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!

How are you going @Determined ?

I am in a lull at the moment. Just keeping busy, setting my sails for the next storm ….

Slowly sinking here @Faith-and-Hope

3 weeks of.work then some time off until mid Jan.

Have a ton of around the house stuff to catch up on and hopefully get some in home support organised so FIL can come home from hospital. Ideally Darling would sort that but she is struggling to keep herself afloat so it is all on me :face_with_rolling_eyes:

❤️ @Determined …..baby steps huh ? Overwhelm can bring on inertia. The only way I know to keep going is to do something small, then another something small, then another something small ….. pebbles in a jar.

That about sums it up @Faith-and-Hope

Chip away and it is amazing what we can achieve.

Have been challenged again recently to work on my heart response. Thankful rather than resentful. We have much to be thankful for 💙
