Tired of fighting this battle.

[Beaser]

I hope im ok to post as ive posted so often on other  forums  but im feeling very desperate lately. 

Im just so tired of fighting. I left a job i was in for many years last year. I have since had some part time work that didnt work out.  Im lonely and going broke.  I was desperate and called triple o last week only to be left to my own devices again. I may be going into a facility called parc a non acute inpatient service but that thought scares me. I dont know how much more i can endure. I hope every one is well and thank you for reading      Brett

Hi ER

I hope you managed the heat ok ,it was pretty uncomfortable here i must admit but was indoors for the most part. I do have a split system but i only use it sparingly as i find the breeze from a fan better.   Its funny i remember as a kid as family we just had a pretty basic fan for all of us but it kept us happy.

Im sorry youre depression has kicked in a bit i hope you managed to get some solid sleep.   You know i dont think extreme heat is good for depression/anxiety it feels a bit isolating in a way.  

Its good your going to your friends and a stop over at a caravan park sounds nice too. 

Im sure your friends and there little girl will be great company for you.  And tha cat too.

Take care and stay safe on the roads.

Beaser.

Dear Beaser,

Thank you so kindly ☺️ Yes, I’m off today to drive to the caravan park and then Perth the next day (when it will be 41 🥵). I do look forward to spending time with the cat. We have afternoon naps together and she is lovely company. And it is so good to see my friend and her little girl 🥰

Our family was the same. We just had one small floor fan but we seemed to all get through it ok. I remember we’d all just flake out in front of the cricket during the summer holidays. Dad would have time off work then. We’d have the curtains closed to keep out the heat. But in Perth you often get an afternoon sea breeze, so then we would open everything up and let it in. I agree that a fan can be nicer than aircon somehow. I find having a cold shower is great too.

I do understand what you mean about how the heat can be a bit isolating. I think you feel you can’t move around as easily in the heat and you can feel a bit confined. Last time when I was in the city I did go and spend some time in a shopping centre and so I was around other people for a bit.

Thanks so much for your kind thoughts Beaser. How are you this week? I hope it is a lovely day for you.

Sending you a hug 🤗

Hi ER

I hope your trip to Perth has been a good one and you've got to to spend time with your favorite cat and friends.   I visited Perth many years ago and remember it as such a nice city . We stayed by the Swan river .   I also played footy with a couple of guys who came over from Wagin in the wheat belt .

They were good guys real country fellas. 

I did my shift at the hospital yesterday it went well , pretty busy at times , i think a lot of services are back on line after Christmas.

Hope to hear all is well for you .

Hello dear Beaser,

Yes, all is well and I’m resting with the cat. It’s very hot here but doing ok. I had a lovely stop at the caravan park in a town on the way here. I met some nice people down at the estuary there who were walking their dogs and a lot were crabbing, catching blue swimmer crabs. I had a really nice time with my friend and her little girl yesterday afternoon. 

The Swan river is lovely and I’m glad you got to stay next to it. I know Wagin and I stayed at Dumbleyung a few years ago which is right near it. I always remember the giant ram from Wagin from when we passed through there when I was a kid. I love the Wheatbelt actually and have explored a few towns around there. It’s great you got to play footy with the country fellas. My dad played footy firstly in the Goldfields and then in the south-west and Wheatbelt in his younger years.

I’m glad your hospital shift went well. I imagine it is getting busier again now as the year really starts up. 

I really hope the week is going well for you Beaser and it’s not too hot. Wishing you a lovely day.

Hugs,

ER
