Something’s not right

My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

Sorry to hear that your migraine is still there @creative_writer Must be hard having to deal with it for so long. I think our mental health does have a big impact on our physical health.

Have taken some prn. Can't undo it however. I struggle to reach out, I don't feel worthy of it. Others have it worse. The paperwork does mean I can continue on seeing my supports, which I guess is a good thing. I wouldn't want to have to start all over again with new supports.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, I hope the PRN helps. I know it may not feel that way, but you are worthy of support and love. Everything you feel is valid 💖🫂

MH does affect physical well-being for sure. At least I got stabilised after I took my meds last night, I was showing early red flags. So that might explain why I have a migraine too. Otherwise I have been sick, the stress affected my immune system, I just finished a course of antibiotics last week, and not 100% yet

Re: My special place

Do you need to go back to the gp and get some more antibiotics @creative_writer? Sometimes we need more than one round. I'm glad your meds helped last night.

It's strange how we can find the worthiness in others, but struggle to find it within ourselves. But then again, we struggle to find even the goodness within ourselves.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, I already did, he said to wait and see in a day or two if things get better otherwise I can get more. He gave me the script.

I feel like people are generally harder on themselves than others, we have very high expectations from ourselves but not as much from others. Have you ever tried writing a list of positive attributes that you have?

Re: My special place

Thats good that they gave you another script in case you need it @creative_writer

We are harder on ourselves then others. I think it is just human nature. I have never written a list like that before. Wouldn't know what to write.

Re: My special place

Got about 3 hours sleep last night. But have lots of energy today.

Gone up the supermarket, brought some birthday presents, washed and vacuumed my car, cooked tea, washing and ironing done. Just sitting down for a cuppa now.

I know the crash is coming

What about you?

Re: My special place

That sounds nice @amber22 to go out for tea.

We have quite a few birthdays coming up in September.

Nothing much this afternoon. Might try and have a nap if I can stop my brain from working!

Both D and S working tonight so will have to be a taxi
