Happy towel day! (And yes, I did take my towel today)

I'm Kate. I'm 37, and a single mother of a 15 year old. I have bipolar II, a severe generalised anxiety disorder, a panic disorder, agoraphobia, a social phobia, PTSD and also BPD. So a whole lot of hard work to treat, and the fact that the meds cause weight gain, and one of my meds has been linked to developing PCOS means…

Calling All Angels - Jane Siberry and k.d. lang

Mine is caused by childhood abuse...which is hard, because the things that are triggery for me are things that can also happen "normally" but, I'm getting there. This last few days have been really hard, not because of things that deliberately affected me, but I am still really shaky from what I had to see and hear.

I've got lots to lose too. My diary is open, and I love to give and get encouragement, so feel free to add me :)

That would be me...I have a severe generalised anxiety disorder, and PTSD. Feel free to add me :)

I still have nightmares from that one...so yeah, definitely avoid them.

I've added you all - don't feel like you need to accept :) Anyone else coming along later who wants to add me, feel free. Getting - and giving - encouragement can only be a good thing, right?

Don't be afraid of the markdown rack. That's usually the first place I hit on my supermarket run - mostly just in the meat section - I can't guarantee what I will find there, but if I hit up my supermarket around 4.30pm, they start marking down all the meat that's meant to be bought by the next day. Nothing wrong with any…

Me too! I alternate that with waving a pen and muttering Alohomora

Count me in. I've got lots to lose, but whatever I'm now doing must be working. I live in Bathurst. Ultimately, I'm more than happy to support any and everyone, and I would love more support for myself too :)

I understand that, but think about how long women had to lobby to get the whole breast cancer awareness process thing happening. Bring in equivalent amounts of lobbying for prostate cancer and the same thing will happen.

Hi Jennifer, I know exactly where you're coming from, because that's where I'm at too. It sounds like you're your motivation is great, so just remember, you can do this...but slow and gentle changes are more likely to translate to permanent change. Feel free to add me :)

This is my Amber, she's my 2 and a bit year old ACD/Kelpie plus something or other else (maybe greyhound) rescue dog...and one of the reasons I have to go at least walking every day. And I do want to add a picture, but I can't make the links work, so I guess I'll have to pass, which is a shame, because she's gorgeous.

NSW here. Have sent you a friend request

I don't know if I could do it for photos...but I have posed for an artist friend. That was fun.

That sounds good...I think it would also be equally good with frozen strawberry slices. Though we don't have it in Australia either...I might have to find a way to make my own dupe of it and try that.

You look amazing!!! Isn't wonderful that you can look at yourself, and know that you got yourself there!

Me! Feel free to add me...it would be nice to find some more locals on my list. It's much easier to bounce ideas around when you're in the same timezone, yes?

That's a brilliant list! I'm filing that one away for later.

I'm older than your age range, but I'm more than happy for you to add me if you want :)

A little cheesy, but I don't do a Christmas tree...instead, I have a 4ft high inflatable Dalek wrapped in tinsel. I'll come up with something better later, but for right now I'm sleep deprived...I think I'll definitely better after a nap.

Walking Dead, Dexter, Game Of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who, Torchwood, and lots of Sci-Fi channel. Not that I have time to watch them all, but I have my data recorder for that.

Congratulations to you both!

That looks amazing. I've just done my grocery shop for the week, but it's going on the list for next week's menu plan.

Love Red Dwarf! So... let me get this straight. You want to fly on a magic carpet to see the king of the potato people and you're telling me your completely sane?

true love

No judging here. Feel free to add me!
