@Dimity I hope it is just an ebbing and flowing regarding the forums. My feelings have ebbed and flowed a lot over the years. Even though it is online, if we are sensitive we can be hurt.
@NatureLover I have enjoyed your steady friendship with Dim, and that you love nature. I did a load of dishes today and cooked, and it was appreciated. Sigh! The little things. @Shaz51

Hi @Dimity , I miss you being around 😥
I've been awake since 4am. Have made a decision about my little job - not to take it up. I think I've overcommitted. I'd much rather work than tidy the house, but I need the days off like I had before, at my old job.
Yes, the house is getting out of control again and I've well and truly ruined my goal for my psychologist.
Worried about you...hope you are OK. Have you received the second fence quote yet? I hope things with your family haven't deteriorated any further... Sending hugs 🫂

@NatureLover 🫂 Hugs back.
Feeling very fragile.
Sorry to hear about the little job but you can only do so much.
Quotes - no. Family - troubling. House - out of control (we have that in common!).
Take care.

Thanks for your message, @Dimity ❤
So sorry you feel so fragile. 🫂
Sorry also that things aren't improved for you 😥
I've got a friend who's pressuring me to apply for another little volunteer job with her. I'm interested but at the same time think it will be an overload.
I think my S.A.D. has arrived too. 😣
Really hope things look brighter for you and you feel a bit stronger soon. 🤞

Oh no @NatureLover the S.A.D. is bad news. Hope you can nurture yourself and sit in the sun as much as possible on your days off.
I'm trying to keep going but for all I know I could be making things worse.

Thanks, @Dimity ❤
Do you mean making things worse with your family situation?
I have the in-person appt at the hospital with my psychiatrist today. He's changed the appt 6 times, so I hope it does happen today.
Good luck chipping away at the house...
