Introduction - Hello Everyone

[Guest_498]

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

That's all wonderful sweetie, all except for the weird phonecall & crazy ideas from exs son lol!

It's great things are going well with flattie and I am SURE you will make really nice friends this year (in an hour or so lol) at Uni.

I really wish you the very best of everything this year, as I do for you all.

I'm alone tonight but the calm is soothing.

Been a bit sad today bec of a weird thing that happened.

But other very nice and "normal" things are happening too lol, I'll take those!

I've tried to nap tonight but am not very comfortable.

All fine. Things are fine.

Love EM

Hey Blubes and everyone.

Blubes, I'm sorry to hear about that stuff.

On the bright side, I'm happy for you with the flatmate, that sounds really sweet!

Ems, were the children out and about for nye? Being home alone is calming, relaxing, your own space n time. Hope you enjoyed it. I did!
Why did you feel sad? What strange thing happened today to upset you?
Strange things happen to me all thw time too.

Hey Blubes

Yeah strange things - D&Ms with Alexa about both of our childhoods in the same years 7y-10yo a few nights ago brought back so many veruccas on my feet!

An affliction I suffered during that time but did not mention once to Alexa.
Barely mentioned it to anyone.
Didn't even THINK about it 3 nights ago during our talks.

OMG now I have 12 erupted in 3 days.

"The body keeps score" all right.

SO I've Google searched:
* alternative treatments for veruccas - leading me to think about making lemon balm essential oil from my plant. Maybe the grandkids will enjoy the alchemy of that lol! - need to find my foot bath etc etc.

* Louise L. Hay's ideas. AHA fear of moving forward all right. Then found PTSD anxiety and childhood trauma so yeah that's another late night read lol!! Cheeses.

* phoning a Podiatrist on Monday morning for an appt later that week when I CAN get a car!
Crikeys this musical cars is interesting grrr.

Anyway I'm helping Alexa on Monday with gardening, changing rooms and sorting over at hers.
She starts Uni soon so these things will play on her mind if we don't sort them.
Plus working full time so yeah. Huge.

I'm still chipping away at moving rooms. I'm getting brutal now with throwing stuff out lol. Losing my patience with it all.

Breathe OUT.

Have to get back to work!

LOVE EMxxxx

Hey Blubes

Sorry I didn't answer your question lol... for NYE 2 kids were asleep bec they worked since 7am till 6pm and were exhausted.

P. son was back down South and studying lol! Bec his gf was working.

Then the others were AT work till almost midnight or after.

I came on to the forums, watched 2 lots of fireworks from my balcony at 9pm and 10:45 and was in bed for the midnight ones lol.

SO I moved the loungeroom around today (to PILE up the bedroom moving furniture v soon!).
I cleaned behind all the lounges etc. Will have to clean the floorboards and tung oil them later.

Instantly I did this the kids and pets came out to the loungeroom to USE it!
YAY!

The TV looks SO MUCH better against the only solid wall. I'll paint it one of those we all spoke about a while back but only AFTER the bedrooms are changed over and prob in Autumn.
The whole room looks so much BIGGER and with more visible floor space.

It's nowhere near finished ofcourse lol!

I need to get the bedrooms changed before I try to finish the loungeroom.
BUT my deadline to have the entire loungeroom completed is October lol.

Deadline for changing bedrooms is end of Jan before we all go back to school and me to FT work.

What you up to?
