Daily goals, motivation and check in

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

PS the staff I saw today were pretty nice and helpful which was a relief. Both female which helped me calm a bit. Just wanted to plug that I was treated as a human being and with compassion. 💜🤗

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

It's stepping stones @Former-Member .... re the DSP .... just use the stepping stones on the belief that they are the path to future work.

Yes ... hit the ground running (WH literally ... lol) ....

Enjoyed the coffee .... returned home to a WH melt-down at S2, who stood his ground about not coming to crowded cafes and shopping centres .....

Its come and gone and we're out again, street side cafe, and the weather is beautiful.

Shopping is next .....

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Oh @Former-Member 😞 I'm so sorry to hear. It's so disheartening and frustrating. Huge hugs for wishing you could get back to study, not being able to at the moment, then having to fight this system too. I totally get it. Glad you were treated well though. Are you going to be able to do anything nice for yourself today?

I've just walked out of mine. I got what looks like an extension of 2 months of the exemption but wont know until the exemption is almost over. Then found out that my payments will probably be canceled again anyway for some statements I apparently need to provide but won't have in time thanks to being initially told I wont need to provide them, then public holidays causing a delay in the letter (i haven't even recieved it yet it's just the worker got the notification on the system), and another public holiday that will cause a delay receiving the statement I need to request. Will have to keep dealing with it all. Sinking a little too. Off to get some red licorice and head to Bunnings before i go too far down.

Hope everyone is going ok 💕

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Oh 😔 @CheerBear. You got hurdles to jump too. I hope it works out. It's very much living day to day. I've crashed after completely breaking down from nowhere in my second appointment and have come home to emotionally sleep it all off. I hope liquorice and binning do it for you. Take care. 💜🤗🙏

Hugs @CheerBear and @Former-Member xx

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hope the sleep helps and you wake feeling a little less exhausted and sunk @Former-Member 💗 I picked up some flowers for the pots and thought of you when I did (different shades of purple violas). Looking forward to getting a pic and sharing it with you.

My list is done for today. The psychiatrist didn't answer this morning and hasn't called back yet. I'll give her 2 weeks with no response from when I first called (which will be this Thursday) then give up on that one I think. I got the whipper snipper fixed and enjoyed spending about 10 minutes in Bunnings before I got a call from school to come and help a little fish who probably really didn't need me. Today has not been great and I am really drained now. The plan for the rest of the day is to do things that feel good so I don't fall too far down. The bright side of today is that I now have tomorrow to spend the whole day in the garden, I know I've done everything I can do re c-link at the moment and at least I have some warning about the payments being stopped and won't get a shock like I did last time. I can fix it, it's just unnecessary and additional stress.

How's everyone else getting on?

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

I got a call from a number i dont know and they didnt leave a message, so now im worried about what it might have been about, which i half feel is ridiculous but feeling panicky anyway. stuck now, cant phone back as that would be too scary (again i know! Ridiculous!) But still... 

Hi @CheerBear

well done on getting through everything, controlling everything that you can and now looking at the things you can enjoy. I hope your lil fish does ok for the rest of the day. 

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Thanks @Former-Member 😊

Phone calls like that can send me into a total spin Lj so I don't think that's ridiculous. I sometimes manage to put my number on silent and bring myself to call back to see if I can get an idea of who it was but also be able to just hang up without saying anything if need or want. I find it can help turn down the worry and wonder. Sometimes I panic for ages about it too though because I'm too scared like you, to call back. Hugs.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

hugs @Former-Member after that second appt, did something unexpected happen at that appointment?
