@avant-garde , about the washing, what a conundrum!

I would feel so annoyed that someone was taking up a machine when someone else needed it. 

If I put myself in your shoes, unless I was super angry, I'd leave it. When I'm angry, I do impulsive things... i'd probably yell at the person too - which I don't promote at all...

But we're all human?

Also, i'm not saying it's right to leave their stuff in their when so many other need the machine.

LOL @Oaktree , poor Ruby kept trying to run away when I was washing her. I'm glad I was there when she fell in though.

Hey @Louie333 !

I haven't seen you in a while. Hope you are okay. 

Please know I'm thinking of you.

Hey @Yazzabazza !

How are you today? 

Welcome to the best friends club here where you can connect with other members.

Hey @Ainjoule ! Thinking of you. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi @tyme I hope your break was a good one. 

On a pretty frightening spiral again with my MH. I have realised I feel shy about posting on joining here because I don't have the reserves to be a good reciprocal support to others right now, not because of actual shyness. I really hope to be able to be that if there is a light at the other side of this darkness. 

Great to just know you are there, sometimes just knowing is a lot of help.

Here is to 2025 shaking things up in a good way🤗

I think about you quite often @Louie333 . I love the live chats we had on the Peer Group Chat. I'm still chasing up the live chats because I know how beneficial they are. 

It's okay when you don't feel you have the reserves to give. It happens to the best of us - including me. There are some days where I'm pretty flat and say that I'm just not up to responding. And that's okay. 

There are days we may feel more able to support others, and there are days where we sit back and let others support us. 

Sometimes, when you post, just allowing someone to support you will actually be beneficial to them as well.

Please don't feel you are a burden or anything. We love having you with us and I'm sorry your MH has been spiralling...

Hugs to you. We care.

I loved the live chats @tyme , looking forward to them coming back.

I hear what you are saying, I think I see other people who are struggling themselves be so considered and articulate in helping and marvel at their ability. I often write whole responses then feel unworthy of posting. That is definitely something to work on. 

It is true, we all have days where we just need to look after ourselves and sometimes ask for help. I just could never have imagined so many flat days and really don't want to be a burden, thank you for saying that is not so😊. 

Hugs to you too @tyme Wishing you many non flat days. I feel about as flat as a well ironed sheet, linen of course, have to have some style to go with the flat😂❤️
