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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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 I get that frog pic ... totally me ... which is why avoided the date thing for a long time.

@Bunniekins has a point ... its a 2 way thing ... you have a right to your preferences and being you is the best way to get a sense of if it will work in long run ... if not its just a pleasant ... ish .. few hours.

Have fun
