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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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

I'm here too, @frog. Is it possible you need a day off from work to deal with what you are going through? Thinking of you, sending kindest wishes.

Re: Really wobbly

Thanks for being there @Former-Member @Bunniekins @Mazarita. I can’t have time off because I have very little and need to save it for funeral (my bro says this year at best - he’s a Dr) Have bad headache and neck pain. Son had a stack on his skateboard. Daughter broke up with partner of 5 years. Just trying to hang in there.

Re: Really wobbly

@frog Sorry froggy things are going so hard for you atm. I wish I could make it all go away. Do you get any quality time for yourself where you can do some self care? A nice walk or something would be good for your mind or even a swim in the ocean if you are close by before the weather gets cold. Best wishes your way frog xx
