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!

@outlander

Wish I could help. Know you are loved here.

@Bunniekins

Glad the S2 session went alright, but it is important that your concerns are also met. Wish I could make the system work better. Different inputs from workers make a difference. Wish they could get creative.

Gently Bently

I had 4 hours of paid care today (I hour counselling with son's therapist and 3 hrs spt wkr). I also got a lot done. Opened aircon vents and switched it on for first time since winter. Admin, guerilla, physio and my gardens. Cooked healthy din and leftovers.

Big day tmrw for my son.
