Something’s not right

Really wobbly

Really wobbly

Any advice and suggestions about how to stay grounded and do self care much appreciated. I have some big stressors in my life right now. That combined with Bipolar 1 and Anxiety is really knocking me around. Trying to sell home as result of marriage breakdown, pay debts, find new home. My daughter (who is my main support) is leaving home (can't blame her). I have a young son to look after and I'm trying to protect him from the strain of the situation. All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety. I am teary and on the verge of panic and need to talk myself down - there's noone else to do it. The future is scaring me.

Good morning, @frog. I just read of your terrible news. Sending hugs and gentle feelings to you. Take it easy on yourself at work, if you make it. So sorry these things have landed in your life.

Hi again @frog -im sorry to hear about your sister too and it is harder that she is far away. Are you close? I hope her surgery goes well and with a better than expected outcome. If you do go to work I hope that it is an ok day that helps you to distract. Be gentle with you. Take care

Good morning, @frog, wondering how you are going. Thinking of you.

Re: Really wobbly

Hello @outlander @Mazarita @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Shaz51 I hope you are travelling ok. I am really really wobbly, even for me. I had to make a difficult decision and I am travelling to see my mother tonight. It will be a very quick visit because my kids are at war and the younger one really isn't able to take care of himself yet.

My sister has forgone her own surgery and flown to Australia from France to see my mum. I am feeling guilty about this because I have delayed and dithered on my decision.

My brother (who is a doctor) said that my mother is not aware of what's going on but my sister said she could squeeze her hand, nod and shake her head and did know who was there.

I am sort of in a daze, and frightened. I feel like I can't do this, and I can't not do it. So much is arising for me from the past. My brain doesn't want to work, doesn't want to make decisions, doesn't want to know.

This morning they are going to take the breathing tube out and see if she can breathe on her own. If not it goes back in but they said this can't go on indefinately.

Thank you all for being here. You are so much more supportive than my family. Please stay with me.

Also @Sahara I see that you are going through a really difficult struggle of this kind yourself. I am thinking of you. I thought I should stay on my wobbly thread and not crash yours. From what I saw you are doing so well - making decisions is so hard under the circumstances. Take care.
