Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
I've had a busy day between my needs and my mother's, and I'm thoroughly exhausted. I feel like I don't have a moment to myself to breathe. I do like spending time with her, but she's quite talkative and often switches subjects without a explanation of what she is talking about. It's really hard for me to stay focused on her so much. Anyway, she is going tommorow for her housesit. And I will have peace again. Rant over.
I hope you are all doing OK.

Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
It certainly does sound like an emotional rollercoaster for you @Sans911 Lovely to have the nice times with your mum though and then some peace again tomorrow. Family can be so draining especially when they stay with us. You are doing well to get through Hon

Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
Thats not good to hear about your SI @Sans911
I know how much that is a struggle for you. I am here with you if you ever need/want to talk about it.
You have had some big days lately with little rest.
Had psych today. Lots on my mind, can't talk about it here. Trying to forget.

Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
It seems to pile up for us @Sans911
There are some big things coming up that I know I need to deal with but am ignoring my thinking brain at the moment.
I've got my "I am blocking it all out" mind on at the moment!!!
Once you mum leaves tomorrow have you got a chance to have some me time?

Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
Had many of those psych appointments in the past @Snowie and know how much things play on your mind. It's never easy after those sessions but I am glad you are reaching out here too for some extra support - it doesn't make it easier but you are not alone Hon
Much love and hugs to you too @Sans911 ...and hope for an easier day tomorrow for you

Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
Yeah I get it @Snowie The aftermath of those appointments can be more damaging than the actual appointment so you are right - connecting here with those of us who get it helps to feel less alone. I have Toby and chocolate for company tonight lol
Going to be a long few days but need to get things done so have to find a way to do it all. Having some time out here is important too - just to relax a little and connect with a few people before I get stuck into it again - hard though to find that balance when there is so much to do.
