Health and Sanity Check-Ins

[sprocketta]

Things are crazy now. I think we are all trying to stay healthy and maintain sanity as well. I thought I would start this thread so folks can check in and discuss how they're doing. I want all my BIC friends to be okay. I will kick this off with a first post. Take care of yourself lovelies.

@lmaster I told my husband I made home made sanitizer for my daughter a couple of months ago with aloe vera, and he stocked up on that as well 😄 So happy you found a couple of bottles.

@eshoe 

I just made hand sanitizer today! Nothing but time on my hands. 

[eshoe]

Time, time, and then more time @GG84! How did it turn out?

[lmaster]

@eshoe thank you!! I was going to make some with the aloe vera gel you sent us!! 😊

Hi everyone, trying to be positive. I suffer from depression/anxiety and from the middle of last month have been going through an depressive episode. Before that, I lost my family.....I’m just heartbroken by this horrendous virus and I’m sorry if any of you are being affected.....so, had a nearly 5.0 earthquake tonight where I live. Kicking back with some wine trying to calm my nerves. Happy to have this community, love to you all ❤️

Sending you hugs and love @twilightnicky!  I am so sorry that you are having a depressive episode right now.  It's never a good time for those to happen, but right now feels like an even worse time.  I am also deeply sorry for the loss of your family.  I cannot imagine all that you are going through, but just want to reiterate that the BIC is here for you.  ❤️

[twilightnicky]

Thank you so much 🙂

@twilightnicky  Aww hugs. I’m here if you ever need someone to talk to!

@twilightnicky  I’m so sorry. ❤️ I’ve been more worried about my fellow anxiety disorder tribe members than nearly anyone else, honestly. 

Not to condone boozin’ it up but: besides coffee, the one commodity I always have fully (haha, over) stocked is wine. It’d be great if each state would put a moratorium on all their silly wine shipping laws so some of us can buy and send whichever wines we want. 😄 I’m almost out of bourbon and might need to do an “essential” foraging run soon. I would happily ship you more wine, if I could! 

[twilightnicky]

Aww thank you, joined a wine club where they send a new shipment every couple of months so I’m covered lol 🍷

[curlychiquita]

That's so much in a short time, @twilightnicky. I hope things get better soon. ❤

[twilightnicky]

Thank you ❤️

@twilightnicky I am so sorry to hear how difficult things have been for you, my heart goes out to you. Hope you were able to get some sleep last night and that each day brings just a little bit more hope 🙂

[twilightnicky]

Thank you 🙂

I can empathize with you, @twilightnicky !  I've been been feeling anxious and depressed since November.  I was finally starting to feel better around the end of February.  Now the pandemic has hit my state and it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop!

[twilightnicky]

Yeah, it’s scary times 😢 hoping for the best though!

[lmaster]

oh my gosh @twilightnicky I'm so sorry to hear you lost your family!!!

[twilightnicky]

Thank you ❤️

@twilightnicky my heart goes out to you. I think this will cause a lot of depression. But it stinks that you were already feeling down. I hope you are seeing a mental healthcare provider. My therapist did a video conference appointment with me yesterday. I am very concerned the isolation will push me into depression as well. I am proud of you for knowing yourself and being aware. You have my heart and thoughts.
