My special place

yes, it would be good @Snowie

Mr shaz says I fall asleep straight away when my head hits the pillow and he is wide awake for hours , just a shame getting up through the night xxx

going to visit my mum first

Hubby is like that. Falls to sleep as soon as his head hits the pillow @Shaz51 and then normally snores!

I hope your visit to your mum goes well.

Yes Mr shaz said that I have started snorning lately for some reason @Snowie

Thinking of you @Snowie. Hoping you find a little peace in your day.

Had a crap sleep again last night. Already cleaned the kitchen, gone down the street and did two loads of washing. Trying to stay busy.

I so need to talk to my psych and/or my pdoc. My supports are my lifeline and they are gone.

Sorry you didn't sleep well. @Snowie. Sounds like you have had a productive morning so far. Well done on keeping yourself busy.

Hi @Snowie Great that you have done so much today already! What is it you mean by your supports are gone? Here on the Forums if you want to stay connected today. Take care RiverSeal

@RiverSeal both my psych and pdoc are both on leave. They have taken leave before but never at the same time. I have gone from seeing both of them fortnightly to nothing. My pdoc will be back in about a week but I don't see my psych until the start of August. It has already been a month since I last saw my psych.

I am finding it really hard to cope with them both being away. They are the only supports I have and they are gone. I have no one left.

@Snowie I understand that it is challenging when you don't have your usual supports. I had to learn that people who support me have their own lives and sometimes they are not available. Yours are on holiday and are coming back so that's great news. Maybe it's an opportunity to access different supports like contacting an online service while they are away. Have you looked into that at all? I could send you some links to have a look at if you like?

You have the Forums though and you are connected to the community here.

RiverSeal

I understand that they both deserve leave just like any of us do @Captain24 Just doesn't make it easier when I rely on them, probably a bit too much.

I have tried to look into different forms of support. Unfortunately where I live there isn't any support groups around. I don't have access to community mental health either.

Some links would be great.
