Ah ok, you silly thing. Just thought I would mention if you just wanted to get it checked out. Its hard living at home alone and flying solo. Sometimes we just need to calm the mind over stuff we have no control over @TAB. I sliced open my finger last year and wound up in a pop up clinic the government set up to capture after hours medical treatments with all this covid stuff putting pressure on the hospitals

Re: Good Morning!

@PeppyPatti I've done bachelor + 4th year in psych and then went on to Masters. Though it did take me longer to get through uni due to MH and more recently, my psych is starting to wonder if I have ADHD since my attention span is the size of a peanut 🤣. I haven't heard of the book before but may take a look. From the sounds of things, you have raised your oldest son well, he has gotten so far despite his struggles 🙂

I have met others who do have a lived experience in my course, I feel like we need more MH professionals with lived experience because it does bring another lens into one's work. Though lived experience can be a double edged sword too. You do have to make sure you are able to do lots of self-care and access supports when needed.

Hi @tonys I hope you are doing well 🙂

@creative_writer

Golly id'e grab any type of learning about myself, keep a journal and completely follow up with any type of help by the throat.....

 

I remember this so called highly respected Gp who refused to put me in antidepressants while

youngest son was dying from cancer

my oldest son hated me

coping with head injury and my step dad bullied me out of my home

He was Supporting keeping me in relationship with man beating me up

Working insane hours as a cleaner to pay for tutoring for my son

And she wouldn't research antidepressants for me

I went home, researched the antidepressants and went back and got her to put me on Effexor.

Stupid ..........

Anyways that's the past. You are a rock for other people to learn from. Only maybe one person, maybe two. You can make a difference.

Sorry to talk about my own personal issues

I'm well over all that time,

🌿🌿🌿

Re: Good Morning!

@PeppyPatti you have been through a lot 💖🫂, I'm sorry you had to go through all that.

I've had pretty rough moments myself. I am on 4 different types of medication for my mental health, I've just gotten outside of the rumination cycle too. I'm just hoping I can use my experience to help others, I want to move forward and not stay stuck living in another time and place. I want to create new meaning where my identity and life is not defined by where I have been

Re: Good Morning!

Hey there @Adge 🙂🌺

Thanks - I hope you’ve been doing ok these last couple of days?
Yes I agree it’s very challenging of talk about worth and value, while those being very important to resilience and recovery 🌺


hopefully the group participation is settling in? It does take time to see if there’s a good fit, doesn’t it 🙂

and I was hoping you’ve heard from a support worker too.

sounds like work is a bit difficult right now…would it be helpful to get in touch with the provider and ask them if there is any other work or participation that has routine for you to try?

holding hope with you 🌺🙂🤗

Re: Good Morning!

It is a lifelong struggle for me what worth and value means -

What about you ??
