I'm back

I'm back

Hi @NikNik @pip @Decadian@utopia@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@Shaz51@Former-Member @CherryBomb @Silenus moderators and friends

I knew i wouldn't last!! I need you all. who was i kidding. Hubby and I went camping for 4 days and we argued so much about how to put the tent up, which post to use, wrong post, right post, etc etc etc

I couldn't read my book that i bought because he kept talking to me. At the end i gave up. We did walk around the perimeter of the caravan park which took 1/2 hour (huge park). I managed to swim which that gave me some peace and quiet for a little while.

We just snapped at each other most of the time. And when we didn't snap we sat and hardly spoke. he is the type of guy that doesn't say much but i noticed even in the car driving up (3.5 hours) he wouldn't start a conversation. So i just looked up facebook and read the paper, or fell asleep.

The weather was beautiful (25-30 every day). But i realised that i need space to myself. We are home now and he is washing the car, I have just put a load of washing on. the kids survived without us and actually not even keen to see us 😞

My mental state is not that great. The CAT team rang me on saturday to make sure i was okay and asked about my sleeping. The psych i saw gave me some sleeping tablet but i am still adjusting and don't like the drowsiness it causes the next day. I did call them again on sunday afternoon but they had to transfer me to the place that i went to and i sadi no don't worry as hubby was coming back to me anytime and i couldn't speak while he was there.

I have an appt tomorrow to see the CAT team psych again, i also have an appt to see my own psych in the afternoon. it will be interesting to see what he has to say abut me seeing the CAT tem psych.

I knew i wouldn't last being off here, i just needed to tell someone about my weekend. And as for intimacy and sex - well there is none. And it's prob my fault because i told him last time in hospital back in July that i wasn't interested. which is still true but i am sure he would like to.

I feel like a failure for not being able to stay away from this forum, i always have good intentions, set myself a goal but never go through with it. that's where i see myself as a huge failure.

anyway, just thought i would say hi to everyone and that i have missed you all even though it's not even a week. how patethic is that.

Hi @BlueBay

I hear you @BlueBay

I think if you feel that bad you need to go to hospital

Or try to distract yourself by chatting on here

Have you eaten tonight and have you enough fluids today?

I wish I could help you more

What do you think would help you now?

Re: I'm back

Keep talking @BlueBay

Would taking a shower help and making yourself a cuppa

Re: I'm back

Nothing will help anymore. It's no use. In bed and can't sleep. I wish it was easy to call the CAT team but it's not. I just want out. I'm sorry.
No shower or cup of tea can't be bothered. Don't want to face the world anymore.

Re: I'm back

@BlueBay. Try not to focus on the behavior that has already happened. Its past. You can't change what you have done. But you can change what you do next.
We all have regrets. Some people with MI may well struggle with impulse control. And it can be hard to remember to breathe and calm down as much as possible before we react or speak.
But you are kind to others. You try not to hurt others. But you do hurt yourself a lot.
LifeLine or CAT could help when you are struggling the most. Or you can keep talking to us here.
I'm sorry you are struggling so hard.
What can you do right now - right this minute to refocus on?
A cup of tea. Making sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch. Having a shower. Knitting.
What can you do now?
I'm sending you a big long supportive hug.♥♥

Re: I'm back

Just cry @BlueBay. Ask hubby for a hug. If that's not suitable - maybe you can ask and ger a hug from one of your kids. Or you can hug Jersey.
You need to try and refocus. Keep trying. It will come.
I'm thinking of you and sending you my love. And I'll be here to chat with.

❤️ @BlueBay ..... sending you hugs as well ..... breathe .... these feelings will pass .... you need to wait them out.

Call Lifeline and tell them how you're feeling. Your kids are the point. Call the CAT team or Lifeline for them.

Hugs and more hugs .... you are worth it @BlueBay.

🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕

Re: I'm back

Sorry I went offline @BlueBay

Find a bodily position where you feel safe. I tend to rock a lot and curl up in foetal position. I emerge when I feel well again .. well often I need to do other things ... but eventually I can find my calm peaceful place inside.

Do you have a safe place in your home for when you are feeling like this? Hospital can be great for respite and to learn things.

I often just thought ahead to my next appointment .. only a couple of days.
