Daily Check In Space

Daily Check In Space

Hi Friends, Family and Carers

Caring for loved ones living with complex mental health issues can be really challenging, and the carer's experience can often be overlooked and/or difficult to talk about day to day. We have created this space so that those feelings, challenges and accomplishments can be heard, and to promote carer's wellbeing and self-care.

To participate, here are 3 questions for your daily check in:

1) How are you feeling?

You can use a scale of 1-10 (1= really bad , 10= really good), if you would like to.

2) What is one thing you have struggled with, and one thing you have done well?

3) What is one nice thing you can do for yourself today?

You're welcome to check in daily, or how ever often you need to! Please just remember to be respectful and kind to each other as each of our experiences are so different.

Feel free to tag any carers you know in this space!

Hello @Shaz51

How are things going for you?

I'm on my usual Tuesday off today, had lots of errands to run, buying Christmas presents to post to the grandkids interstate.

My husband turned 60 last week so we celebrated with his cycling group at a morning tea today.

My oldest son had a mishap on his motorbike on the weekend, he slipped on some loose gravel from Council works on the road as he was braking for a corner. It was hot so he'd refused to wear his safety gear that morning and said 'I'll be careful' to me. He's had a hard lesson in the nature of accidents: no one knows when they're going to happen and it's not always that you did something wrong/made a mistake. So he's missing skins on his leg/elbow/hand from friction burns/heavy grazes - I took him to the ED after it happened. Nothing broken, he will recover. But his motorbike is fairly damaged, and he has to grow some new skin again. I had to dress his wounds this morning poor mite, so painful for him.

Currently sitting in a hospital waiting room waiting on our little one who is undergoing tests under anaesthetic.

All routine and no complications expected but 15min passed when we thought he would be out so 😬

Aaaand have a 3+ hour drive home to look forward to yet 😴

Hi @Determined,
Such a big day for you and your family. Hoping test results go okay, and that you all get some time to rest after a busy day

Re: Daily Check In Space

Well little man has woken up but he is quite distressed so discharge may take a while 😥

Can hear him crying from outside.

Face masks are a bonus at times like this.

No significant concerns that we are aware of, just a little emotional seeing him suffer.

Face masks are a bonus at times like this.

And we will likely have to do it all again in 3 months. (Find that out in 2 weeks).
