Re: not coping

I’m ok @outlander and thanks for asking. I am very nervous for tomorrow but will just put on my happy face again and deal with it.

How are you?

Re: not coping

Totally ok tobe nervous @Eve7 you sound well supported and have prepared as much as possible too. Itll take time to adjust to a new normal so try not to stress 💜

Re: not coping

A long, busy day again @outlander but I'm feeling good.

I snaffled a good couple of second hand bargains this morning. I picked up a reverse cycle ac for just 50 dollars!! And also a second hand fridge.

The woman I met about the fridge was super lovely, and we chatted really easily. Somehow the topic got onto mh, and she asked if I was on the NDIS. I said I was, and she is having all sorts of issues with using it for her daughter. She doesn't know what to do or how to do things, so I've offered to come back and help mentor and support her. So that's 4 people now I'm looking after. And it's doing good things for my own mh. Like purpose and meaning.

I was at the op shop today, and did an extra hour, so I was out all day from 8am until just before 5pm.

Very tired now but I'm writing notes on my mentees, and relaxing in bed with Mr A.

Re: not coping

I am so pleased you’ll have an earlier night @outlander after your long day.

My cup of camomile has brewed and nurse has given me some meds for the last time. I’ll take it easy at home tomorrow but it will be weird even though I had a night at home last week.

I don’t have many belongings here with me so it will be good to wear different clothes. There’s a couple of ladies in here who appear to have bought whole new wardrobes to wear each day.

When do you see your specialist?

💙💜💙

Re: not coping

Itll be good to have some of your comfort items and things @Eve7 i hope that this might be a new beginning for you. Itll probably feel strange and weird for a little while till you settle and have some routine in your life again.

I see the specialist on wednesday afternoon.

Re: not coping

Interesting you say that as I thought about starting a new thread and calling it “beginning again” @outlander

I am really hoping your specialist has a plan to address your health issues and that it can be followed through successfully.

I am going to put the computer through the tv tomorrow as I am so over doing everything on my phone. I get a headache every night.

I hope you get some sleep tonight my friend.

💙💜💙

Re: not coping

Yep @Sans911 it’s really happening. I am terrified and excited all at the same time.

I read some of your story last week and want to thank you so much for being so honest about your struggles. You really have lived the tough road and it’s great how you are mentoring others in such a supportive manner. Take care

💙🧡💙
