Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Hi @Shaz51 @NatureLover @scruffypuffball @creative_writer @Dimity ,

Great to see you all here.

Hope you have been okay over the past few days.

Hi @tyme I’m lying low today, I think my period is about to start. How are you?

[tyme]

My first day back after a long time so I'm just catching up on SANE life 🙂 @creative_writer  Hope you feel better soon

[creative_writer]

@tyme I’m amazed by how many people you support on here. I get overstimulated when I have too many notifications to get through.

It’s rather cold in Melbourne today too. I think my body is preparing for winter, I am all wrapped up

[Shaz51]

 I love being tagged and getting notifications @tyme , @creative_writer , @NatureLover , @scruffypuffball 

[creative_writer]

@Shaz51 @tyme @NatureLover and @scruffypuffball, I love being tagged too because it shows how caring everyone is on here and I love talking to you all💖, but I also get overstimulated too, so gotta take those breaks

Lol @creative_writer , every time I log on, I have 99+ notifications, so I don't get to notifications until later. I generally attend to what is in the moderation queue, then emails, and the notifications at the end.

However, I don't like to forget people. I want to be able to follow through with the support. It's important as part of trauma-informed care.

I have to set boundaries though and tell myself that my job is not to 'fix' people, but to rather, sit with members and walk with them along their MH journey.

@tyme we also have to set boundaries around working during scheduled time like a job and sometimes that’s hard. It does make sense to strategise what needs more urgent attention. I think even the smallest things like a check in can make a huge difference

[Shaz51]

Very true @creative_writer , @tyme 😀

[creative_writer]

@Shaz51 sometimes I do need time away from the forums, but I’ll always be back 🙂. I think that’s perfectly human
