    Yeah I get that, any amount of stress can cause troubles with sleeping, especially when the stress is ongoing.

    I can't really relate to your reasons on why sleeping is difficult so unfortunately I am unable to give any advice on how to help you sleep a bit more.

    @Animalloverb no worries at all, I use this thing called ashwagandha so might try that before going to bed, I have before but could try again see if that helps, maybe have 2 before bed.

    I’m bored. I’m going to my writing club today but it’s in a new place and I’m a bit nervous. I haven’t been in at least a month. Anyone wanna talk for a bit?

    I hope your writing club goes well that sounds very interesting actually. I totally get you with new places because it can be quite daunting going somewhere unfamiliar.

    @Amy22 It was really fun actually! There was a new guy there who’s 25, so that’s good that there’s now someone closer to my age at the writing club now! I’m so proud of myself for going, and the heat didn’t get me too much!

    Aw I'm so glad it went well in the end for you. Its always great to meet new people who are similar age to you as well that's something I find hard now and then because I attend a neurodiverse craft group in my local library and a lot of my friends are either in theirs 30s or 50s 🤯. Which I don't mind but it is nice having more younger people your age I find.

    Completely unrelated but I'm having vegetable lasagna tonight and I think we got tear and share garlic bread but its the morrisons one to try. That's going to be interesting to try. The weather has been so warm today hasn't it?. I hope all are doing well in this second heatwave we have had so far. Make sure to stay hydrated, fed, take your meds if you need to.

    It was so tasty! Very cheesy it tasted a bit like tiger bread to be fair which is so nice too. The veggie lasgana was quite nice, it was a microwave one but still lovely. I haven't done a lot today mostly because of the heat really I've done nothing all day 😂 😭. Not me sitting in the heat like 🧍🧍🧍.
