@bipolarbunny xx

Ohhh thank you my friend @bipolarbunny

Mr shaz is back on his meds which is good xoxo

I amm feeling glad he is back on his meds

I am ok , a bit overwhelmed and not sure what to do next

Hi @bipolarbunny I'm glad you've enjoyed your respite over the last week or two and been productive with your writing.

I've been sliding into depression. My gp has been helpful with a mental health plan for a psychologist.,a taxi concession application (poor eyesight) and meds to help fix my sleep cycle. I don't think there's a pill to fix despondency and social isolation, but I know I need more sunshine and exercise. There seems a gap between the wishing and the doing for so many things at the moment, ranging from chores to hobbies to bucket list. I'm not on NDIS and don't know how to arrange support privately. I suspect there's a query over depression or dementia or just needing a kick up the proverbial re. accepting responsibility for self care. It's not easy when my brain feels like cotton wool or marshmallow when trying to speak, the keyboard is slow but somehow a bit easier.

Warm wishes to all forumites with your own struggles

Dimity

@Bunniekins wishing you huge amounts of luck and good medicine for your admission, I'm so glad you're getting care and attention. .I'll miss your cheery posts. Take care and get better, it's your turn to be looked after.

Love, Dimity.

@DimityAwww thanks sweetheart. I will miss all my friends too but hopefully will be back on board a happier and calmer self with a non shakeing hand. Take care. Love peaxxx

Will be thinking of you @Bunniekins dont forget your big girl pants and lots of chocolate 🍫🍿🍰 a favourite perfume or lipstick something quick to put on or use for when you feel down and need a little lift. Take care 🌹

@Dimity I'm glad you're GP has gotten you a mental health plan, I hope your psychologist is really helpful. Might be an idea to ask him/her about the NDIS. My psychologist is the one that helped me get on it, I didn't even know what it was. They can help you with all types of support.
I can identify completely with the gap between the wishing and the doing. I get that often too. And my depression is always worse in winter as well. Definitely not easy to get motivated to do things when your brain isn't cooperating and you feel lousy.
I hope your new meds work, I just started on new meds for sleep too. My anxiety seems to be worse some nights and I can't nod off. So hope these will help.
I wish you well my friend, let me know how you get on with your Tdoc. Big hugs xx
