Sounds like it was a tough session @BlueBay
I am glad you were able to talk to your psych about all of these things.
It must be hard with your mum and not being able to see your Dad.
I hope you can do something nice for yourself tonight.

Hi friends @Snowie @tyme @hanami @Eve7 @MDT @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @Bow and others
didn't sleep well
Keep having horrible dreams of my mum and me
still have a headache which comes and goes and pain in mt stomach
I’ve just come home from a walk down the beach
cold but nice
had to get out of the house
Need to clean house but really can’t be bothered
wish I could stay in bed but we have open house
I’m feeling really paranoid that neighbours are talking about us
I don’t want to see anyone
thoughts of “I don’t care anymore”
”it’s too hard to keep going”

Hey @BlueBay you can do this. You’ve done it before.
What time is your open house? Can you plan to do something nice and relax a bit after that is done?
Im kinda jealous you live so close to the beach. I’d love to be able to walk along the beach every day.... think my daughter would too. There is something so calming and peaceful about the beach. Do you find that?

hey @Bow the beach does make me feel good
it's raining now and poss all day
so it's a netflix day i think
hubby is out all day so i am home alone
i don't know anymore
i am exhausted from cleaning each week
i am exhausted that i have to look at our bank accounts before i go to the shops for anything
i can't live like this
it's not the way to live
i am tired
i have washing to do later once the open house is finished; can't have the clothes inside when people come
i wish it would sell very very soon
i am so anxious, scared of losing everything because we have no money
i can't think right now
i will go and make a coffee
i really don't know why life has to be so damn hard
what have i done to deserve this hard life
i know others are having a hard life too and i don't want to sound like it's just me
because i do empathise with others who are struggling, i totally get it

Sounds rough @BlueBay hope things change for you real soon.

Sounds so tough @BlueBay . I hear you.
Do you like being home alone? Or do you like having people around? We're all different - hence I'm asking.
I'm here for a chat if you need one. And of course you can have an e-hug too!

it's strange because i do like being home alone at times but then i hate it because i feel so lonely and alone.
i think i am more of a home body but then i do like to catch up with a friend for coffee too.
i have been thinking about other 'things' to sell online with the baby stuff i make
so i decided to try some hampers - father's day, mother's day, relaxation, tea/coffee etc
i thought i would start with a father's day hamper as its in september and promote it
i come up with ideas but then i squash them so quickly, thinking no i can't do that, no one will buy them.
but i should just try
trouble is though you need money to purchase little things to include in the hamper. maybe i could buy a few things each fortnight until i have enough for one
need to search where i can buy some package boxes to fill with the items. and cost, i need to see how much these boxes are.

You've got some great ideas there to keep you busy, it sounds. I like your ideas. I think Fathers' Day is coming up soon. @BlueBay
Have you every thought of making gourmet cookies? Mars Bar/Nutella filled cookies?

I had a friend @BlueBay , and every time they visited, they bought a box of cookies. They were chocolate filled cookies. You microwave it for a few seconds and the choc oozes out.
Otherwise, have you ever tried a hot choc bomb? It a goodie-filled chocolate shell that you put in a mug, then add hot milk. When the shell melt, the marshmellows, chocolate flakes etc melt also.
Otherwise, cake pops for kids' birthday parties 🙂
