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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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

Re: Really wobbly

@Owlunar hope your back pain eases. Feeling wobbly is not nice. A feeling of not in control, could fall into holes. But the forum helps so much. Hope you feel better soon. Thanks care. So good.

I am sure the back pain will ease as the day goes along - @Meowmy

I haven't fallen into any holes recently - or if I did I got out of them quickly

A few weeks ago I was having a bad day - I could not seem to get out of my own way but I realised it was an anniversary - we all have anniversaries - I try to ignore them but found it doesn't really work if they are important - it's like they have a mind of their own and sneak up on me - it's better to own them and treat myself until I feel better

I am so glad you found this forum - I am really glad I did - it's a good place to be

Hi @Shaz51 how are you travelling?

Thanks for checking in.

I'm quite flat. The winter dark seems to affect me more each year. I'm thinking of trying a blue light first thing in the morning.

My work is getting me down. It's bad, and no prospect of change. Just have to hang in there and look for the little wins.

I had a good session with my psychologist on Friday, but some big issues arose, as they do. Always tough, but ultimately good I hope.
