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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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 for sharing @Appleblossom . That's pretty cool! I can't say I'm a keen gardener. I do it because I have to. I can understand those who thrive in the garden. I do love my garden, but just hate plants that decide to grow in the wrong place!

As for you @frog , I'm thinking of you and just want to see how you are travelling.

We are here. Please reach out at any time.

Hugs,

BPDSurvivor

Re: Really wobbly

I had a neighbour who loved gardening but hated weeding.

@BPDSurvivor

For some weird reason I am not like that. For first forty years I loved "nature" as vague as that is, and only in last 20 years gained more knowledge. Now I am as interested in weeds as anything else that grows. Its not about what it looks like and what is right. I am getting better at identifying and dealing with them quick smart. I even weeded at the vets this week where their gardener does a lousy job of it. Maybe its compulsive, my brain just says exercise ... bend knees and does it. lol
