[ArraDreaming]

And yes I went for a run but I’m a fat f* and did a very bad job

[tyme]

Hey @ArraDreaming - 

Was the run just to get out? Or did you have something to do?

[ArraDreaming]

Nah just wanted to get out @tyme  only did a lap of the “big block” so that’s about km 

[ArraDreaming]

Not very far

[tyme]

All I can say is, "good on you"... i struggle to get up the stairs I think. @ArraDreaming 

Have you had dinner? I bought a Happy Meal for my niece and nephew tonight... so yes, I had a chicken burger. I don't even like it... and now I feel yuk about it.

[ArraDreaming]

Nah I didn’t feel like eating dinner I put it in the fridge for tomorrow, my partner made chicken curry

@tyme 

havent had maccas for a while!! 

[tyme]

I've been having some lousy days too, but I sort of feel better tonight. @ArraDreaming - I didn't actually do anything in particular. I just feel better for letting the yucky feelings pass by.

[ArraDreaming]

Yeah idk what to do @tyme

just have to get through the next few weeks we have something really exciting happening just before Christmas which I am looking forward to but struggling to get through the days at the moment

Hearing you @ArraDreaming - At least you have something to look forward to near Christmas.

For me, Christmas/New year has always been the hardest times of the year. Most years, I'd end up in a really bad space. I was only posting about this earlier today. Most Christmas' were spent in inpatient units, so there is actually a lot of trauma associated with xmas.

On a brighter note, I think I've been better the last 2-3 years. I'm gradually able to find ways to manage better.

Whatever you are looking forward to, it sounds very exciting. But yes, you are right - it's about working through this rough patch. Is there anything I can do to support you? I don't want you to feel like you are alone. 

I have also sent you an email 🙂
