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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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

Hi @frog Thanks.

I'm glad I can be helpful.

I'm exhausted, didn't achieve a lot this weekend.

This morning I drove 50Km round trip - to see if I could get some of those Bengalese finches.

My surviving Bengalese finch is lonely - he/she needs company (so do I).

I got some, had to sign up for a new license (to be able to buy them).

Re: Really wobbly

@frogMy new Bengalese finches look like this - Fawn Pied.

The lonely one is Chocolate Pied, & he/she now has company.
