The mood goes all over the place on these threads @Boonana , and it’s allowed to ..... it’s part of getting, or being in touch with the way we are feeling, and we are allowed to feel the way we do.  There are reasons why we feel the way we do, and it’s a part of finding validation about our mental health.

You will find others here are very tolerant about mood changes, because we all tend our o have them swinging around a bit, or rollercoaster group up and down according to tricky situations.

Its all part of the mix.

Should I go?

[Faith-and-Hope]

Not at all @Boonana ..... only if you feel

you need a break and you want to, but there is no need to go.  You haven’t done anything wrong.

[Boonana]

Ok can we talk about something positive?

[Faith-and-Hope]

Sure ..... 

Do you have a favourite flower ?

@Boonana 

[Boonana]

I like the big sunflowers! They’re so bright and yellow is just such a happy colour!
Wbu?

[Faith-and-Hope]

Sunflowers are special to me.  They remind me of

my mother, and we were close, but since I was a little girl I have loved roses.  My grandmothers had them in their gardens, and I was close to my dad’s mum..  Her roses smelled lovely ❣️  Maybe that’s why I like them so much.

Are you arty @Boonana ?  Have you ever tried to draw sunflowers ?

[Boonana]

I’m really sorry for saying sunflower..

I do like doing art but I don’t do it a lot. I have tried to draw a sunflower before.. that did not turn out well.
Hey @Former-Member! What’s your favourite flower?

[Faith-and-Hope]

Don’t be sorry @Boonana .  I like that you said sunflower.  It’s a good thing that they remind me of my mother.

Maybe keep trying to draw sunflowers ?  Van Gogh did for many years before he made the ones he liked 😊🌻👍
