@Shaz51 hi there 🙂

Hope you're having a nice day. It's warming up here in the 'Vegas, 37 today and 40 by the end of the week. I am thanking the good Lord I have air con in my car again! (Of course it would be wonderful to have it in the house also but I am not complaining right now!)

Much love and hugs

xoxo

@creative_writer My mum had bipolar and my dad had GAD and depression. I have a lot of it in my aunts/uncles and cousins.

My childhood and teen years were difficult and my sister bullied me as well. Sorry I’m feeling so negative today. I’m very stressed and tired. Refuse to nap because I want to sleep at night. If I try to meditate I will fall asleep. Maybe 10-20 minutes would be ok.
I’m sorry to hear you are struggling. My psychiatrist puts my appts through to medicare too.

@heartathome No plan as of yet. One of the peer support workers on here said they would help me work on that but I can’t find that message which I’m sure I flagged. Haven’t heard anything back today. Will speak to psychologist about it if i can get over my shame and embarrassment in January when he comes back from paternity leave. Couldn’t talk to my psychiatrist yesterday about it as she made no suggestions last time it happened.

hope you’re ok

Re: Fancy a cuppa , Connect now 2

I am in a foul mood today @rav3n . Had to fill in two forms which I hate. Then worked some more on my financial mess which I created when I was last hypomanic. Need a plan to stop doing this spending. Exhausted after 2 hours of this. Couldn’t face cooking lunch (usually my main meal).

At least I had a pleasant walk it was cloudy and cool this morning. Was cool with a breeze until 11am. Did exercises and Spanish lessons. Tired and hungry. Having a drink now.

@GezzaP the impacts of sibling bullying is overlooked. I hope you are able to have an early night tonight.

It's tricky, I don't want to go to hospital, but maybe my meds need to be changed? I would rather do it out of hospital if possible, though I do acknowledge the risks of mood de-stabilisation

Re: Fancy a cuppa , Connect now 2

Maybe with your depression being so severe @creative_writer you need to go into hospital. I understand you don’t want to (I hate them too and I would have to ask my neighbour to feed my cat and I know he is going away to the opera at some point).

At least you don’t have to cook ha ha. I hate cooking just for me unless I’m manic. I have an iron gut and can eat anything except coconut. I’m allergic to penecillin too another inherited disease like high blood pressure.

Re: Fancy a cuppa , Connect now 2

@GezzaP I am going to wait and see what my psychiatrist says. A private stay often has waiting periods and I would have to increase my insurance. My psychiatrist would be the best person to talk to on what to do moving forward. I can't exactly progress much further in therapy because the depression is pretty intense right now. I see my psychiatrist in the new year.

I don't mind cooking, I prefer cooking my own meals because I can control and make sure I don't add a trigger food. My gut is super sensitive, I have gut dybosis. I have been tested, but I have been told that I might have SIBO which is an overgrowth of bacteria. I have ton of food intolerances, but I guess hospitals cater for them

Morning @creative_writer . I’m awake very early today. Lovely and cool here this morning. Thinking of going for a walk directly. If you change your insurance policy be sure to check waiting times for pre-existing MI conditions.

Hello @GezzaP

I’ve also been hypomanic lately and spent too much on TEMU and my kindle. It’s sooo hard to resist the dopamine hit from a few new T shirts or a new ebook when the money is electronic and doesn’t feel real. Good luck fixing your problems. 🙂
