I can’t cope

Good afternoon @Captain24

So glad your dogs will be well cared for. At least one thing that you don't have to worry about.

I hope today is going well for you.

I don’t even know if they have been fed properly @Snowie. Mum measured pixies food and there was more than there should have been. I’ll be finding a new pet sitter for the next time I come in.

Today has been better. One of the facilitators had a chat to me before groups and helped me with how to say I need some space in a really good manner. So that was awesome of her. I asked how do I I hear what was said and she said she would help me unpack it if I needed to. But I think I’m starting to work through it. Just knowing how to set boundaries has help immensely so I don’t need to hear any more.

Im out having a smoke now and she is out here and I’m doing ok!

Its just turned really cold here. It’s been so beautiful all day. I was sweating so much after our beach walk and now I have a tracksuit on. I’m loving the really warm weather and beach walks.

How are you going with being home? I leave next Friday. So I have a week left.

Heya @Captain24 !!!

Hugs to you this day 🙂

Hey @tyme

Hows things?

I'm okay. I've come to the point that Iv'e just let go of things I know I can't change. I've been better since.

I didn't sleep too well last night.. but that's also okay coz I'll make up for it today.

I read that you had a pre-group session today which was good. They sound so helpful. I'm really glad you took up the challenge to make this time for yourself.

I'm honestly so proud of you.

We had a team meeting at sane the other day, and someone mentioned you as something to celebrate in that you have really reached out beyond your comforts to ask for help. We collectively shared this celebration. We are all so proud of your achievements.

At least you know that they will be well cared for now @Captain24 with your mum. Perhaps one less things to worry about now.

I'm so glad today has been better hon. Learning how to set boundaries around others is such a good thing. Regardless of who it is with, it is a really good skill to have.

It sounds like you have settled in there and things are starting to go better which is really good to hear. The beach walks sound so therapeutic and nice. Such a good thing to have within your day.

Just trying to settle back into mum mode here. Been cleaning and cooking up a storm!! Have to go back into the hospital tomorrow morning for a session of ECT, but at least I get to come home afterwards 😁

I really hope this next week goes well for you hon and it helps in the long run. Yes there are always ups and downs, but if you are able to grow from it, then it has been worth it.

I hope ECT goes well for you @Snowie. I’m glad you are settling back in. I’m a bit scared to go home which sounds strange. I have grown so so much in here.

It sounds like things have been a little hard for you @tyme. Sorry I have t had the capacity to be there for you.

Was the floor too hard ? 😜 Jokes aside I hope you do sleep better tonight.

They are amazing here. If and when I need to re-admit it will be here. All the horror stories I’m hearing are pretty scary. If I get accepted into stage 2 a few that have left may do it as well. So I’ll know people.

I can’t believe that you are all talking about me. In a good way. I feel even more supported by you all.

Nah, it's been hard, but nothing unbearable. I've moved past it and am in a really good place (if I get an early night tonight!) @Captain24

We are ALL so proud of you here at SANE - honestly. I told you you are part of us (whether you like it or not).

As I said, I had 5 PARCs admissions ranging from 2-6 weeks each. There's a time when you just know things will be onwards and upwards from there.

I’m glad you’re good @tyme

I know I will be back but it’s because I still have so much to learn. I have a really long way to go and I know that and I know that this is the place to help.

From what you have said it seems like it’s the middle ground between hospital and PARCS. I think! 🤔

That warms my heart a little to know that you all think of me. It’s a great little community to be a part of.

Hugs @Captain24

We are so proud of you.

I'm hopping off now but will catchya tomorrow
