Really wobbly

@frog

Just read frog numbers are doing well in local wetlands.

Thanks for telling me about frog numbers @Appleblossom that's happy news

Hey @Former-Member my week has been too full but I'm getting some downtime this weekend. There's always more to do but I'm just forcing myself to leave it for a bit. How about you?

Good morning @frog, wishing you a day of peacefulness 💜Nikki

I'm really wobbly. I am slipping down and clawing my way back to level over and over. This has been going on for months. Now I'm exhausted and crying a lot. I have started to have thoughts like what if this is the time I can't come back up. There are many reasons why this is happening, but I can't change things.

@Former-Member @Former-Member @Appleblossom @Judi9877 @outlander @Meowmy @MDT @Shaz51 @eth @Snowy @BPDSurvivor @TAB @Zoe7 @Eve7 @Maggie @Faith-and-Hope @Adge ... lots of forum people ... Sorry I can't tag you all. I'm glad you are here. Appreciate any positive thoughts if you're able. Fully understand if you're not.

Hey @frog ! Thanks so much for reaching out! This takes courage and guts!

The very nature of mental health has peaks and troughs. Things may be going well for a while, then all of a sudden, you find yourself groping in darkness again. Please remember, this doesn't mean something is wrong with you or you have done something wrong. Our bodies react differently to environmental changes. If there are pressures and stresses in the enrolment, it can affect MH, and this sounds like what is happening.

It's not pleasant to feel wobbly and unstable. Perhaps just stay where you are and take each moment as it comes. You don't need to claw. The struggles of clawing will exhaust you! Stay in touch with this moment. We are hear listening. We are with you in this. I am a living testimony that things will shift.

Just hold on @frog . You don't need to struggle.

My thoughts and care,

Gosh that sounds hard @frog I havent had exact same experience, but know relentlessness of other things and finding the thought that is this forever ?

I hope something changes and or you can get some useful help

Sending warm wishes and sitting with you @frog Try not to pressure yourself if you can. Baby steps are good. Sometimes just getting through 10 minutes at a time that add up to an hour at a time then a day is all we can manage. Self-care and gentle activities. Maybe make a list of things you would be doing if life wasn't so hard atm, then try to do even little steps towards those things. Or just read or watch a movie, whatever to pass the time. Do you see a psychologist or psychiatrist? If so, it might be time to reach out to them too.

Take good care my friend. Here for you.
