grounding him again meaningless because he is about to be way from Melbourne for two weekends in row.

I am right there with you with Easter fears. For different reasons. But we will get through. Post whenever you need and tap in to your therapist and other supports. You got this. Xx

Good Morning All
Hope everyone is well and the quietness is a sign of things getting back to normal.
Roof leak has been attended too, it was a very quick job, loose tiles I guess. He doesn't think the ceiling needs replacing and will send some painters in a couple of weeks to fix the paint. Gentle day for me as I was awake in alot of pain often last night and I'm not firing on all cylinders.

Thanks Venus. I hope your well. The pain has subsided substantially but sleep deprivation makes me clumsy and I tend to walk around forgetting what I'm doing so even basic things are beyond me. For example I got a long life milk out of the cupboard, and went to put it back in the cupboard instead of the fridge. Then when I put it in the fridge there was already a milk (all be it low) in there. So bare minimum activities and I might do simple budgeting and planning stuff that doesn't risk poisoning anyone like putting open milk cartons in cupboards 🤣

Hello Team D,
I notice we are all a little absent , but sorry I have also been a little quiet. Crazy busy at work and making prep for Easter. ( Eg lining up every aa person I know to check in with. 😂😂 )
But something happened today that has not happened in a very very long time. I cried. Albeit it in private and wasn’t much actual tears, but a start. I actually felt my feelings. Who woulda thunk?

Dee - Thank you, I hope your feeling much recovered!
Tanky - Things do get quiet after a while on these threads I suppose ☺️ And life's probably speeding back up for many. Lovely to hear from you. I hope you are getting enough rest. I'm thinking your feeling relieved about the crying and seeing it as a step forward in your healing?
Lixie - hello love ☺️
RAL - hope your ok too ❤️
Venus - how are you todaytoday
love to you all ☺️

Good morning Zura. Xx how are you, my lovely?
yes, the crying is a huge sign of progress, as far as I am concerned. Not only crying , but feeling the feelings that made me sad , acknowledging them , not running, disconnecting or suppressing & then being able to move through them, look myself in the mirror , talk to inner child.
It has been strange & uncomfortable not to be able to cry at all for so long. I mean obviously it was mostly fine while I was drinking. Having no feelings at all. Kind of the point. But once I started trying to quit last October I was acutely aware that I wasn’t able to feel anything but depression and anxiety and was pretty sure it may bring some degree of relief if I could.

Tanky - I thought that might be where you were with it but didn't want to assume. That is wonderful. Oh, you asked how I am, I'm pretty good. Normal day to day stuff and ailments but nothing to complain about. Just following the natural rhythm of things, appreciating all I have, without stressing myself out about anything.
Elly - how are you hun? I knew I forgot to check in on someone this morning but my forgetful brain couldn't remember who 🤣
