Out in the World
I often wonder, when I'm somewhere such as the workshop last week or in hospital, if any of the women I see are ones who are also active on this site. Should we have a secret signal or is it better to stay online and completely anonymous?

Confronting flashbacks
I've just arrived to see my counsellor. Where I normally see her is really busy so I've been sent two doors up to the Breast Screen clinic where I had my mammograms, ultrasound and biopsy.

One of 'those' days

Ridiculously when I go to my physio they only seem to have the tape in bright colours - currently hot pink camo on my wrist and black cow spots on my leg. At least it doesn't have flashing lights!! So I'm walking…

Newstart Centerlink MD's?
Somehow Centerlink are now medical doctors as they will not accept a second three month doctors certificate to say I cannot work and they say I am to be booked in to see a disability job provider even though they refuse to pay me a disability pension. I left in tears.
