The Weekly Friday Feast

[NikNik]

I did see a post somewhere about your father in law @Shaz51. Having a loved one in hospital is stressful! How is he?

[Shaz51]

welcome to the forum @Angels333, your dinner sounds yummy

Thank is a good question NikNik    ---        Are there any strategies or techniques you use to reduce your anxiety?   

[Former-Member]

Welcome @Angels333 - homemade pizza is the best & I love olives!!! Good idea to contact your psychologist on Monday. I reached out to both my psychiatrist & psychologist this week, because of my anxiety.

@NikNik - Joe will be 6 this year (starting school soon!) & Patrick will be 4 this year. Kids usually easily love me - I was even a children's party entertainer for a while before my nervous breakdown at 21. These kids have taken a long time to warm up to me though!

Brussels sprouts is off the menu. My partner sautees them with vegetable stock, capsicum, red onion, chilli & garlic. We don't have any capsicum!

Are you around @Jacques?

Namaste,

Anna

Of course I am @NikNik Nothing would keep me away.
I went up on Wednesday to help move the bulls across the road to an agistment property. Walked into the paddock, put one of the bulls on a halter (while he stayed lying down), then led him while the rest followed us. Absolutely perfect.
All the animals are completely crazy I say!! Hahahaha

My little Killi will have her second go on the halter Sunday. Fingers crossed she is a good girl.

Awesome @Crazy_Bug_Lady

I hope you can share more pics with us soon 🙂

Sorry to hear about that @Shaz51 - I hope you're taking care of yourself amongst all this.

My mother in law has bone cancer and it is also in her spine. She also has dementia. Sorry to read about your Father in law

Hi @Jacques,

I live on my 'morhers in law's' farm with her partner (he triggers ptsd - he was away from Xmas eve till today, which was wonderful) 'brother in law' also lives here - he is okay. Don't have much to talk about with 'sister in law' who was visiting.

Have been more than a little anxious... Last night I was in tears & running off into the darkness... I've been doing better today, but the anxiety is creeping back up on me now...

How are you?

Namaste,

Anna

OMG @Former-Member, i am so sorry, i did not know things where so bad. hugs 🙂

it is so hard the family dynamics, i try to avoid all my family for fear of getting caught up in the fmaily politics, i have had little contact with any family for 8 years, so i don't have that stress.

please be gentle with yourself, allow yourself to feel the emotions then let them go, you are lucky to be able to cry, i am unable to show any emotion, except anger. 

i am ok, feeling sorry for myself lately but other than that ok.  i wish i could sleep of a night though 😞 i get such bad panic attacks when i go to bed.

Namaste

Jacques
