Share a cuppa?

[amber22]

Hello everyone!!  

It's Amber22 here just sharing a cuppa with anyone that is around and wanting to chat about anything. 

Let me know how your days have been? Was there anything that stood out to you today? Or anything you would like to have a little chat about? 

Here for you tonight 🙂

I’ve had a really good day @amber22 

how was your day?

[amber22]

Amazing to hear ! @Captain24 

What did you get up to today? 

My day has been pretty good, just worked today and I went for a walk before which was a nice break 🙂 

[Captain24]

I went grocery shopping early @amber22. When there was less people as I only tested negative to Covid this morning. I did some diamond art and saw my MH nurse. She is so hard to please! Lol

Hi @Abner ,

I get not support here anymore but judgement. I'm going through the worst time of my life but I'll do it alone. I have been much triggered and traumatised by others posts on here but I remain silent . I make the most benign remark about an experience and got blocked. Don't need need this right now. It's why I've stayed silent on here even when I've wanted to help others. I wanted to become a Counsellor but from what I have seen on here there is nothing to encourage me in such a career.

I’m sorry you feel that way @Paulette. 
I have found nothing but support and encouragement. I believe the support from the peer workers saved my life 2 weeks ago! 

[amber22]

Sounds like a great day!

I've never heard of diamond art before but just looked it up and it looks amazing!! Is this a hobby of yours?

Hey there @Paulette 

I don't believe we have virtually met yet! I'm Amber22 and I am a Peer Support Worker here at SANE. 

I'm so sorry that has been your experience so far, you should never be made to feel as if you have to go through your struggles alone, there is always someone to hold your hand if you need. 

I'm here for you tonight if you wanted to chat, or alternatively there is our drop in service as well. Here is the link to it: https://www.sane.org/get-support/drop-in-service#:~:text=If%20you%20need%20support%2C%20please,10am%... 

Sitting with you tonight,

Amber22

A friend had one that needed to be done so I said I’d do it for her. @amber22 I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I hated it. She gave it to me not long after my MH turned really bad. After a while I realised how it helped distract me and the mindfulness of it all. Then I got addicted! 

What are you having for dinner? I just cooked a roast! Maybe my nurse is right maybe I am in an elevated mood! 😂 

[amber22]

It looks like it would be great for mindfulness! I sometimes force myself to sit down and do a paint by numbers. I find it tricky at the beginning to sit still, but then it really relaxes me and allows me to just focus on painting for a little bit. I'm not very creative so the numbers and picture are great for that little bit of help too. 

Yum a roast sounds so good right now! I dare say its one of my favourite dinners... although I am not a very good cook. I am having some tacos tonight - was craving a Mexican feast! 

Are you up to much tonight, besides cooking your glorious roast?? @Captain24
