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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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.

Thanks @Former-Member for your lovely thoughts. I have to go to work and am feeling very anxious this morning. One foot after the other.

@frog try to concontrate on one moment at a time if that will make the day easier to navigate. You can get through this, as hard as it is, you can do it.

Breathe, remember the food and water to keep you going.

Thank you @Former-Member @Mazarita @MDT @Bunniekins @soul @The-red-centaur @Faith-and-Hope @outlander for all your positive thoughts and encouragement. Hello to @Sahara @Shaz51 and my other friends too. Well, I got through the work day. Haven't heard any news of my mother today, but am letting it be for now. I don't know if that's kind of irresponsible/running away, but I need to have breaks and regather. Hope you all negotiated today ok. I know there's a lot going on, for a lot of people! Now for the housework and dinner. My kids want to watch 'The Good Place', which looks very interesting and funny, so I hope that'll be a good distraction.

Hi @frog, good to hear you made it okay through the day, and are taking some time out for regrouping your strength. Thinking of you through this time.
