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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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

Just wanted to say hi all. Am scattered and wound up but looking for positives. I've had 2 little walks today. I saw my daughter. The day is not over yet and I can still achieve something.

Hope you are all finding some joy today whatever's going on

Special shout out to @Queenie I was looking back over my thread and you were my first responder when I arrived - at a really low point. It means a lot.

@frog Hey frog, hope you can pick up and go for a walk. It is getting dark here, only four pm. Just doing some washings and ate afternoon tea. Hope the day turns out better for you soon. Take care.

Re: Really wobbly

Hope you are finding some joy too @frog . Thanks for tagging me here. I tend to lose track of individual threads by people at times, mostly stick to the Long Rave thread because I get a bit scattered if on too many threads at once and mix up what's happening for who. Forgive me! I will always get back to you if you tag me. Sounds as if your day has had a bit less drama in it and more peace. Take care x
