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!

Not easy to do when we are brought up to put ourselves last.

Am Delicate @Bunniekins

Had a difficult conversation with the one I care for. Things will be delicato for next few weeks at least .... oh wait, they have been at crisis level since beginning October.

@Appleblossom I am sorry to hear that :(. Can you go for a walk around the block? Is there a quiet park near by where you can listen to nothing?

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hugs and much virtual support for you @Appleblossom Trying my hardest to hold it all together and taking it moment by moment. My new Mantra which I repeat often to myself throughout the day is "Smile Breathe and Go Slowly". This is seeing me though. Trying also to let go of my suffering because I, as all of us are, so much more than that. Wishing for you peace of mind, calm and contentment 🙏❤️
