Hoping  settlement issues resolve soon @Determined

Settlement scheduled for the end of next week @Former-Member. If it all falls over dont know what we are going to do. More than a little concerned atm.

Dropping by quickly before I go back to hiding.

I'm not doing particually great at the moment but I will be ok. Lurking around the different threads from a distance but not feeling overly social. Just wanted to touch base to let all followimg here know I am still around.

I had a near meltdown at work today over something not really that important but I became overwhelmed and felt like I was goimg to burst into tears.  It was a wake up to me that I am not doing as well as I thoungt I was and it unfortunatly would not take much to break me at the moment. Having tomorrow at home, I should be going to class but going to wag and watch the lecture online. Hopfully catch up with a friend in the afternoon. Contemplating calling in sick on Friday.  Its another 2 weeks before I can get back to see my GP or councillor hoping I can hold out until then. Not wallowing in a pity party though, just taking some time out for me.

Hi @Determined

Are you settled now?

[Determined]

Things are a little more settled here atm for however long that lasts. Another 4 week extension until the settlement of our new house has caused more than a little stress and tension. 

I went looking at motorbikes today. I'm calling self care someone suggested mid life crisis perhaps lol either way it is something I have wanted to do for a very long time and seriously considering. Surprisingly my mum is most supportive. Suggested she may consider getting a bike and we can go riding together. That was unexpected 😊

Darling doesn't care as long as we have enough left over for a new vacuum cleaner. Fair trade I recon 😂

I am feeling quite weary atm though. Very run down and emotional. Looking forward to end of semester at uni.

@Former-Member that was good timing.

I was in the process of typing the above when your message came in. Definitely more settled than things have been but I could not say totally settled.
