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!

Hey @Daisydreamer Feeling pretty emotional these past 2 days. Mental Health Tribunal yesterday for my girl with the decision to go ahead with further ECT's as she has been deteriorating and will be spending another Christmas in hospital. Treatment started today and have felt sick to my stomach not being able to be there as she is still refusing any contact with me. Miss her so much and praying her condition improves.

Re: Daily Check In Space

Sorry I pop in so irregularly. My days are full on and I don't have much energy between work and caring for hubby.
You are all such survivors! Finding strength from each other and incredible personal resilience. I sometimes wish I didn't have to go down this path in life and have to always be so strong. But this my life, and I believe it's for a good purpose.

So hang in there everyone. You are hero's ❤️🙏💪🏼
