Xx

Sorry for late reply, just catching up on my mentions!!

How was the rest of your afternoon? Sometimes connecting can be overwhelming. I just cancelled all my plans for the rest of the week because I could not cope with the reconnection. Have you tried to reach out to your friend?? They could be feeling the same way. Sometimes coming back into an old space can be unnerving.

What are you doing tonight??

Hey Lovely @EternalFlower

Making social connections can be so delicate. Glad you made a new friend. Maybe your old friend is exhausted from travel and is crashing and catching up on essentials.

Hugs to you and @Shaz51 @maddison

I am going away for a few days Have mixed feelings about it, but mixed feelings is my second name. Part of me just wants to go to bed, but I booked accommodation and music tix so I better get organised. It will be good for me.

Take care

Am ok thanks @Former-Member thanks for asking t

Hey @EternalFlower sounds like maybe you are having a down day? Sleep is so important - I can't function & feel low when my sleep is messed up. Then I feel low that I'm feeling down.

We can't control sleep either, I don't know - it's really hard mentally to battle.

Gosh things here have been tumultuous. Triage are involved again. Case manager is MIA - it's been over a week. Triage had previously been relying on cm to follow up. Lots of communication breaks. Very frustrating & exhausting for both of us. PRN meds dispensed since last night - housemate is far too sedated, at least he is calm. Another appointment first thing tomorrow. The problem (one of) is that without cm there is no continuity of care - he and I (mostly me) have had to explain the same story, circumstances over & over again to each new nurse! Of course this adds so much more pressure on him & I think he is feeling very let down & overlooked by the system. I think things are finally improving?! Lots of nurses involved now who all know that he is struggling. It's been a really big effort to get here.

If he gets attention from professionals he does much better - it's when the gaps happen - that I think he starts to feel really unsafe & struggles lots.

Maybe you are feeling similar about your friend? Waiting for text message to reply - it can be really disappointing & confusing.

The mistake that I made today - was that I didn't call - I was sending all these texts to his cm this morning - I felt so deflated that I got no response. Only to find out later - she wasn't even in today?!

Consider calling your friend, if she doesn't reply.

If she is there & didn't reply to your text on purpose - please consider letting her know it made you feel disappointed. I think it's ok to express our feelings. They are not right or wrong.

I watched a scary movie (for the 2nd time) called Hole In The Ground. It's very scary & also about mother's love for her son. I think it's Irish. It was on SBS.
