I can’t cope

So glad to see you on the chat @Captain24 . And yes, you made it to the end!

Sorry for laughing, but I had to laugh about your clothes. That's the poverty of living alone. We don't need to care who sees our underwear and how many holes it has.

Just like it doesn't matter what your bed looks like in the morning, in the arvo or at night...

Just like it doesn't matter how many dishes you leave in the sink because no one is there to judge...

Welcome to my world!

That’s ok @tyme. Single life reality! I don’t care and there’s nobody here to care!

I have to make my bed when I’m there. I make my bed here once a week. That’s when I change the sheets and doona cover.

Did you take note of the last line in that post? I just haven’t heard anything?

Which part @Captain24 ? "Did you take note of the last line in that post? I just haven’t heard anything?"

Sorry, I must have missed something?

Doesn’t matter. @tyme I was thinking about that other stuff.

"They might learn the hard way and it’ll be too late. " This line @Captain24 ?

Hey, you've got an admission to work up to @Captain24 . You and I both know that... right?

Sorry to love but leave you. Will catch you tomorrow?

It was the post before. That I’ll be more organised and less stressed if I have to go anywhere again. @tyme. It doesn’t matter. Don’t worry. I’m not making any sense. Told you my head was all over the place. I’m just scattered

Nah, all good. I think it's called... "stress"? Happens to the best of us @Captain24

Catchya tomorrow!

I was driving to work at 5:30 this morning and my phone rings. It’s mum dad’s in hospital and she wanted to go pick up the car. All good I rang work and said I’d be late.

My back is really sore today. I can’t sit, can’t stand, can’t do anything. It’s really messing with me. It’s getting me even more down. But I got sent home because of the pain.

I ring mum and tell her not to pick up the dogs that I was on my way home. As I’m driving home my phone rings. They a shipping dad off to a bigger hospital. He has gall stones.

I had to rush around and find bags for mum to take as it’ll probably be an overnight stay if not longer. I gave her a bag that I need to pack. They need it more than me. I don’t know what I’m going to do. But they should be home. I hope they will be home.

So them being away I need to take mums dog. Which is fine her and Jett will just play. They look after mine all the time.

A good thing about being sent home from work is that I am not putting any lives at risk at work. I can’t do anything risky. I can’t do anything dangerous. On my way to work it was really busy so I just put cruise control on and followed the car in front. Being so busy I was more alert. On the way home I was the only car on the road so trying to stay focused was difficult. But I did read the signs out loud.

Im still really scattered. But at the moment I’m overwhelmed but not feeling as out of control. It would be great if I can stay that way. I have taken a lot of prn to try and bring down the mania. Now that I figured out what it is I think maybe I can pull it back together. I’m hoping that I can do it before anything bad happens or I do anything. I’m feeling pretty scared.

Hi @Captain24

It's been a big morning!

I'm glad to hear that you're not currently feeling out of control and that you're taking actions to try to maintain this. If you do start to feel you need additional help maintaining this what are some supports you can reach out to today?

You're doing so well and working so hard to get through this period
