Polish onion-filled bagels mmmmmmm

Yes, rest & relaxation is in order (needed) @soul

I just got my blood tests done this afternoon - to see if a cause can be found for my whacky heart-beat (palpitations).

Yes @Adge things are going that way for a lot of people with mental health issues (what NDIS calls psychosocial disability).  People are falling through the gaps.   NDIS had rolled out here 3 years before I came here and it was almost impossible to get any support without NDIS when I moved here from interstate.  I think Partners in Recovery are still going if they're in your area.  And they help with NDIS applications.  There are lots of things I could tell you about but don't want to bombard you, and it would probably be better to talk about it on the other thread I mentioned if you want to.  Any time.

I gotta get onto the Sane chat and speak to them re support when OS but I think i will be too busy looking at stuff lol @eth
Maybe a few dark nights of the soul will hit, but I know how to tackle such things after all.
Did you find that travelling alone was ever lonely?

[MDT]

More than likely @soul lol

[Janiee]

@eth  chocolate definitely makes me happy, unfortunately my hips aren't as happy as the rest of me lol

I did feel pretty alone at times @MDT but when I look back on it I see that it was a bit like doing a retreat in some ways.  And I grew as a person by doing it.  Cost a lot tho'!

[MDT]

Indeed @eth
A retreat is the best way of looking at it I think
I will be seeing a friend in NY and also DC.
So I won't be alone for all of it.
A good balance methinks

[MDT]

After all this time some proper me time would be best @eth
🙂

It does sound like a good balance @MDT.  My 2nd month in Denmark I spent on an island where I didn't know a soul and only had 1 book to read - I read it 7 times!  I didn't speak the language either.  Do you speak any Polish?
