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!

Re: Daily Check In Space

@cloudcore feeling weary,

Probably a 5/10.

Have some stress and concerns around family.

New job is going great but I really should have pursued some part time opportunities. Can see potential for classes coming up with darling and support network I am relying on to make my full time job possible. Constantly walking on eggshels at home and with family.

Loving my new job then feeling guilty for not being at home to take care of stuff, then feeling resentful about feeling guilty about having a job. Confused much...

Feeling like a 2/10 today.

Can't shake the feeling we are headed for another crisis. And in case that was not bad enough storm is brewing with extended family. Don't have the capacity for another family war. Still have not fully recovered from the last one.

For me I am feeling a 5 I think @cloudcore , a bit overwhelmed, overthinking , tired of the heatwave we are having

I did do a few things around the house

and something nice is sitting in bed with a cuppa and relaxing

Hi there @Shaz51 @Boo13

I’m feeling about an 8/10 today

Struggled a little with my attention being split on multiple things at a time AND done well by following through with a selfceare activity this afternoon.

One nice thing is to pick up the ‘to-do’ list tomorrow.

In response to: Re: Daily Check In Space
