@Nala2022 I’m doing a mental health based course with the hope of becoming a mental health clinician. I’ve just recently started the course and have a long way to go, I’m studying part time. I managed the class okay, feeling wiped out and migraine is full force now.

@Meowmy sometimes it is about the small wins, it’s not always possible to bounce back from a rough day. I hope it stays settled, it’s just been chaotic recently. I feel better with PrN but I don’t want to have to keep taking it. I’ve already had med increases in the recent months, I just don’t want to be on more meds.

@GezzaP that is good the shops are walking distance, everything is far from my home. Glad to hear your back wasn’t too bad. I’m just going home now, it’s been a big day for me, I’ll need a lot of rest

I’m getting tired @creative_writer . Woke up so early only 3 hours sleep last night. Hope I can sleep tonight. Did you have a big day?

That sounds like such a meaningful path to be working toward, especially with your own insight and lived experience alongside it. I’m glad you managed the class okay, though I’m sorry the migraine has hit full force now and that you’re feeling so wiped out.

I hope you’re able to take it gently and get some rest after a big day @creative_writer

@GezzaP did you psychiatrist suggest anything for sleep?

My emotions have been heavy today, I’m feeling quite exhausted. I also had an afternoon class at uni.

@Nala2022 I’ve been wanting to go into mental health for a long time. I’m currently not seeing any clients, I’m taking the course slowly. I want to work on myself before I have a client load.

@Meowmy we need more mental health clinicians with lived experience. I hope today has been a better day for you 💖

Psych has told me to read when I wake up in the night but it’s hard to go back to sleep when you’re wide awake @creative_writer . Well at least you got to your class. Rest up, eat something you’ll feel better. Maybe go to bed early. I reckon I’ll be in bed by 8.30.

Re: Saturday Soiree -- 9th May 2026

That sounds really thoughtful and self-aware. Taking the course slowly and wanting to focus on your own wellbeing first shows a lot of insight, and I imagine that will only strengthen the kind of mental health professional you become in the future 😊 @creative_writer

@creative_writer hey creative writer, thank you for your kind sound response.

Re: Saturday Soiree -- 9th May 2026

@GezzaP can you try an easy read? I would imagine some books might not be ideal just before bed. I’m not home yet and will eat once I get back. I usually go to bed early, around 9:30ish.

@Nala2022 I was worse earlier this year. My psychiatrist was concerned about my safety. I’m just going slowly right now. Managing bipolar isn’t easy along with complex trauma. I have other diagnoses too, like eating disorder, I’m neurodivergent, I’m complex. I just hope I can get to a better place.

@Meowmy are you up to much tonight?
