Feeling upset

Feeling upset

Hi all,

Hope everyone's weekend is good and you are good.

I'm feeling upset & guilty today as my husbands eye condition is more than likely due to stress which I feel it's my fault as since with 1 of my latest diagnosis of bipolar he has had too carry all the load and try and think for himself plus for me

And then everything else my brother has done to my husband plus to me.

Tuesday he goes for a procedure which means I will have to drive home & my concentration is not good, I have to really focus that day.

Am saying positive things to myself and breathing to help myself.

One question is can you still drive if you live in NSW with bipolar?

I don't know what will happen if I am manic, I am starting to notice now when I am stressed I start hearing things (auditory voices, I think that's what they call it).

Re: Feeling upset

Arghhh.. shopping @Dk5 . Going to the shops stresses me out when there's too many people. I hardly ever go to the shops.. maybe 1-2 times a month?

Once in a while, I do these massive retail splurges and buy heaps of stuff online.. then by the time they arrive in the post, I don't even open them and just leave them in the packaged.

What are some of your other hobbies?

Re: Feeling upset

Hey @Dk5

I just wanted to jump in and give you some support.

I'd be upset too! Your glasses? and work gear?

What's going on? Have you reported it to anyone at work?

I am so sorry to read that you are having such a hard time at the moment.

It's good that you are reaching out for support and expressing yourself.

Would it help to call a support line and have a chat with someone?

I'll share a number below in case you feel like it...

They are an alternative to places like Lifeline and Beyond Blue..

ListenWell - Wellways

Call 1300 111 500

I'm sending you big virtual hugs and sparkles. I know that might not help but I want to let you know I hear you and am thinking of you.

I hope your day improves.

Hey @Dk5

I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I’m with @hopeful_hannah are you able to report it? I would be p!ssed off too. I probably add another word!

There isn’t much I can do for you but please know if you need to vent it out I am here to listen. Some times being able to yell it out to someone is helpful and I can be that person if you need.
