Let us know what you'd like to do, if you'd like :) ... View more

@Tiny_leaf  Ah, I see- reviews can suck but sometimes are necessary- keep us updated if you feel up to it. And you aren't alone in the lockdown blues- sending hugs! ... View more

Cheers for the questions@WheresMySquishy 1. What's something you love doing for others? What's something you love others doing for you? I love chilling on the couch and watching shows! Thought I would be sick of it after lockdown but I'm not. 2. What's your favourite romantic TV show, film, song or book? Hmm.. not big on the romantic genre itself but I love Molly/Arthur Weasley's homely relationship! 3. What's your favourite type of shell? Or, post a picture of a shell you like. Anything you can hear the ocean in! ... View more

@Bre-RO this is such a nuanced topic, I love it! Do we have date for it? If I plan ahead I may be able to make it! ... View more

@Tiny_leaf oh that's ok, hopefully the review comes through promptly with the outcome you are after! Reviews can be tricky to build and submit so it's great you have taken this important step. ... View more

I love seeing how this thread has grown! Affirming things like this is a lovely way to self-care! ... View more

@Tiny_leaf hope lockdown is treating you well, it can be a sucky situation but you can get through! What did you/you Dad end up saying? ... View more

@Tiny_leaf sigh, what did your Dad end up saying? Will you get to speak with your LAC yourself too? ... View more

@WinterCalvino that's a lovely bunch of things! I love it when people remember food orders!   My positives are:   The pretty rain outside Avocado toast for brekky Seeing friends without getting too tired! ... View more

@Tiny_leaf Did your Dad make contact with your LAC? Or do you have a plan to reach your LAC soon to discuss your concerns soon? ... View more

@Tiny_leaf that's unfortunate that you couldn't get in touch with your LAC- will be able to arrange to speak with them tomorrow? ... View more

@WheresMySquishy that's actually such a great example! Hope you and your family are doing ok too! ... View more

@Tiny_leaf I'm sorry to hear that hotlines aren't helpful- do you like any Reachout resources, including any threads here? ... View more

@ayrc_1904 I love this sentiment!   I love that my family finally banded together and got a coffee machine- our coffee tastes so professional and nice now! ... View more

@WheresMySquishy  so sorry to hear about your grandma again- how is going today? Hopefully, your day off will be a welcome break too! ... View more

@Tiny_leaf that's really tough, and you are definitely not alone in feeling like the 'tough it out' approach is the only one to take! If that's what gets you through you right now, what are some ways you can make 'surviving' it more bearable? Could some self-care set a good foundation, especially whilst some of your professional support is out of the picture? ... View more

@Tiny_leaf that's understandable, and we are here to listen. Has any of the suggestions so far helped at all? Can we build on any strategies that have worked in the past? ... View more

@Bre-RO I love these classic but wholesome goals- what do you intend to use your nightly journaling for? ... View more

@WinterCalvino I love this meditation technique! I might even practise with a real hot chocolate hahaa! ... View more

@WheresMySquishy so simple yet accessible and effective! I love that kind of self-care! ... View more

@Tiny_leaf  Oh my, that sounds frustrating and exhausting! @Hannah-RO  had some great suggestions, please let us know if anything helps or keep us updated in general if you like. One thing I'd suggest is if you do throw up remember to replace your electrolytes with Hydrolyte drink or something so you feel better afterwards- people often forget this!  Sending hugs! ...

@celestialdreamer I love the idea of reaching out to extended family and helping out with immediate family- family is a great self-care theme. Very wholesome! ... View more

@Tiny_leaf ohh I'm glad you got the relief! If you'd like to brainstorm some avenues for peer support, let us know :) ... View more

@Addie_DCLXVI I love that you are returning to an old instrument!   Today I did self-care by wrangling my body clock/sleep cycle back in order, laying the foundation for more self-care! ... View more

@Milkninja222 thanks for asking! I've done well I think, I haven't worried about "splurge" or "essential" purchases, and I've been drinking lots of water as it's 37c here! ... View more

@Saltwaterdreamtime  ohh my goodness I'm so sorry you're stuck with that right now. I have a similar issue. I'm trying to go to sleep earlier but it doesn't get fully dark until like 930pm or so! So confusing for my body rip! ... View more

@Tiny_leaf yes, I can see how that would be the case, oh dear. Be polite and civil to him on his day, certainly, but engage in self-care if being nice to him despite the recent conflict makes you feel exhausted (as it understandably might). ... View more

@Love_elmo77  if I may chime in about passing the hazards test, I advise you make full use of the time they give you (which is actually way more than you need). Do every practise question/scenario they give you even if you feel you are ready to move onto the real test after a few questions. Read the instructions/prompts aloud to yourself quietly. Most questions people get wrong is because they don't look at the detail of the question. For example, there's a big difference between " click when it is safe to move off the curb" and "click when it is time put on your indicators to move off the curb from a parked position." Hope that makes sense!  ... View more

@Tiny_leaf that is so deplorable, how are you doing now? Know it's definitely not your fault either- don't worry about trying to reason with him right now. Just focus on you. ... View more
