I can’t cope

Hi @Captain24 , still concerned for you with all you have put on yourself to achieve in the next 2 days. I hope your neck is OK and that you can cope OK... Sending wishes for you...

@Captain24 hoping you get what you want done today.

Baby steps hon...

I can’t do today… I just can’t do anything 😥

Hey @Captain24

I'm sorry to hear that today is a hard one for you. Did you want to have a chat about anything?

You aren't alone right now, I'm sitting with you ❤️

I just have nothing @amber22. I have so much to do in the coming days. I just have no energy. That’s my fault though, I’ve done that to myself.

I went and had bloods done this morning and I went in tracksuit pants and an old top, with no shower. It’s all I could manage. The nurse looked at me with pity when she saw the tests were for my ED and bipolar. That didn’t feel good. Because I had them done at the hospital the results will be in this afternoon. I’m hoping I don’t get a call from my GP.

I have done a couple of things. I would just go back to bed but I haven’t put the sheets on it yet.

I just can’t do it. I’m sitting on the lounge sound nothing. I don’t even have the tv on. All I want to do is curl up in a ball, cry and disappear.

I’m not coping at all @NatureLover.

How are you going? Any plans for Christmas?

I know its hard @Captain24 but just focus on one thing at a time. If I look too far ahead I get overwhelmed.

Hey @Captain24

Oh that sounds so tough, I'm so sorry it's so challenging today. I am really proud of you for going to get your bloods done and getting some things done this morning, those are massive wins for the day already. If that's all you can manage to do today, that is completely fine, please remember that every single day looks different and that some days you will be able to manage more than others.

It might be a good idea to pop the TV on or maybe some music or a podcast? Something to have on in the background even if you aren't paying attention to it, just for some background noise? Only if you feel like it.

Crying and letting out how you are feeling actually sounds like a really good idea to release it. But do what you feel you can and want to do today, it's completely okay to have a write off day and do absolutely nothing. Sometimes I think that those days are actually the most helpful in our journeys.

Sending you lots of hugs ❤️

Well done for going and getting your bloods done this morning @Captain24 i know how hard that can be! And yeah…. It’s hard when they have clinic notes written on the pathology request form.
I go to a little pathology clinic attached to my gp clinic, they have a permanent staff member there, so after a while it got easier and she became a huge support - she now moved over to a receptionist position at my gp clinic- which is good, but am having to get use to a new pathology lady. They would get all sorts of requests I guess… but it’s still hard!

can you keep yourself busy? Put some music on? I know it’s hard, but it does help.

I’ve been keeping myself busy with my

watercolours. Can I paint you something? A fav quote? Make a list like @jynx did and I’ll surprise you!

So sorry you're not coping @Captain24 😥

You did amazingly to go and get your bloods done rhis morning.

I'm wondering what you can offload... Could you offload Christmas Day at your house? Tell your parents you're not coping and they need to have it elsewhere?

Sending wishes... 💙
