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!

Thank you @Shaz51 . About to have dinner. I made a vegetable quiche with almond meal crust just because it's nice. It has been raining here all day long too. Hope you have a good rest my lovely friend.

Grief, loss. Can't accept the loss. Can't accept my husband has changed. Wanting him to improve from his cptsd faster.

Struggling with supporting him whilst keeping strong.

Go to bed early. Bought myself sleeping vitamins to help.
