Hi to anyone else around.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

I am here - it does seem pretty quiet right now - I had an empty mail box when I went to bed and there were plenty of posts when I woke up so people were in

How are you and WH and the Baby Dragons this morning?

It's a lovely morning - ah - lunch time - in Melbourne - I slept in today - I usually do on a Saturday

@Faith-and-Hope@utopiaHi, I am around too. I really should get out of bed, but I am so cold in my old house, with no heaters or fires, so it really is the warmest place to be.

I know I it would be better for me to go and be in the world, but I can only handle being in shops/supermarkets if it's quiet and uncrowded. My bedroom is so insulated and quiet so I feel protected here. Although I feel better than last week, I still feel raw with emotions, like I am on the edge of something and I might tip over. And I feel low, so I don't want to be around happy, shiny people.

Hello @Sans911, @Zoe7, @Owlunar, @Faith-and-Hope, @utopia

@Shaz51Hello Shaz, how is your Saturday afternoon looking? I hope to hear you are doing something nice to bring a smile to your day.

Hello @Sans911 xx how are you today

we are having a restfull afternoon after mowing 5 lawns this morning

[Sans911]

@Shaz51Wow, sounds like you really deserve a rest this afernoon.

I am feeling very low and raw, without really understanding why. So it's a very quiet, resting day indoors today. It's quite cool here, and the old, wooden home I rent is cold, which I am really feeling intensely. I am avoiding people and noisy places that might overwhelm me, but I will go for a small walk in a while.

Enjoy your rest...

I am feeling very low and raw,,i am sorry @Sans911, if you like to talk about it , i am here xx

yes we live in an old wooden house to with lots of gaps for the breeze to come through ' which state do you live in xoxo

[Sans911]

@Shaz51I live in Western Australia, more temperate climat here.The days are generally warm but temps drop sharply at night.

I don't know if I want to talk about how I feel, mainly because I am not understanding it. But I will say that I really feel like crying, and I can't. Crying, or not being able to, has been a lifetime problem for me, because I was never allowed to, or threatened (and often acted on that threat) if I did cry. So I get incredibly frustrated (and frequently angry, another problem emotion) that I can't allow my emotions to just be.
