Re: Taking the plunge

Hey all. I haven't read much aside from tags via email but wanted to say hi and let you know where I'm at.

I've been sleeping (yay for hospital psychs handing out meds like lollies 😉) pretty much since Tuesday. Some awesome social worker at the hospital pulled some strings and had me assessed for the break place (somewhere I've been before and find ultra mega super helpful) today. After the assessment I was discharged from hospital and driven here to the break place where I've been for the last couple of hours. Hospital was great. So great I had to keep pinching myself that it wasn't the horrible experience I had last time but this here is a million times better.

The hospital psychiatrist called my parent (next of kin even though I asked them not to) and asked all kinds of things and disclosed lots more, so everyone is aware that my "im fine" was very not fine. I've just had a great chat to mum who wants to work out a way to stop this from getting to this stage. I'm hopeful that can happen one day maybe. Both siblings are helping with the kids which is awesome and from the sound of it, everyone is supportive of me taking time out here for a bit. The weekend has already been sorted without me needing to think about it.

I'm feeling as good as I can. I seriously, seriously needed this.

Missing you all and looking forward to shaking some meds off, clearing my head and catching up properly when I can think a bit better.

Thanks for the tags and messages- it super helps ❤

Xx

Re: Taking the plunge

@CheerBear Sooooooooooooooooooo pleased this is working out this good for you. It’s time those close to you get to know your ‘ i’m Fine’ is not Fine at all.

Try not to rush it if you can. Take all the time out you need.

Your mum sounds like she really cares and wants to help, let her. 💛💛 Sibs will be doing a sterling job, and LF will be getting away with all sorts of, ‘mums not here stuff.’😁

I’ve been trying super super hard not to tag you too much, now I know they help, look out, tag mode has set in.

Even a little improvement is good, please go G. E. N. T. L. Y. 💛❤️💚

@CheerBear I want to share my FIRST mosaic with you. A fiddly pendant. I’ve been fiddling for weeks. Glue everywhere.

Re: Taking the plunge

It's so beautiful @Maggie! And tiny - that must have been so fiddly!

Thank you for sharing it ❤

Strange - as I got your tag I was walking in to a meeting and saw mosaic stuff on the table here where I know all kinds of crafty goodness happens (because I've spent many hours crafting there before). Cool timing. Im looking forward to feelinf a bit better and hunting around the cupboards 🙂

Re: Taking the plunge

Not sure if you’re up to having an early morning coffee yet @CheerBear . Though I enjoy your company very very much, I’m hoping you get many late morning wake ups.

Once you become human again, a search through the cupboards could be fun. For now, drink coffee and get as much rest as you possibly can.

Re: Taking the plunge

😖😮😮😮 3 sets so far, @outlander we’ll done. 💛💙❤️💚I hope it helps a bit with finances, especially this time of year. It’s tough, made tougher by advertising and unreal expectations.

Thr first mosaic is ⬆️⬆️⬆️.

Hope today is good to you.
