Something’s not right

Help. Please.

Help. Please.

Anyone else cracking open a bottle at 3 in the afternoon? Feeling shitty. I don't even know why really, just been feeling shitty alot lately. I shouldn't have started drinking, just one I tell myself, just one because I have to function tonight when my boy comes over... i just want to go to drink and pass out. Anyone around?

Thank you. Yes it really is.

Its what I'm working on, taking a leap back. I've always done things like that but he needs to. Spoke to my therapist and it's not been doing either of us any favours.

So from here on I'll be there holding his hand but he'll do it, whatever it is. So proud of him, it's sorted and his car is now registered. Off to buy his paper and have his wounds dressed @saltandpepper

#winning again 😁

That's fantastic @Anastasia and the more he continues to do those things the easier it will get for him. Will also help him with confidence and feeling good about taking control of his life. Good on him. Must be incredibly difficult for you to take a step back, you're doing an incredible job. Hope the therapist is a good support for you through this.

How is he healing up?

Re: Help. Please.

Just clocking this in for myself to keep track of. Know I've written about it somewherr on the forums but can't remember where.

Had hallucinations again through the night/early morning. Not 100% sure what brought it on since I've been getting more sleep lately. Hasn't bothered me before when I've had them, got a bit anxious with it last night. Couldn't tell that some of them were hallucinations this time. But I'm sure they were since there were some I could identify as hallucinations--example being thinking my son was in the room when he obviously couldn't have been. Normally when the realisation clicks that it's not happening that's the end of it, but even though this time I knew my son wasn't in the room it still continued on. Unsettled me a bit.

Maybe it's something I need to start keeping track of, so yeah, gonna start paying more attention there

Hallucinations arghh, I hear you. A diary is a great idea. Just to monitor, discuss if the need be. Sorry last night was bad.

My boys are worse when he's stressed or has been drinking.

@saltandpepper

Wounds are infected but getting there. There is no doubt they will s car. Told him he'll be a motivational coach one day I think and to get a tattoo to encompass them to talk about. 😃

No time out, place is a bomb as I need to sort it. I'm happy to ti do that. It'll make me feel better. Time for time out after that ☺️

Look after you ok, my orders 😃

Re: Help. Please.

@Anastasia Yeah I was wondering if the alcohol made it worse--perhaps mixing with medication? As long as it sticks to being a night thing it'll be fine.

Yeah poor bugger, hope they heal up alright. Love that idea @Anastasia the best thing that comes from going through shit is being able to help someone else through theirs. Yeah get a tattoo mate, you get one too @Anastasia

house will just get messy again, eh, take 5. It'll still be messy in 5 minutes time. You can't tell me to take care of myself if you're not gonna

Aw good onya @Anastasia haven't been on a bike years. Well tried out my sons balance bike one time but that ended badly.
