not feeling good

Hi @CheerBear and @BlueBay

Yes the forums has been down for about 40 minutes. We have fixed the problem now - touch wood. Sorry about the outage.

You are feeling horrible @BlueBay - that's easy to understand

But you are more than your job - what about little A - you are a Nonna too and I remember my grandmothers with great love - they were important people in my life

Atm you seem positive you won't get another job - that's not proven yet

Just give yourself time to recover - that's enough right now

Sending 💜💙❤

Hi @Owlunar

yeah I think I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps. I miss my job the girls I worked with. But it's ok.
I slept well last night after increase in med. I just completed art therapy and normally I wouldn't attend. But I thought I would tiday. I painted my paper with oranges and browns. Then we had to draw pictures and put in the painting. I drew a tree and then got emotional. I walked out and one nurse saw me and came to chat. I told her I'm feeling really dumb because I can't draw. After 5 mins I went back in snd completed my painting. It turned out ok.
it is amazing how doing something like painting affected me emotionally.
I'm going to go fir a walk later.
reg work - I'm nit giving myself time. I need to sort myself out first.
actually on the weekend I saw a friend who manages the register girls at my local IGA supermarket. I mentioned I've got no job and she suggested to come in and see her snd she could possibly give me a job.
do you know I'm thinking that might be perfect. Close to home I know a lot of the girls znd I go in fo my job snd go home. And I'll see most of the pharmacy customers.
im seriously thinking of doing that.
I think I'm feeling a bit better. I'm waiting to see the social worker.
good class after lunch today with a good counsellor.
I got a phone call before from local public hospital about doing ACT therapy. Two hours a week for 8 weeks. Looking forward to that.
overall I'm plodding along. Still having my emotional days.
i

hope you are ok. I often think of you.

Hey @BlueBay

It was lovely reading your post. You sound a little chirpier. Art therapy can be cathartic bringing out emotions.

I have been swimming today, I saw my psychologist and my head was in a fuzz, then I went for a swim and felt so much better.

Much love Angels333 xxx

hello and hugs my sister @BlueBay

no work for us today , wow soo much rain

Thinking about you @BlueBay 🧡💛💚💙💜❤

That sounds really positive @BlueBay . I am really proud of you and your efforts xx

Hi @BlueBay

I hope your interview with the social worker went well and also it sounds are there are job opportunities around - remember - we can't see the future and never know what will happen that will be a good thing

Don't worry about not being able to draw - I can't - and I can't wrap presents either - it's a family joke by now - we all have things we can't do for lack of skills -

All you have to do right now is give yourself time - we spend time in a psyche hospital because we are feeling so vulnerable - and scared - and we are emotionally wrecked - you are in the right place at the right time - all you need to do is to be - and breathe

But it's not easy - I know from my own past

Hi again my friends @Owlunar @Molliex @Angels333 @Shaz51 @MDT @Former-Member @Gazza75 @Zoe7 @CheerBear and others following

just saw my psych and I'm staying until end of next week.

he asked how I am and I told him I'm very flat. Gets worse as the day goes. And I don't care about snyghing and tired.
He is increasing one of my meds

I had a psychologist see me today snd I told her about art therapy and how I got upset. I showed her the painting and she said she could see do much mixed emotions in my painting. She showed me where and when I looked at it i agreed. it was interesting once she explained it.
Did some washing today and now I'll watch some tennis. My daughter and A came in this morning for a coffee. Little A is chstting so much. Telling me stories of her days at hime. She makes me laugh so much with her words and expression on her cute little face.
Wishing you all a good night.
love BB ❤️❤️❤️
