Re: rough time
@outlander
hey sweets, sounds like you have had a full on day! how are you feeling? sorry to hear that your family aren't understanding of how you feel with dogs. good on you for going though luv and for doing what you had to do to get through the evening! i hope you are proud of yourself woman!! 🙂
sorry i haven't been able to check in with you today - i've been with mum all day. she agreed to go to the mental health clinic so that went smoothly. now just have to wait and see how she goes there. at least i know she is safe and will be looked after. her psych spoke to her and she said she is fine, nothing wrong ... then i started doubting myself and felt i didnt the wrong thing, etc but i had no choice - she wasn't responding on monday night so i had to call the ambulance. anyway, we'll see how she goes now that she is in hospital.
have you spoken to your pop? and ... what do you have planned for tomorrow? i hope you were able to think of some things to do to keep you busy! remember ... if you're stuck there's always cleaning at my place 😉 hehe

well you got through the day which is awesome - hopefully you feel a bit of relief that you did it.
i hope i did the right thing luv. i saw she was going downhill but she was adamant she wanted to do it her way and i agreed so as not to push. but then monday night i had to do what i had to do. that's what i keep telling myself!!
awesome to hear your pop is going well - that must keep your mind at ease.
how many sisters do you have? that be nice spending time with them 🙂
oh bugger, hope you didn't break your finger luv.
ok, so no cleaning ... wanna come and do a load of washing for me? lol
ooh, what other distractions and coping mechanisms are you working on?

Re: rough time
I am very sure you done thr right thing @Bella1978 the hospital staff assessed her too and made the same decision and same concerns as you had/have id say you were spot on.
I have 2 younger sisters. Yeh its good spending time with them but im with them alot babysitting and doing everything for them. Im like a mum to them not a sister so its not that great
Its ever so slowing changing though.
Ive got atm tv shows, walking- i csn drag sisters out for a short walk. I just done a drawing exercise with thr help of @Sans911 so can do that one too. And the worry box as well.

awesome - sounds like you have a few things on for tomorrow - a walk with your sisters will be nice. how old are they?
you mentioned that you dont enjoy walking on your own. how about bringing your phone with you and listening to some music? i do that sometimes.
i gotta try out that worry box

Re: rough time
Ones 7 and the others turning 16 in a few months @Bella1978
I usually walk with my headphones in or one of them anyway as i like to be alert to my surroundings. Need a new walking track or a buddy would be good.
The worry box is very good. I find it helpful and its something so simple too
