Far and Away

[Emelia8]

Hi @Shaz51  and thanks for your usual caring greeting. Sorry to hear of your headache @Zoe7 .  I can sympathise. I woke up this morning feeling like I had a monster hangover. But as I have not had a drop of alcohol to drink in the time since I came to hospital (over 4 weeks) I guess its got something to do with the changeover of AD meds. The AD that I was on, which I was on for chronic pain, is notoriously difficult to come off apparently. @Faith-and-Hope Please pardon my lack of knowledge. I really do feel out of touch. I did not realise Ex was back on the scene. I am sorry to hear this. Really wish things were different for you.

@Snowie @Eve7 @Anastasia 

Been speaking quite a lot here to a man who was involved in the Bali bombings. Makes my own trauma seem very trivial.

Hope D2 is ok too @Faith-and-Hope ❤❤❤

Hello @Emelia8 xx

The peer group chat was good on Thursday night @Zoe7 

With Mr shaz bipolar 2 and other diagnosis,  he goes through cycles , from high to lows , gets all theses ideas and acts on them , I feel like I am a big bad wolf saying no or wait but I know he will come undone in a couple of days 

After yesterday happening,  he has gone back to sleep again today

@Emelia8 Coming off or changing meds can be really difficult s I am pleased you are where you are being taken care of. As for trauma Hon - not trivial - we cannot compare as our experiences are very much our own and very real. Hugs Emelia 💖

[Zoe7]

Such a constant rollercoaster for you with Mr Shaz @Shaz51 You are amazing my sister 💖

[Faith-and-Hope]

ex is here temporarily @Emelia8, but there are legals involved that give him access to D2 when he is 😔.

I hope you are feeling better later in the day.  I uphold what @Zoe7 said, our own situation is actually beyond compare with others because there are so many complexities involved, but you are highly empathetic and I can hear how much you feel for what the otter patient has experienced ….. hugs n hugs ❣️

You’re a wonder of skills @Zoe7 ❣️

@Faith-and-Hope 😁 Computers are just a series of wires, chips and points - if you know the basic structure of the motherboard and have the right specs then it is quite easy. I learnt a lot from my Dad when I was younger so can fix the basics on a lot of tech - the harder parts I will still get done by the experts but replacing a few parts that are easy to replace (ie. unplug/plug in, visible wiring, etc.) I can do myself. ...saves a lot of money too which is handy.

Thanks for the tag @Emelia8  your trauma is certainly not trivial.

H and I flew into Sydney from Hawaii the morning after the Bali bombing and it was chaotic at the airport. Unfortunately I misplaced some books I’d purchased in Honolulu from this amazing bookshop. I either left them on the plane or on the floor with H when I went to the ladies. I tried to search for them but believe me no one was interested…in the scheme of what had occurred that was trivial.

Anyway, sending lots of hugs 💖💚🤗💚💖

Good afternoon @Eve7 @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Shaz51 @Emelia8 

Lots of love and hugs to you all 💕💕

[Zoe7]

Have slept most of the day @Faith-and-Hope  @Snowie Feeling quite unwell with my headache so vey much needed it. Still not great but have 2 more days to recover with the public holiday Monday (thank goodness 😔). 

Going to find a movie to watch while I catch up on a little housework ...for as long as I can take it ...then back to sleep methinks. Work will have to wait for now as I am minimising direct computer viewing and a lot of the work needs to be done on the computer. 

@Shaz51 @Eve7 @Emelia8 and others passing by tonight - hope there has been a little light in your day today 💖

[Eve7]

Hope you sleep well tonight @Zoe7  and wake up refreshed in the morning.

Big hugs 💚🤗💚
