Let`s talk about Bipolar

Sending you a big slow hug @Former-Member . So glad you and your husband could be there for your grandson today. Tears come for a reason and sometimes they're flushing our poor tired brains.

Thankyou for your forum support and your help and compassion. I feel a bit out of my depth sometimes but mutual support seems to be the currency here and I offer what I can.

Have you had your general health checked recently? Sometimes there's anaemia or a vitamin deficiency or another problem that's easily fixed that's underlying a low mood and tiredness. Your gp could easily run bloods - or maybe it's an excuse to see another gp. It could be the chance you've been waiting for!

I wish I were as house-proud as you. I don't keep up with the housework and would like to downsize, declutter, clean and renovate. I've read Marie Kondo and my house definitely doesn't spark joy at the moment. It's probably my main goal, after reconnecting with people.

Travel too. I've been seeing photos of WA wildflowers and wish I could be there to see them. Do you have any trips planned?

I hope you have a better weekend @Former-Member . Looking forward to hearing from you

The hug was lovely Dimity. I will ask about a check up when I go back to the GP but at present i can't bring myself to go there.

@Dimity I have been declutering on and off for a few years now. I had boxes of 'things' as we move a lot (1) my husband enjoys renovating (2) I like to try all different areas (3) I never have found home I suppose. It is very liberating having only the things you use and need as well as only your favourite things to make your home homely.

If I was you, I would start this first. A drawer at a time what ever you can handle. Once you empty a drawer etc then clean it as you go. Lockdown is a great excuse!

Early hours in WA ATM going to go do something quite like ironing so not to wake hubby. Wish I could just switch off...Lol

@Shaz51 Thank you. I think I'll have a million questions over the coming days. It's starting to feel a bit like a whole new "trauma" this morning.

Good afternoon @Former-Member @NewbieBipolar @Shaz51 @HenryX et al

I slept very late and it's nice to start with your greetings. I hope u r OK @Shaz51 and just giving yourself some downtime.

@Former-Member you were an earlybird. Thanks for your decluttering tips. I gave away a lot of kitchen stuff about 3 years ago. - a friend helped. It's hard to get started and then get over the silly emotional attachments to things. Marie Kondo thanks things for their service and that resonates with me.

I'll have a quiet day today. I have a headache and the NSW and Vic covid stat's aren't good.

Have a good day everyone.

Dimity

Good evening @Dimity I do hope your headache has now gone and you are not coming down with something. I went to bed around 4.30am but it was just relaxing better than nothing. Clearing out the spare bedrooms of everything so son and grandkids can bring there own possessions so they feel more at home. Don't know when that will be yet, but I don't think it will be far off.

I really do hope the numbers start to decrease very soon over there. We are suppose to be going to Tasmania in late November but that is looking unlikely now. Massive ques in the Northen Territory looks like people are trying to get into WA?

Hello @Shaz51 going back to bed after breakfast, I hope you too aren't coming down with sickness too. Please look after your selfs 💞🌺🤗

Hi @HenryX and all forumites passing through. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Glad to see you have a spring in your step today @HenryX ❤️
