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!

So glad you're here @Shaz51 and able to reach out. Feeling low is hard to manage. Be gentle with yourself and accept the bad days. You are important and matter and very loved 🤗💚

"One step at a time is all it takes to get you there." - Emily Dickinson

It's ok to break things down or do things 5 minutes at a time. Each step is progressing and not staying stuck.

You got this @Shaz51 ✨️💚

Hi darling @Shaz51 Sorry you’re not feeling so good today and hope things have improved as the day progressed. It’s okay. Good days bad days, roller coasters of life. I’m actually listening to the rain falling on my roof for the first time in many months. Small blessings. Sitting with you. Krishna 🙏❤️🌹

Hi also everyone else 👋

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hi everyone,

Today I'm feeling about a 4.

My anxiety is high. I am struggling with worry about the present and future.

I also have a bad backache 😔.

Today I am going to do some deep breathing and take regular breaks from work. Perhaps even some light reading.

Wishing everyone a good Tuesday.
