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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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 is so important to look at those little 'wins'. They help to keep you going when times are hard.

I hope you find more of those little wins in the coming days.

I'm doing really well. Adding a mood stabiliser to my anti depressant - has made such a huge difference. This depression that has been stalking me for 18 months, has just vanished. It's a very strange experience to finally be depression free. I'm happy to be in, what I call, remission.

I'm pretty drained @MDT My boy is struggling MI wise and pdoc thinks signs of bipolar. Like me. Not a happy legacy to leave your kid. I'm not blaming myself, but I really hoped he'd be spared such a crappy hand

I'm so happy to hear it @utopia The first time I recovered from depression it was like coming up for air. I remember the moment that I realised it was not longer there

Well @Zoe7 @MDT my boy is struggling with mental health and pdoc says it'd looking increasingly like bipolar So both of us are pretty drained. Life goes on. I'm just sad because I hoped he'd be spared such a crappy hand.
