You are going through a lot @Former-Member ‌‌💔 

Thinking of you xx

[Former-Member]

@Sunshineandsea Thanks for your support.  It's difficult to talk about mental health and how our lives are affected by it but it's not helped when so many sudden bad events happen at once.

Hey @Former-Member ,

I'm tyme, one of the peer support workers on the forums.

[Sunshineandsea]

Yes, it can make the hard times very overwhelming. 

Are you finding the forums supportive so far?? Is there something we could be helping you with more? @Former-Member 

[Former-Member]

Thanks @tyme .

[Former-Member]

Hi @Sunshineandsea l am finding the forums very supportive and helpful at the moment and l appreciate everyone,s understanding. 

[Former-Member]

Just an update.  I have been to see a doctor from the Catt team today and they are going to organise a few things such as an increase in medication, and possibly a hospital stay. I would probably go mad in a hospital for day but if it sorts things out . I am dreading the court hearing in.early November.

Thank you for sharing @Former-Member - do you feel supported?

[Former-Member]

@tyme Yes l do feel supported but there is a long way to go . I just wish my my kids would talk again not a permanent silence. 

[tyme]

While there's breath, there's hope @Former-Member . 

At this time, I hope you can see to your own health first.

Sitting with you,

tyme
