Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

I'll be on for a while in the arvo tomorrow as well as the evening on Sunday - if that helps 🙂

Other mods will be on at other times.

Happy to talk tomorrow.

Have a restful evening. We'll chat soon.

Yes I would love to chat tomorrow or Sunday. I feel we haven’t had much opportunity to talk a lot lately @tyme

How's things @Birdofparadise8 ? Hope you're okay.

Hi @tyme

Just getting off the plane on my way home lots of turbulence today.

Mmm I think tonight will test me with how I go first time on my own for nearly a month.

Take care @Birdofparadise8 .

Would it help to go home and have a rest, then plan your weekend ahead?

I'm sure you'll need to go grocery shopping at some point. You can also go for brekkie/lunch. What are some other things you can schedule in to take your mind off a possible downward spiral?

Planning and following through is an active process. It requires energy to go beyond your normal ways of thinking.

If you lie there passively, I believe the negative thoughts will come. So what do you think you can do to actively turn your thoughts to something else? e.g. can you visit other threads on this forum and engage with other people, support other people, or even just sit with others here?

Mmm maybe I do need to go home and unpack and then go get some food.

Tomorrow will probably be a cooking day. Monday I have a GP appointment.

I’m not sure I’m at the capacity today to help people sorry to say @tyme.

hello and hugs @Birdofparadise8 😍

That's okay if you don't feel you have the capacity to support others @Birdofparadise8 . Even to engage with others is a start, or read along to what's happening for others.

At the same time, it sounds like you have a few things in place to keep you safe over the weekend.

So today, it's unpacking, getting food, maybe relaxing by watching/reading something?

Then Sunday is cooking and preparation day. What about some baking?

Then Monday is an appointment.

Tuesday is work.

Here's somewhat of a plan I can see.

I heard that turbulence was bad for a few flight routes today. Some even needing hospital care!

Yes sounds like a good plan.

Oh no really ours wasn’t that bad @tyme.

I think it’s more the week after next I’m worried about when I’m not working. Mum comes back over on Thursday for the Aus ballet.

Hi @Shaz51

How are you?

What are you doing this afternoon @tyme?
