Hi to all here and all who've tagged me the last couple of days.  @Anastasia @Zoe7 @Maggie @TAB @Shaz51 @Judi9877 @DJMasters @outlander @Emelia8 @greenpea @CheerBear @Angels333 @Fluttershy1   And to all reading this.  I've been thinking of you all but had a difficult couple of days and just ran out of steam.  Hit the wall Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday.  Mostly things that have happened offline but something that really challenged me on here too.  Also included over-supporting a 'friend' who I talked about already here, the one that invalidated my explanation of bipolar and complex PTSD,  being expected to reply instantly and make myself available for my adult child on the spot despite what's going on for me, and another really difficult talking to by my brother (won't dignify it by calling it a conversation).  Once again all I could do was try to take in what he was saying and not verbalise how defensive, powerless and harshly criticized I felt.  Too much to type here.  I still have very low energy today, somewhat depressed and disempowered plus feeling like my situation living here is conditional and tenuous - which rattles me deeply.  

So I'm sorry I haven't much to offer anyone in the way of support at the moment.  

Lots more I'm struggling with too, re loss of support worker activities, stepping up our covid responses due to it being in our suburb (I'm in the hunter region of NSW) etc etc.  

I will try to read all your posts and respond where I'm able to.  

Hi also to @Adge @Teej @frog @NatureLover @Former-Member @Jupiter @Former-Member @MDT @Bezak482 @Faith-and-Hope @BPDSurvivor @Blep @Exoplanet @Mazarita ... don't even have the energy to continue tagging here.  So sorry if I've missed naming anyone, it's nothing personal believe me, just a sign of how I'm feeling.

Take care, stay safe and stay kind everyone.
