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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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

Thanks @Zoe7 It's their friendly nature that is so lovely.

Bengalese are a domesticated species (probably hybrid) that does not exist in the wild.

They were bred by the Chinese hundreds of years ago (possibly 1000).

Another name for them is "Society Finches" - that's because they are highly social, & love lots of other finch company.

They all crowd into a nest at night (to go to sleep) - so there can be 10 Bengalese all huddled into one nest.

Like a big group hug....

Other finches don't do that - they split off into pairs.
