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 All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety.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

just the usual 37 deg here today, guess thankful its not 39, 40 or 42 think had that during week lol think 6 weeks left of summer lol @frog getting sick of aircon and sitting inside to not melt lol

not up to much here. worked a couple days, managed to get a few niggles, well some things nowhere near as bad as had been, but always come away a bit worse for the wear. got work again monday, so hopefully its steady/easy, just need to get through 5 slightly shorter shifts to make it to the weekend, and repeat for 4 weeks lol

I hope things not quite so hectic at work for you as think I read the other day

I'm going to have a slow afternoon @Shaz51 and hopefully an early night. We had a big storm in the middle of last night and I'm a bit sleep deprived. Mowing is hot work! Enjoy your afternoon/evening.

Oh my @TAB that's hot! We usually get, but it's dry heat. Not this year. Cooler and wetter ... very la Nina.

Yeah my work is relentless. I need to pace myself better. I work 4 days a week. Don't think I can handle any more, but they try and cram 5 days work in anyway.

Hi everyone @Shaz51 @Eve7 @Appleblossom @TAB @Meowmy @Snowie @outlander @Bunniekins @Judi9877 @HenryX @Clawde @Dimity @Hams and everyone who has tagged me recently or is passing this way.

Just wanted to say that I haven't forgotten you, or disconnected from the forum.

My work is out of control, and taking up too much of my energy and time. I'm not paid to do what they are asking, but don't know how to put the brakes on all the demands. Housing issues too. And kiddult's dental care and costs.

Anyway, I am trying to hang in there. Hope all of you are faring ok.
