Picking up the pieces again *SU Trigger*

[Jaquaia]

Because you are ill and battling? Just a guess

That sounds like a really productive day!

[Angie]

Agree with Jaq hunni, you have done quite a bit already sweetie xx

So i haven't made it out today. I'm dressed, have done 2 loads washing and put it on the line. Made banana bread and an Apple crumble all gluten free so my daughter can enjoy. I'm afraid its my good old crochet hook and movie kind of day. I always feel guilty when the Sun is shining and I'm indoors.
Suzi my son took Katie out a walk so she is ok. The builders have left for the day so she has the run of the garden again. i dont know how i can be tired....but I am.

Erm, remember my comment yesterday on ‘just’ getting through? You’ve done far more than me today ....

[Suzi]

You've done loads more than me too!

Maybe you need to stop being so hard on yourself?

I know but you guys battle against physical illnesses too. My body is fit and healthy and there is nothing to stop it doing stuff only me. Anyway I crochet a couple of baby elf hats for my page and have an order already so that will keep me occupied. Have retired to bed early as need to be up for church in the morning. It's our turn to lead the youth programme in the morning. I'm reading over my notes to teach but I'm not retaining. I hate teaching from notes I much prefer to have it all in my head but tomorrow is definitely going to be a notes day.

Mental illness has physical symptoms too, fatigue being one pf them!

[Paula]

There was a time when I didn’t battle ‘physical illness’ and I absolutely battled physical symptoms from my mental illness. Actually, a lot of the time, those symptoms were more debilitating than my psychological symptoms.

Edit: this is the NHS list of symptoms https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/clinic...sion/symptoms/

Marc says this to me all the time. As I tell him, and as already been said - depression does have physical issues!

Hooray for the orders! That's brilliant!

Hope the teaching goes well...

I can't believe how much I missed in 2 days...... sorry I'm not going to be able to catch up on it all, just scrolling has sent me square eyed!!
Yesterday and today just flew by. I had a psychology appt today.
I really need to try and get my head together. and be more positive. I need to stop moping around. Paula can you send me a drip drop of your determination and motivation please.

[Jaquaia]

You're not expected to catch up lovely! You will get there
