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

It is hard and scary advocating @Bunniekins. We will be there holding your hand tomorrow all the way. We won't let it go until you are ready. I had my boys last week. Very difficult but it's over now. You can do this. You are such a good Mumma. Like dear @outlander said please let us know how you go tomorrow ❣️

Perhaps a cup of sleepy tea might help and then a good night's sleep will follow?

Love you pea x

Re: Daily Check In Space

She was very unprofessional @Bunniekins

The coordinator said she hadn't had a similar experience in her time (many years).

So in saying that I feel confident you won't experience the same.

Is it his review that you are having.

*Sipping in a tea with you too x

Hello gorgeous sister @Shaz51 ❣️🤗

Re: Daily Check In Space

@Anastasia sorry to hear that you had a dud. son2's psychiatrist dumped him after 3 years with a letter .... so unprofessional.....I was furious. son2 has been put with the public system. We wont be meeting his psychiatrist but with the team .... there is a waiting list of 6 months.... I am hoping with son2's obvious needs they will rush him through the system and he will be seen earlier.
