my favourite was Romolo but ya know...

Don't want to be a spoiler and say too much.

What are you going to watch next?

I LOVED "No Offense" on ABC iView.
And ofcourse Brooklyn 99 lol.

Alexa said Schitt's Creek is great but I haven't tried it yet.

I just finished cooking dinner and right in the middle of cooking, my rice cooker conked it.
Darn. We eat so much rice. I used to buy it in bulk 20kg sacks, in those days we went through exactly 100kg of rice per year.

A new rice cooker next ugh.

Love EM

hi all -

good that you can know when you need a break - definitely have had those times too.
Happy to read your chicken is showing some thirst and hunger and is okay. Good on you sleeping close to her and showing her so much love EM!

it's a beautiful and sunny day here in melbourne. I'm reading my books and chilling out.
Hope you are all doing well 🙂

Yeh, its pretty brutal by this point. Can you handle it? I was just discussing the finale of season 4 with my flattie... We both agreed (cant say too much here).
I hope youre enjoying it, Ems. ❤
