~ R U OKAY? Maybe not, but I’m surviving ~

I wouldn't call it either of those things @ArraDreaming - we don't take respite because we are trying to solve something, we take it because we need it as human beings. It's as important as breathing. So good on you for nourishing yourself.

there’s talk of me possibly being able to take a couple of days off but my hours/days have changed since I been back so it’s not as easy as it is so to be to take a long weekend or few days off @tyme

[Jynx]

I should probably try an early one tonight @Shaz51 - we'll see though 😅

@Former-Member lol did you make that?

Hi @Jynx 

My win is that I got out of bed today. Small victory that feels huge.

[Jynx]

Nice one @Snowie that is absolutely a win 💜

[Former-Member]

No @Jynx saw it on twitter 🙂

[ArraDreaming]

I guess that’s a win not for today but in general I have been “restricted” I guess to working 4 days a week for a couple of years due to injury and now I’m working 5 so that’s a good thing I guess

hi @Jynx yes, R U OK day is a real trigger for me, anyone and everyone i speak to when they ask the question turn and run in fear when i tell them how i am really going, asking are you ok is fine as long as you have the tools to help. i know R U OK is trying to help people to be able to help others. but it can do more harm than good if the person asking is not ready for the real answer. 

my little win is getting through a mental health breakdown a few weeks ago, i didn't think i was going to make it through the other side. i don't know why i keep fighting, but i do. i guess hoping for things to get better one day.

Big win - I’m going home 🎉 Ending 10 months of couch-surfing and living out of a suitcase.

Friends offered me there apartment that they don’t “really use”.

@Jynx @Shaz51 @Jacques @Snowie et al no recent wins come to mind but I'm still (mostly) keeping on going
