The GOOD NEWS Thread

[blondguy]

Hi Everyone

If you have any good news in your life or seen any good news in the media please let us know in a brief post 😊

Note: I understand and respect this thread topic is not for everyone as any level of anxious/depressive feelings are awful to experience

Just for myself I have a couple of positives

• Peta Credlin on Sky News gave Beyond Blue a huge mention earlier this week
• My mum is still independent and doing well at 90 years of age and her lung function test is 'Normal' and still a smoker! Love you mum x

any good news is welcome...and thankyou everyone for being a part of the Beyond Blue forums too!

my kindest always...Paul

My good news >>> Having some really good quality sleep recently......Its feels great

[monkey_magic]

Good quality sleep is essential. And good friends invaluable.

My good news is I've bought a lot of things I've needed.
Mainly clothes and food items. Been spending a couple hrs shopping over 3 days.
Also, I got my first ever pedicure and it exceeded expectations.
Sat on a massage chair while my toenails were cut, shaped and filed, the dead skin was peeled and scrubbed off my feet, my feet were exfoliated and massaged and toenails painted a sparkly colour then oiled.

Monkey glad you are caring for yourself.

hey monkey you sound really healthy and happy!

My birthday is 9 of Jan Geoff so a fair while away... 🙂

Hey guys,

Yeah I do have a new lease on life. Feel freeer these days...and healthier. My income has improved so I've been able to buy more which is a really good feeling. I have some beautiful clothes, beautiful nails and a beautiful 4wd. It's all lifted my spirits. It's a lift considering where I came from. Living off minimal paying rent and stuck...these days I def have more choice!

good for u Monks, keep moving forward from strength 2 strength!

[monkey_magic]

From strength to strength I like the sound of that.

More good news....I haven't played online gambling or real life gambling in months and feel better for it. I only play online if it's free and haven't spent any of my own money. I'm benefitting massively from this change bcas I was becoming out of control with the money I was putting in. If I was up hundreds I also kept playing and lost the lot.
I just couldn't trust myself.

Hello Sleepy21, your birthday is the same day as a person I used to pick up a few times a week and take shopping, haven't for quite a while, but even because of this virus the year has still flown away.

Best wishes.

Geoff.
