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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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

@frog. It's not a day to hit targets or manage what you normally manage. Today is a day to just plod through and do what you can. Or don't do, and rest. Do something you enjoy. A bubble bath. Read a book. Watch a comedy. Do some craft.

We are our own worst enemy when it comes to our thoughts. And most out of the house.

Try and be gentle with yourself today.

Thanks @utopia @CheerBear@MDT @Bunniekins @outlander @Zoe7

I really appreciate your support. It’s so true that I need to let go of expectations and rest. For a 🐸 I have been remarkably like a 🐭 on a wheel lately. I’m aiming at an early dinner and reading in bed. Hope your evening is restful too.

Re: Really wobbly

Anyone else sometimes feel like they can't connect, not even with yourself? I get like this when demands are high.

@frog Hi beautiful froggy 🙂 I get that alot and feel the need to shut down emotionally almost constantly.

Re: Really wobbly

I do get like that when I am tired or really down @frog - find it hard then to connect with anyone. I am getting better at connecting with myself but there are still times that that is a struggle too.

Re: Really wobbly

Definitely feel like that @frog when stresses are so high. My brain just switches off. Think sometimes it's the only way to cope.
