Heyy everyone you have me this week here's a cute piccy I so had to share with you all im currently hosting a forum discussion on here to do with pets.
have any of you got any pets if so what do you have?
Do you see them as therapeutic? found it helpful?
how did the last week go for you and how are your goals going?
@CaringBrit Hello I have a fat cat names Sadie. She is a resuce and basically just lays around all day living the good life. I want to be her when I grow up :)
@NancySV1 aww do you find her therapeutic? helpful if she is etc n aww
Still trying to get over this cold. I've finally feeling a bit of energy where I'm not mostly confined to one space throughout the day, I spent many hours just in my bedroom last week. I have stuff planned with my family this upcoming weekend, so I'm hoping I'll have more energy by then and can walk a reasonable distance without having to stop for a coughing fit.
@AffyAvo aww hope you feel better asap for the family activities affy :)
I want a pet, but a dog is not in my price range. Allergic to cats. Can't really hug a fish. Any suggestions?
@stacy46 bunnies ? ferret , so smaller animals that are huggable
@CaringBrit My son wants a dog. I want something that I can hug. And won't be scared of. Anxiety.
@stacy46 aww
I am back to feeling more of my normal, although sleeping wise I'm still fairly off. I can actually get up and move within my house without it taking most of my energy. I'm still not at my 'good' days, but back to feeling like a fairly average day.
@AffyAvo aww thats good theirs improvement afy
@CaringBrit Yes! We are like a miniature urban zoo at my house! Ayla (my service dog) and I actually went to go see the new Incredibles movie yesterday! https://www.instagram.com/p/BkSzSphBeQo/?taken-by=helperpup (Heres the link to those pictures! LOL)
@KileyReagan awww
Was at the beach this morning and doing a bunch of other stuff the rest of the day. Probably pushed a little too hard, I just crashed out on the couch when I finally did sit. After doing so little because of being sick it was nice to move although my body is saying otherwise right now.
@AffyAvo awww but at least you got out :) fresh air does us good so although your bodys hating it right now hopefully you heal faster :)
I was bite by a spider and not sure what kind. Been painful and itching but is slowly healing. Started summer session. Trying meet the work requirements and catch up on the online requirements that I didn't notice I missed a a few deadlines. Issues with fine print. Also have weather alerts for extreme conditions so I'm rather nervous as both my parent and I have disabilities and I'm the resident volunteer care giver as my parent cannot afford to pay anyone nor would they accept one if they could lol@CaringBrit
@Lolowise475 aww no hope you stay safe and did you get checked out for the spider bite?
Yes I did it is healing up as it has been about a week but still occasionally itches. Now we are on natural disaster alert. Hopefully it won't be necessary to evacuate. This situation has me very nervous and upset.@CaringBrit
@Lolowise475 oh dear stay safe i can understand how you feel
Yes still on disaster alert and trying to be prepared if we need to go again. Hopefully issues will improve soon. My parent is very resistant to leaving and I have had little rest. I have reached out to others to help cope with the stress.
@CaringBrit
@Lolowise475 thats good youve reached out are they being helpful?
that must feel frustrating shes being hesitant to go especially with the alert
A lot of people have been supportive and have called to see if I am okay. Done extra steps to try to prepare if it becomes mandatory. Also I have been exhausted because of lack of sleep due to heighten anxiety and worry. Also it makes me less patient and irritable. I am trying not forget anything. I also juggle 2 part time jobs and school. But very grateful for those who have been there for us emotionally.@CaringBrit
@Lolowise475 aww thats alot to juggle around
Yes but I just want the potential threat that is triggering my PTSD to disappear. It makes it hard to concentrate. I have to double check myself sometimes.@CaringBrit
@Lolowise475 aww yeah threats that trigger arent easy especially that one particular threat
Especially hard are additional stressors. My parent has become very emotionally abusive as I am not able to spend uninterrupted hours listening to nonstop complaining. I am not sure if it is due to them feeling unwell or feeling lonely and ignored. Also my livelihood is interwoven with education and now their is a dilemma on being able to.complete requirements. Difficult. Also still on alert.@CaringBrit
@Lolowise475 aww no we have a new checkin now 25th to 1st july i believe was put with affy
Maybe I missed the new prompt? On high weather alert here. Hard to focus.@CaringBrit
@Lolowise475 aww
Well thanks 4 support been 4 days and one to go at high level alert. Very nerve racking.@CaringBrit
@Lolowise475 aww yw lolo
Alert still hasn't passed and danger is still present. Hoping and praying for danger to pass us.@CaringBrit
@Lolowise475 hope it passes soon
More emergency personnel active. Some progress but danger still present. Trying to be vigilant and not reveal to parent extent of the current situation. Hoping it passes soon. I check often.@CaringBrit
@CaringBrit hey everything was pretty hectic last week tommorow is another day !
@NancySV1 aww what made it hectic
