I’m so sorry for your loss @Shaz51, your mum sounded like such an important person in keeping everyone connected together.
It can really change the whole feeling of a family when someone like that is no longer there. Thinking of you 💛

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that your numbers have decreased. @Appleblossom 😔

What do you sense is next for you? And what would more of what you want look like?

It sounds like this group has been incredibly healing for you. 🥰

Your arts MH activism event sounds like it will be amazing. Having some of your family there will be so nice. 😍

Thank you very much @AlwaysMyself 

pray or whatever your version of it is... please...@Dimity @Shaz51 @AuntGlow 

the rejigging to the forum... has issues.

I have been flat out like a lizard drinking.

I have 57 notifications down to @enkeli . has something changed with the forum in that I cannot tag her or others?  trying again . nup

@

if I cant tag friends... not good.

I am an ex court editor who is leaving a digital trace if there are any unforeseen major issues.

We have had another episode, but we are still persevering ... son was not sectioned.... business as usual.,,, we have no choice... it is most important NOT to pretend that there is more help out there, than there actually is.  I am pretty diligent in research... 

My eyes and wits are addled from the new intensity of new police lights swirling.... hmmmm.... great tek guys... please rejig the crisis protocols 

I wont be able to log in for a while due to the Schizophrenia Awareness Day show.... and family gathering.... wish me luck.

I am experiencing dull persistent chest pain... probably due to recent stress which has been massive.... but I also need to state ... for the record... that I prbably got pericarditis from the Covid vaccines.

I have had so much loss... without... basic condolences or cards or support... it is nuts....

Yes the tagging has been tricky at moment 

They are trying to fix it 

You can tag the ones on the list of the thread @Appleblossom 

@AuntGlow , @Dimity , @Nala2022 , @AlwaysMyself @ENKELI

Just sent up a prayer for you and your son @Appleblossom . Sounds like another bad experience but hope you're pulling through. 🫂 

Hope your family of son and nephews rally around you for the upcoming show.

Yes the tagging issue has been a worry.

I hope you've had the chest pain/pericarditis checked out. My BP has been extreme and I've procrastinated re symptoms but we do owe it to ourselves to seek advice... bearding the dragon. 

Do take care of yourself... music, garden, felines, humour... hoping you're as pain free as you can manage... absolutely you're remembered. I've recently seen clips on summoning the appropriate Mesopotamian deities... I don't have beer on hand for a libation but whatever works.

Thank you my 2 beautiful forum friends @Shaz51 @Dimity 

Will do the responsible thing but it might be later next week. I need to go slow and rest and recover and then think about medical stuff... 

Hope you are as well as can be... given all the challenges you both shoulder.

[Dimity]

Thinking of you and hoping the day goes well @Appleblossom

Thank you @Dimity 

The show went well and was sold out and a great boon for reducing stigma and discrimination in mental health.  My bit was described as philosophical, serious and hope filled. I made a few jokes about footie, the Truth, the newspaper and sounding like a growling grass frog.  I played Beethoven in a trio, Van Eyck on recorder. I mucked up my Mozart as I was playing off ar the end of my vignette. I was mortified. Said Sorry mate, but it didnt distrract too much from the message. In the end I laughed with the producer, saying it was probaby more important that I made a joke about footie in the arts centre than got my Mozart purrfect.

My family gathering was amazing. I am very proud of the young people. They all have their strengths and challenges.

My niece talked with me heaps and slept in my bed. It was important for them all. 

The forum no longer shows who is online. I am not sure it is an improvement, but.... acceptance is sometimes needed.

How are you?
