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

You are allowed to feel whatever emotion is present for you @Shaz51, no apologies necessary. Has the OT explained the need for the chair at a later date? Perhaps she will be more open to hearing it from the source, but I'm sorry things are sounding tricky to navigate at the moment 💜

Hello @Former-Member , @hanami ❤

I rang the OT and she talked to me and then mum about the chair

I told her about the bed

After the phone call mum got verrrry angry to me 😪

Re: Daily Check In Space

Great idea @Former-Member . Probably better to come from the OT themselves.

Making home-made sausage rolls for dinner tonight @hanami , @Former-Member

And Mr shaz and I are planning to go do some photography tomorrow, hoping I still feel like going anywhere

Yummy @Shaz51 ! Perfect day for sausage rolls down my way, so chilly! Though I'm vego so I'll have some vegetarian ones please lol.

I really hope you still do photography tomorrow. It's so therapeutic to get out and take photos. Kept me going during the lockdowns last year.
