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

I’m at 5
I’m struggling with not hearing from my daughter….I have tried to reach out to her by sending loving messages….she hasn’t replied.
I’ve talked to my friend about it and listened to her struggles as well.
We shared a hug when we said goodbye.

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hey @Aleah , when I wasn't well with my mental health, I did not speak to my parents for a long time. Not because I hated them, but because I needed space to find myself and recover.

I'm not sure of your situation, but stay hoping. Hope is what keeps us all going. I hear it is hard now, but within the darkness are glimpses of light.

We are sitting with you.

Hi @Aleah I’m sorry your daughter isn’t responding. I’m in hospital right now and haven’t told my mother, nor have I communicated with her recently. It’s just too hard. I’m sure your daughter will respond when she’s ready

Take care 🩵

Hi there
I am feeling 8. But, feeling some anxiety.
I am out of rehab recently. My housemate is leaving for work for a few weeks. I like my own company but worry I will lapse and disappoint my family. I have made my bed lol.

Hi @Shaz51 , I'm thinking an 8...taking two points off because I asked husband to get a toilet commode for my daughter and first he went on a bit about me not giving him adequate instructions....I had a FFS moment and rolled my eyes. I've been busting my butt all day making sure she is okay in between working and just one thing was asked of him. OMG. Besides that, it's been great to have my baby home. And it's all uphill for her from here.
