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!

@Shaz51 , I'm OK. Had a lovely Mother's day. I hope everyone spent the day in the best way possible. I won't be able to join the group chat tonight unfortunately but I hope it provides a comforting place for everyone attending, as I know it will. Love you friend. Hope things are in a stable place with Mr Shaz. ❤️❤️❤️

Hey there @Healandlove 🌺🙂

thank you kindly - I really appreciate your post 💜🫂

Still sorting the ventilator issues, but hopefully they will refund me and I can go buy another brand.

Thank you so very much for your words regarding being a peer guide…I very humbly and gently appreciate it 🙂🫂🌺💜

not sure how else to express how much your words mean to read, besides saying thank you again 🌺🙂

I hope you’re doing ok?
Thinking of you and if I could I’d come sit and have a cuppa and a natter 😊🌺

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hey there @Shaz51 🤗🌺💜

thank you kindly Shazzie, really appreciate it dearest 💜💜

it’s a bit worrying at night, but I’ve got the oxygen concentrator connected in via a T-junction very close to the mask and so that is a bit of reassurance, and I’ve connected up a pulse oxymeter that has a vibration option that alerts if oxygen drops 🙂

otherwise, I’m doing my best to not be too stressed by the thought that it might not work the entire night… just have to focus on what I can control, and do my best to mitigate the remainder..🙂

not to worry Shazzie, all will work out, I’m sure of it 🌺💜☺️

I hope you’ve been doing ok💜

Always thinking of you 🌺💜🫂

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hey @Shaz51 I too had a cry this morning for my mum in heaven although it’s been 20 years, been through so much over those years and have missed her support. Grateful to all the women in my life including you and @tyme for the moments you have lifted my spirits. Would have been nice to hear from my girl yesterday but sadly not. So many missed mother daughter moments 😞. A beautiful call from my son lifted my spirits as did the three txt messages he sent me throughout the day.
