Re: A long rave

Hi @greenpea @Mazarita @cutiepiekitty @Faith-and-Hope @greenpea @outlander @eth 

I suffer from getting sleep at night  time as well, and my psychiatrist told me to start takin g

 Certain tablets that would work on you but I can't put the name here which helps you sleep.and when I go to bed I put o. A guided meditatation i put on nightly, I'm no good with meditations but after having my tablet, it's easier to try it and most nights I'm asleep before it ends.

@Adge  i pray that your brother is getting bbetter just a little bit each day, and all your family are being looked after as well

It's a hard day for me this week regarding finances,I checked it this morning my account and found out I'm  minus-$176 already and I only get the DSP This one and I have a big bill I have to pay on Thursday for$137, which will leave me with no money for anything else,  I'm to scared to answer my phone,  in case it's my other bills I can't pay and I'm to scared to say anything to  my son2, I just want to hide away somewhere til  the end of the month

With no communication things, to see what happened while i was away and my son hax to sorf it all out

Re: A long rave

Great news @eth . Glad it all went well. 

Re: A long rave

Thanks @greenpea @eth @saturnzoon & everyone - For your kind thoughts, & checking in.

I'm just totally overwhelmed, waves of despair - trying to keep my head up above water.

Being pro-active & trying to be caring, not working very well.

Much harder today, for some reason.

Kind thoughts to you all.

Re: A long rave

Hi @saturnzoon Thats a problem with the money. I know how hard it is as I am only on dsp too. Is it possible to put the bill off, or pay part of it this pay and part next? Or is there a Salvos or any organisation around that can help out a bit? Remember there are plenty here thinking of and supporting you.

Re: A long rave

It sounds like such a wonderful time away with your family @eth - so much done with them and memories you can hold onto until you see them again Heart

Re: A long rave

Thanks @greenpea You too.

Re: A long rave

Hi @cutiepiekitty  hope today is a better one for you.  This cold and wet weather makes it hard to get going.  I've a busy day today with psychologist and psychiatrist but will probably check in again late in the day.  Take care.

 

Hey @eudemonism  I'm female as it happens!  You are right about my age.  Hope today is a good one for you.

 

Sending my warmest wishes @Adge   Will you be able to go see your brother while he's recovering?  Hoping he's out of icu by now.

 

@saturnzoon  sorry to hear it's happened again.  Hoping you can make arrangements to pay the bills in instalments.  Also most charities have financial counselling these days and can arrange for you not to have to pay interest as you pay things down.

Re: A long rave

Hi @eth @greenpea

Hi everyone.

My brother will be in ICU for several weeks at least.

He is still unconscious with no response to visitors.

I am on the other side of the country  (WA).

I pressume he will recover - prognosis is not good.

Thanks.

Adge

Re: A long rave

Thanks for the update @Adge 

 

I'm so sorry he is so unwell.   You must feel the distance at this time.

 

Sending you much love. Xxx
