Hey hun @creative_writer , I hear you. I feel a bit that way in terms of needing emotional relief. What works for you? At the moment, I'm connecting with members on the forums, but I also question, is it just a distraction, and the tears come later? IDK.
I'm here if you need a chat.
@Just , so good to hear from you. I look forward to hearing how you go this year 🙂

Hey @creative_writer , do what you need to. Also, please don't feel pressured to respond if you don't feel up to it and you prefer to be left alone. I get that too sometimes. Please just know we are here for you.
@Just , I had my good cry yesterday. I've had my meds so hopefully, by the time I hop off tonight, I'll be tired and ready to sleep. Here's some hugs for you - HUGS HUGS HUGS.

I hear that. I'll have plenty of it later this week when I travel interstate to see my parents and family. I probably won't go to many family functions with cousins... too much socialising @creative_writer
But yeah, the masking is exhausting!

Human brains are such strange things... they've developed to tell us lies sometimes as a way to...cope?
@creative_writer You are such a battler
