@Ru-bee at the moment I'm really hating myself for failing. But I'm trying to get the help I need which seems like such an impossible task. Thankyou, I'm really so grateful to have the support of so many people in this forum at the moment.

The bad mood is very evident at the moment, I snapped at the barista who asked for my name when it's on my loyalty card
I'm depleted from emotional energy from stupid flashbacks yesterday
And all I really want is an actual physical hug

While I can't provide a physical one, I'm sending you a virtual hug @avant-garde
That's fair enough that you'd be feeling emotionally drained today, is there something that might help to restore some of that energy a bit? For me sometimes just hibernating in my home and having minimal contact helps me, maybe putting on a comforting movie or doing a cosy hobby. Or other times putting on my headphones, blasting some music and going for a walk to get fresh air helps too. Anything come to mind for you?

@avant-garde I don't know if Spinifex publishing is still around in Melbourne but I did notice people in our community getting published books with them. Had another friend in years gone by who was a poet and his publisher failed to pay him. I don't think it was Spinifex that did that. Just be careful there are publishers that have preyed on the mentally ill in the past and have been egregious with their activities. I hope all your creative juices keep flowing while you are immersed in the writing process and take pride in what you do over the course of this years writing challenge

@SmilingGecko @PeppyPatti @Ru-bee @Shaz51
Thrashed in my sleep last night, inflamed wrist, dodgy ankles and so very not awake, strong coffee will be required I think, after the 30 drive to where I need to be...
