Hey @GezzaP 🫶

Just stopping by to let you know I am here. I understand what it's like to self-isolate when you're in a shame spiral, and sometimes we do need that time alone to recalibrate... but know all of your parts are welcomed here without judgement. It must be tough managing hypomania, so I wonder how you can be kind to the part of you that spends money when they are feeling that way? 💛

I can’t seem to stop it @AuntGlow . I try to but can’t. I try and will keep trying. I have to learn to do something else instead like stay in bed. As I understand it the govt is proposing to tighten rules about subscriptions that would be a big help to me. But I get sucked in easily. I need to block ads on Facebook but don’t know how to do this. Will keep trying. Feeling so ashamed and stupid.

I had this year’s holiday @TAB and can’t afford one next year since I stuffed up my finances.

..I would see about how you can get get pension @GezzaP

I hear you, and I will remind you that you are not stupid at all, but I understand why that's coming up for you. 🫶 @GezzaP

Hmm, I wonder if there are people you can call in those moments? Or a self-care check-list you can put on your fridge? I can imagine something else that engages you would be helpful when you're experiencing impulsivity?

I don’t have any idea what a self care plan is @AuntGlow . I have only just had 2 appts with a psychologist. And don’t have another appt until January. I don’t have anyone who would tolerate me at the times of night when I am awake at when hypomanic. My sister has disowned me and doesn’t understand in any case. I guess I could try doing Spanish lessons online instead. I’m depressed now not hypomanic. Sleeping ok thankfully but very worried.

I’m not eligible for a disability pension and I’m not old enough to get the aged pension and all the concessions. @TAB

@TAB hey tabby, just browsing online here. Hope you're okay

@TAB hey tabby, still up here. How are you going ?

We could create one together, if you want? It's basically just a plan you can have listed/easily accessible when you are needing extra support @GezzaP. 🫶

How have your sessions been so far?

And I know, I am so sorry you and your sister still aren't talking... that would be so hard, especially right now.

I think Spanish lessons at night are a great idea!!

I understand why you might be worried, but we will be here to support and listen, okay? You're not in this alone. 💖
