Our coping toolbox 🧰

Hi @Shaz51 I’m going on my own. Have done this before but never gone to a country where they don’t speak English…

Thanks for the tag @Shaz51 - I love this thread!

Hello @Appleblossom , @Delicatessen , @tyme , @amber22 , @Whatsagoodname. @Captain24 , @Birdofparadise8 , @Dimity , @StuF , @Former-Member , @CrazyChick

Looking for some ideas 💡 to add something new to my Toolbox 🧰 😀

I'm probably not the man to ask right now @Shaz51 - not coping so well meself (on the inside at least)

But interested in other ideas!

I adjust my assemblage point on days when I feel off. It can dramatically improve your health and emotional wellbeing @Shaz51 I used to have a shaman do it for me but she had since passed so I had to research ways on doing it myself at no cost. You will see an overall improvement in how you feel

What is your assemblage point?: https://www.medicahealth.org/assemblage-point/

Read the text then scroll down to where it says female and male frequencies for an assemblage point audio: https://www.simonheather.co.uk/pages/assemblage.php

You will feel a lot better 🙂

Aww thank you 😊 @Former-Member xx

You can download the mp3 for female frequencies to your computer. I always feel better after doing my assemblage point. Only listen once, morning and night @Shaz51

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to share that I’m thinking of doing some voluntary work. Organisation requires application. It would involve being overseas. I have asked them about the real possibilities of me doing this work given that I have a mental illness and would need 6-12 months of medication with me.

I’ll keep you posted on how I go.

Thanks for all your support all - it really does mean a lot.

I can’t send updates when I’m away as my overseas server will be blocked.

Hi Everyone

I had my mum and sister over for pancakes and ice cream. It was a wonderful day.

My relationship has been a minefield. I’ve felt like I could walk from the relationship at any time. But when I hugged her both as she arrived and again when she left I felt real joy and warmth for her for the first time in a long time and gave her a good long squeeze. And it was reciprocated.

Then was the massive worry about my sister. She’s been deeply seriously depressed for quite some time (since March) and not working and that’s getting her down even more. She cried for a while about how she’s going. She told us that the serious mark that emerged on her cheek might be a melanoma but she welcome that as it would just help her pass.

Ive sine had a conversation with her whereby she assured me she not wanting to end her life but just doesn’t want to be here any more. I told her that I loved her and don’t think rash going to make any difference. I feel as though she’s lost in the woods and may not be able to find a way out. Her doctor has told her she functioning at 50% capacity at the moment.

In terms of coping her doctor has asked to write three journals using three pens. If things are bad she writes in red, if they are good she writes in blue. If they are neutral she writes in black. She is liking this approach. She told me she had a day of joy recently where she dreamed she had fallen in love.

She is happy to speak to me, but I feel powerless. Can anyone suggest anything more I should or could be doing? I love both my mum very much I think as well as my darling sister.
