Thinking of you too @Appleblossom - miss our chats. Hoping you haven't posted for awhile because your life is keeping you happily engaged and it is going well for you, the way it should be. You deserve that happiness. Sending warm hugs xx

THANK YOU so much 

For caring and bring up my old thread.  I am very busy with an array of commitments.  Most months have around 2 concerts so that is lovely stimulating and positive and grounding aspect of my existence. 

The Zoo is still going well and we have a PD day next week which should be great ... re feathery and croaky local residents.

Technically I have had a lot of trouble getting on to the site so have let it go as I kept getting weird errors .. might be cookies ... but have also gone through an NBN and provider change.  Maybe it will be settled now ... here hoping.

At a deeper level, I have been going through hell. Taking extra prn pill each day and one day I needed to take 3 on top of usual, so I have tweaked levels up.  My son is home and it is important I am well and not wobbly, but he is also throwing a few curved balls at me.  RIGHT now he is being beautiful and we have ticked off a lot of jobs, but his anxiety is also easily triggered now, and I am getting a fair bit of blame, so I am treading a delicate line.

I have also been involved with NEAMI and found that good and productive.

Dear@Teej

Same here. I have noticed you and seen mostly you have a lot on your plate with household full of adult kids, but are managing.

 @Shaz51 Hope your kidneys are behaving as well as possible and of course Mr Shaz too.

@Former-MemberYes I loved our chats and maybe we will have more.  Atm I having those kind of chats with NEAMI staff so that feels worthwhile too.   Musically things will settle a bit after March.  I had opportunities to be in lots of wonderful events .. this weekend a radio live performance and recording ... cant say exactly what.

@Faith-and-Hope  Feeling for you with the big move and the tricky situations you negotiate with your hubster.  I really hope there is blue sky ahead .. or some turning that makes life easier.

Hello @Appleblossom

So great to hear from you!  Wow - a live radio performance and recording - now that is exciting!!!! 😃 I wish I could listen to that one. Sounds like you are going leaps and bounds forward in the music industry - well done @Appleblossom. The opportunities coming your way sound amazing - good to read that you are grabbing them with both hands. It was also good to read that you are still enjoying your volunteer work at the zoo as well - I am still finding my volunteering thoroughly fulfilling and enjoyable too. It was one of the best decisions I ever made I have come to realise now. I have made very special lifelong bonds there too.

Relationships with our children who suffer MI can be like walking on eggshells when with them at times - and this at times can send my anxiety rising; but they are worth it and it's sounds like your son has improved as my daughter has. Although her issues have come to the surface again because of another not so healthy relationship she has entered into. The latter seems to be her downfall, just when she was improving she picks another user. I don't know how to get through to her - she will have to learn for herself and myself and hubby will just have to keep picking up the pieces. I just wish she could meet someone worthy of her that does not drag her down all the time. As when she is down I can follow.

NEAMI sounds interesting - Glad you have found the conversations with staff there helpful. I haven't heard of them before - will have a sticky beak later and find out more.

Sorry to read that you have been going through hell on a deeper level. Is that due to the pressure of hanging on a delicate line with your son? I think I can relate to that somewhat - if I am on the right track that can be a vicious up and down cycle - but they tend to get that bit better when they are up again. I find my volunteer work, interests and going out with friends helps me there to find a balance for my emotions and then I cope a bit better. It would be good having someone to talk it through with too, I was happy to read that you were doing that.

I look forward to hopefully having more chats with you in the near future, in the meantime this weekend - go knock them dead with that great singing talent and humour of yours! A great achievement. Look forward to hearing all about it ❤️

I meant to also mention that I am having technical difficulties online her at Sane too and you aren't alone there. I get a error message each time I hit the forums button and have to find my way around it. Also have had posts not go through when I post them which can end up with multiple postings on the odd ocassion. Not sure why this is happening.
