Night Shift

Yes @eth I hope a full house will be ok. It has its good parts and not so good. Im sure you will find this too when you move. I think there are more good than bad. It is most difficult for me when I'm really unwell. Most of the time I guess it's better for me to have a busy house. I think having a cabin will be great for you with more privacy. I really hope you find some good mental health support. When mine all are on the same page I move forward when decisions are made without consultation it ends up me going under like this week but I think I'm better than I was.

Thanks @Mazarita. I'm a little concerned that the last week here being so full-on - removalists, vinnies etc - and the worries about the car on such a long journey, and the broken sleep with night anxieties etc etc will be a trigger to hypomania, but I'm doing ok so far. Just have to remain aware that there are potential triggers happening and monitor myself closely.

Glad to hear you're feeling better than you were @Former-Member.

@Mazarita I've wanted to apologise to you for so long about how intense and possibly how insensitive I was over things before you left. I was very much out of control and very very intense. I am still intense but mostly have a better filter now. I know I contributed to you leaving and I'm so very very sorry. I don't want a response from you but just wanted you to know. I also still have my moments of not coping and did last night on the forum but I get off it more now when out of control.

@eth, sometimes a touch of mania at moving time can be helpful, hehe. Just as long as it settles when no longer required! But you are wise about these things from long experience and will take care of yourself through it, I'm sure. I really hope the tremor issue can be addressed and resolved as soon as possible for you though. You don't need that in your life.

Have you still got your phams worker @Mazarita? I'm glad you are still video editing. 💜🤗

@eth. It's great you are taking care and know yourself so well. Hopefully who ever drives your care will know the signs and look after it well too

Oh @Former-Member, that's okay. The forum is a place for people to bare everything and to be intense when needed. The issue that arose some months ago was mainly just bad timing. Something happened in my real life that made me too vulnerable to be trying to help here just at that moment. I wasn't aware enough of myself to know that in advance. I really appreciate your words though. I feel more resolved about what went down at that time now. 🙂

p.s. yes, still have the Phams worker, still going well. 🙂

LOL @Mazarita I made the same joke to my psychologist. Could be especially useful when it comes to all the cleaning. I'm at the stage now where not a lot else can be done until the last week starting Monday week 12th Dec when the last of the furniture will be taken. Will leave to drive from Darwin to just north of Sydney on the following Monday. Staying in a motel nearby for that week. Since posting today I've been realising how much I have achieved over the last few weeks.

Thanks @Mazarita. You were pretty instrumental in helping through some crazy times. I know I've come a way since then but couldn't have without your help. 💜🤗😘

Glad the phams worker is still there. 👍

@eth, haha, great (bipolar) minds think alike! So cool that you can recognise how much you have achieved recently. It's easy to overlook big changes that are made gradually but really worth acknowledging them if possible.

@Former-Member, I am genuinely pleased I was helpful to you at a hard time back then. And glad we've been able to talk about it a bit more today too. Hugs.
