Our stories
Good morning, @Exoplanet. AWESOME that you have your fence now!!!!! 
So happy to have followed through the long process for you this year of making it happen. Thanks for sharing your journey. CONGRATULATIONS on your step by step persistence with the frustrations of the process, and your own inner struggles with anxiety about things on many occasions. It's even more awesome to have achieved this now, given you have been wanting it for many years. I feel confident those gaps under the gates will be a problem solved before too long, with your ingenuity at work on them. Pinch yourself, my dear. It is REAL, and you really rock!
From one freshly showered friend to another, you and the dogs deserve a good soaking now, so you'll all be feeling as new as your new fence! 
good morning all @outlander@Mazarita@Exoplanet@Dadcaringalone@greenpea@CheerBear
good thinking to stop watching the show last night @outlander trusting your intuition...
@Mazarita you got through Star Trek....and made it to the conversation on the show thread...what a day you had...how did you sleep with all of the eucalyptus?
I forgot about the peppermint...took me ages to get to sleep..
I did feel sad and a sense of loss after the programme...will delve into that with my psychotherapist...
@CheerBear reading words of love in your life...a wonderful feeling..
not sure where everyone else is at...take care
@Dadcaringalone hoping that you are safe ....setting your personal boundaries...and that your son can find some relief...I know this story too well..take care
@greenpea I think that you are going to see a doctor about your medication side effects...not sure where you are at otherwise...take care
When I read back..I found the joy at discovering the fence contractor was there....wow what a moment of pure joy..then the excitement of it suddenly being there all around you....
that would have been some moment..
enjoying the sense of your own world created around your home will stay with you forever....sharing that with your animals ..priceless..
Am so so happy for you...
As for the computer giving...leave that memory in the past..does not deserve any further thought..
Still struggling writing to several people at once on a larger thread....hopefully it makes some sense
take care lovely people

Good morning, @Sophia1, thanks for the message yesterday. I've had a lovely time over the past two nights in my fresh bed. 
Hope your talk with the psychotherapist about that SBS show is helpful. When do you next see them?
I found the show and discussion afterwards interesting, with some positive challenges to stigma coming out of it.
But I also had some troubled feelings about the show, different to yours. Mine related to the way mental illness is portrayed as being so responsive to treatment, with high hopes of major recovery encouraged in us (not just in this show, but in general). These highly positive representations of mental illness give rise to feelings of failure in me, as I seem to struggle with basic aspects of daily life so consistently, and have done so over such a long period of time, despite treatment for about 30 years. I seem to have had such slow progress in moving forward with things, and so many setbacks, a marked contrast to the optimism presented so often in media accounts, and even in literature produced by SANE. For example, bipolar is described in information sheets as a condition that has 'episodes' of illness, with periods of remission in between. And yet, I seem to get no remission, and can hardly think of a time when I felt in any way approaching 'normal'. I guess mental illness affects different people differently, and some more so than others. But the super positive image conveyed in these various representations of mental illness tend to leave me feeling rather lacking, and perhaps more 'seriously ill' than I otherwise would. I haven't dived into depression over it, but it is one of those things I wonder about in advocacy for mental illness.
But enough of that! Hope today treats you well and you find smiles and good cheer in it somewhere.
Good morning, @CheerBear. Have been thinking about you heaps and wondering how you are going. Love and kindest wishes this early morning.
Good morning, @greenpea. Just saw this and it reminded me of you.
Good morning, everyone, may today bring some cheerful feelings for all.
Good to see you, @CheerBear. 
I've been awake since about 3am (now 5.30am here). Naughty me got caught up doing some web surfing. Feeling okay for now though, and no plans for today, so will get some more sleep before long.
How is the morning where you are?
