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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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

Hello friends.

I can't believe how long it is since I've revisited my first thread.

Am wobbly today. A friend I haven't seen for 9 weeks through lockdown was with me this weekend, and gone again now. It seemed harder than usual saying goodbye.

Also I thought now we are emerging that work would become more stable and offer some routine but that is not happening until February. We are not back in the building for 3 weeks and then it's a week on a week off. Idk why this has thrown me.

Lockdown has been so hard, but now I'm all over the place as it's changing.

Hello dear @frog

Thank you for including me on your update 🤗

I am sorry you're feeling wobbly, but it's really not at all surprising. Lockdown has been extremely difficult and now to flick a switch so to speak and have the same thoughts and feelings about doing what we used to is not going to happen. Our emotions and fears are heightened.

I can imagine saying goodbye was difficult Frog, I'm so sorry. I guess in the back of your mind there's the fear lockdown might happen again and you won't see your friend for another long time, am I right?

No need to answer x

I am also sorry to learn of your work situation, uncertainty is not an easy path to navigate. I hope some clarity comes and perhaps the lifting of restrictions with it.

Here with you Frog and sending you 1000 cyber hugs to take as you need them,

Look after yourself and keep reaching out, we are here for you 💚🐸

Hey @frog
I haven't had many social interactions since lockdown ended. People are either too afire to go out, moving on in life or haven't been vaxxed. What can you do hey?
Work will be finished soon and I'm glad about that. I've hated the last few months. The way I've been treated hasn't been great.
So I feel like I'm back at square 1 tbh with you.
Guess I just wanted to say I know how you're feeling friend

Hi there @frog

Just letting you know that I'm thinking of you during this difficult time. Lockdown hasn't been a fun experience for anyone, especially those with mental health issues, and I can certainly understand why and how. I definitely didn't expect to have a hospital admission because of the stress caused by this virus!
All I can say is you're a strong person and although goodbyes are hard, you handled it and you will continue to be strong and brave!

Sending you positive thoughts from Melbourne!

Take care forumite friend☺️
