Anyone feel like chatting?

@Queenie

thatll be good for you, i hope they say you can study part-time.

when do you go into respite? i hope that goes well for you

im eh atm. just dealing with some shite... again or still whichever way you wanna put it

I hope everyone's day has been as ok as it can be 🙂 I've played a lot of games, watched tv and pretty much procrastinated from my To Do list! I'm bloody exhausted so will be heading to bed early I think. I've got a big day tomorrow with my friend.

hi @embers im good at procrastinating too lol

my day has been abit boring but im not doing so well tonight.

i hope tomorrow is a good day for you. make the most of it hey

Sorry to hear you're still dealing with so much shite, you've had a very big week haven't you?

I leave for respite on Monday and return about lunchtime Friday. I could have gone longer, but I'm hoping this will do the trick to get myself back on track. I phoned my psychiatrist's office and found out there is a locum relieving for him, so I left a message to call me back ASAP. I really need advice about going back on one of my medications I stopped taking a while ago. I feel like I made a mistake doing so and am worried about taking the full strength straight off. I probably have to taper up I'm guessing.

I also really hope the college will let me do another Diploma, this time part-time. All the other times have been part-time and I've ended up in hospital after relapses due to stress. I guess it is something to consider in the long-term. Otherwise, I really do enjoy studying.

Other big news is that the PHaMS organisation who said they lost my referral and had never even heard of me found my referral from the hospital from back in March. They want me to come in for an assessment ASAP. Hopefully, this means I will have a support worker again soon.

@outlander sorry to hear you're struggling.

@Queenie Nice to meet you. Just curious - when you say respite, is that in psych hosp. or something different? I only ask because it sounds like something I could use at times.

ive had a big week yes @Queenie

ive been out of hospital for only 2 weeks and im already relapsing- ive also jsut been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder as well.

thats a pretty good lengths stay, i kinda wish i had the chance to go for a week again. yeah before you go ask about your medications otherwise speak to one while your in respite. they can also monitor you will taking the full dose as well.

studying is pretty good, as long as you dont overwhelm yourself so lets hope you can do part time.

the assessment seems like a pretty good idea too, hopefully that mean a support worker for you again

i always seem to be struggling @embers its never ending esp recently so i guess im use to it

@outlander I dunno that you ever get used to struggling. It's bloody hard and exhausting 😞

sure is @embers and even more exhausting when everytime i try to get help from family i get called an attention seeker so ive learnt not to ask anywmore.

ive only been out of hospital for 2 weeks
