Yeah I'm OK after the procedure. I won't know if it's working for up to two weeks. I have a little pain, but it's not unbearable.
I've not crashed as I expected, but I deliberately took my night meds early to sleep as long as I could which helped. My SI is a bit high this week, and I'm feeling quite flat and drained. Trying to roll with it until it goes. The chair of the suicide network is still giving me a lot of grief, and is triggering lots of negative feelings. I've decided after the next meeting to quit the network and look for other opportunities. I will still support the network on fb, but will resign as secretary and member. I feel incredibly sad about it, as it didn't need to end like this, but I need to keep trying to move forward and live, not be dragged backwards.
I'm glad you are ok as you can be. Wow, you've gotten really hooked into that crochet. (did you get the joke!). I can't wait to see more of it.
The boys are fast asleep at the end of the bed atm. They've been very good the last few days with people about.
My uncle is going to stay 2 days here on Friday and Saturday as he has Jehovah Witness events in the city. He lives in a small country town a few hours from the city. He reminds me a lot of Robyn Williams. He's very funny and cheeky, but that hides a deep depression within him and big financial issues. Still, I will enjoy his company for that time.

Hey @Snowie
My morning hasn't started well at all. I've had the Chair of the suicide network messaging me at 6:30 asking me a barrage of questions that I'd already discussed with her a week ago. When I messaged back saying I'm not attending to those tasks until after 8:30,she said then don't ask your messages at 6:30!! The more stressed and busy she gets, the more I cope it. I'm tendering my resignation after the next meeting in two weeks.
I booked an Uber for my mother early hours of this morning last night, I showed her how it worked, but somehow everything has gone wrong, she didn't either wait for the Uber cab or something, so she caught a different cab and got completely ripped off with the fare. That will probably be my fault too.
My mother's mental health has always teetered close to breakdown point. She gets easily overwhelmed with anxiety and stress. I try to help smooth things a little, but it never seems to work well enough.
Tired of so many fk ups. Tired of being a fk up. Tired of living as a fk up.
Sorry for the rant. I've got my GP appt in about an hour

@Sans911 Often we struggle because there are simply less resources available for us. Less social and emotional re your family and mother and your vollie organisation and less material supports eg worrying about cab charges.
We value your presence.

Rant away @Sans911, I am happy to listen. You are definitely not a fk up hun, not even close.
Sounds like this lady relies on you too much. It is not your fault if she is struggling.
Hugs n hugs hun, hope the gp goes ok 💜💜💜

Really overwhelmed right now @Snowie. I need to clean my house, but I just want to crawl into a cave and not come out. Tears are coming whenever someone asks how am I.
