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!

Hi Guys,

Sorry i really need someone to talk to. I'm hvaing major anxiety issues today and all i want to do is cry but i cant because im at work.

Just everything that i have been dealing with lately has made me emotions boil over and i cant cope with it.

i dont know what to do or how to get over it.

Hi @Pem 🙂

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a difficult day today.

I'm wondering if it's safe to, would you feel comfortable sharing what's been going on for you lately?

Warmest,
PizzaMondo 🙂

P.S. What time will you finish work today?

Hello @Healandlove

How are you going my friend ❤️

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hi @PizzaMondo

I just feel like I'm going to break. I don't know what the meaning is for me to be here.

I hate myself. I don't know how to love myself.

I just don't know about anything anymore.

Sorry I don't mean to be so down.

Sincerely apologise 😔

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hi @Pem

There's no need to apologise for being down... we all get that sometimes, and that's what the forums are for; a place to share without judgement.

Hope you start feeling better soon 🙂

Hi @tacocat

I hope i do too. I'm getting exhausted from consantly putting upa brave and happy face.

People always tell me about how im a happy and cheery person but yeah thats all just a facade.

And i'm getting tired. i dont know how long i can keep it up for.

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hey @Pem - I can relate to just how exhausting the constant masking can be. It really sucks that you have to keep it up all the time. Is there anyone with whom you feel safe to be able to be open about everything you're enduring?
