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.

Hey Blubes,

I could afford to move out, just.

I'm on a Centrelink income and also working.

I'm still staying away from her.

I was about to look at a place actually but then thought hold on, if I stay at mum's longer I'll be in a better place financially but then y'day things went pear shaped.

We always recover from spats but why does she feel the need to create a storm for me in the first place. Just makes the respect I have for her drop.

I just applied for a Centrelink advance. Moving out is very tempting at the moment. I don't need to feel abused in the home I live.

HEY monkey, so EVERY 3 weeks???

That's a cycle all right.

I'd stay scarce every 3 week! Might go with the lunar cycle and you can keep a WARNING in your phone.

So bummed hearing your mum is doing that, not to our darling monkey. Hugs to all of you who've gone through it. It's a lingering feeling for sure.

Onwards and upwards monkey!
NO ONE and I mean zero ppl should ever hold you back now.

Love EM

HEY BLUBES! AWESOME CAREER PLAN!

You go for it girl!!

Alexa is undecided whether she'll start next year, she has 9y left to continue so with new house buying ideas and notwithstanding a DEFINITE wrangle with Shep over Settlement she has to push for, things can get ugly before they become beautiful lol.

Bit like a few ppl talking here about the transition in to a butterfly.

Very pleased you have a plan and it sounds fan-fairy-tastic Blubes!

I have Uncle here today so I'm VERY distracted lol.

Will be back later and definitely tonight!

We have to squeeze ALL the Bluberry fun out of you before you go into a study cave!!!

LOVE YOUR WORK lol

hi all - sounds great bluberry - sounds like you've got it all good to go - i hope it's very stimulating and interesting. havng that degree would help in so many ways and is so useful even beyond a career - it's great to have legal knowledge. smart move good for u

Hi all,

Thanks for the encouragement me lovelies! Yes, it should be interesting enough - I couldn't imagine studying anything else tbh. This is where my passion lies, so even if I get bored with the contents (some bits will be an absolute ball breaker, for sure) I'd still have to follow through till the end, as there'll be no fallback plan. You women are the BEST!!

Sleepy, Ems suggested coral colour to off-set the dark grey. I think this would look great, as it'll match the colour of your Himalayan lamps aswell. Colour will def ties in together nicely. 🙂

Hi girls

Back here on and off now my Uncle has left.... and not a moment too soon!

I'll talk more about what Alexa discovered about quite a few of us in our family. Wow... not sure I'm liking her psych research lol.

Blubes, you can borrow my balls of steel so there'll be NO ball breaking in your course!

Well done you for your passion. This area would be total torture for me so I'm glad SOME ppl are interested in it!

We need super smart ppl in positions of power, so you fit right in there.

Hi Blubs - your passion is a driving force to being great at your job - and --- helping so many people.! Go u!!!!

Sounds exciting to have it all set up.
Thrilled for u!

Hi Blubs and Em great tip with the coral i was thinking of adding some coral

I put my mustard jumper on my bed and saw how the colour worked - just a happy accident but i was thinkig of adding in a touch - great one ems

blubs i'm crazy about ur idea of how it will offset the himalayan salt lamp - so cool.
Maybe coral pillowcases or a throw cushion?

Seems to be coming together x

Blubs flirty housemate sounds fun - it will make living entertaining at least and u get along which is good

i think he sounds easy going - would they be right? i hope he is good company when u need it

ur hair sounded really beautiful - probably you are right that it can be done easily but they get stuck in their ways. Love that u take care of urself. Ive booked in for a blowwave next week as well. U inspired me to keep it up. Its so important to feel good - whatever that means.

Awww that's so lovely Sleepy, a freshen up at the hairdressers might be just what the Dr ordered.

How did your hair turn out Blubes? I'm busting to know lol.

Mustard would be really nice Sleepy!

Ugh how to choose?

I'm catching up on my ABC iView shows - mostly English murder mysteries tonight.

Prodigal son has a shift down there tonight and tomorrow which is great for him.
SO he plans on getting home by noon on SUNDAY omg then going back that night.

He'll spend more time on the train one way than with us, I'm really grateful he's doing it to see us.
