    Seeing my sister tonight and we are all doing lateral flow tests before hand to keep safe. The dog obviously can't do one so is socially distancing from other dogs so she doesn't carry covid and pass it onto her human sister 😉

    Some people think I am unhappy. I'm not. I just approach silence in the world that never stops talking.

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Sure @Shaunie :) what would you like to talk about? give us a conversation starter!

    I had a bacon sandwich for lunch @GreenTea. That was my highlight so far today! Think I am going to watch something Christmas-themed this afternoon. Probably Nativity 3 :)

    Oh no @independent_ :/ I hope you are okay! You are reminding me of myself. I am always tripping over my own feet =)

    Good luck @Shaunie and @GreenTea with both of your afternoons. Both feel free to let us know how you get on <3

    @Laura_tigger82 Nativity films are funny. I haven't had lunch yet haha. Too stressed and upset. Crying because miss my dog. Horrible when pets die. Also anxiously awaiting to hear outcome of this covid meeting too. Struggling mentally. Want to self harm but battling it 💜

    Omg I’ve just received an email saying I’m suspended from work until my gp confirms I can work??)

    Oh no @Shaunie :/

    They probably just want to make sure you are feeling okay before you go back under work pressure <3

    @GreenTea

    I am really sorry to hear you are struggling. We are here with listening ears. Hopefully, you will soon hear about the meeting outcome and feel relieved about your PCR results and can then eat something. Keep fighting forwards <3

    My aunt just came round for a coffee, haven’t seen her in a few months so that was nice

    I've been able to get an appointment for my 2nd dose of the vaccine. Getting it done on Wednesday morning at the GP surgery.

    The cat couldn't get any closer to me if it tried. Not sure if the cat is genuinely being cute or if the food bowl is empty.
    The food bowl was empty.

    im bored too. Went to get a PCR test from uni done before I go to my mums for christmas. It was grim cos it was a saliva sample so you have to spit in a straw lol. Just got home doing some laundry and watching tv but i feel well restless. Might do some colouring when ive put my laundry in the dryer. How is evryone?

    Ooo that PCR sounds so much nicer than the throat and nose swab though! Hope it comes back negative so you can go to your mum's!

    Wish my feet would warm up, got 2 pairs of socks on and still cold lol hurts to walk on my feet.

    Hi @Jellyelephant

    I am well thank you. Sorry to hear you are feeling restless :/

    Good luck with your PCR test! I hope you have a wonderful time seeing your mum at Christmas :3

    Well done for doing some laundry, that is such an achievement. Not least when you are already feeling restless.

    What are you hoping to watch on TV? :3

    I often find colouring relaxing and I hope you do too! <3

    Just saw the crisis team. He was very good. Very good at helping me think more clearly and was really clear and helpful
    We looked at DBT stuff together.

    I rang work and was like ahhh I got this email. And they was like yeah they use the word suspension but doesn’t mean anything bad and just want me to get the support I need before work

    Heeeeyyy @Jellyelephant lovely to see you on this thread! It’s amazing to see it so active again. I hope the test comes back negative too, and you have a lovely time seeing your mum at Christmas. I do agree with @GreenTea though it sounds somewhat better than having to shove the test thing down your throat, that is very unpleasant!!!
