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

@GezzaP, I’m sorry you had to see the post, I feel kind of embarrassed now, kind of got carried away, my brain stops working when emotions run high and I have done impulsive and reckless things before. I am actually a very cautious person when in a calm mood state.

Cognitive behavioural therapy is worth a try, my psychologist provided me with some worksheets for bipolar, I think the idea is to recognise early signs and possible triggers. Sometimes bipolar does appear random and a clear trigger can’t be found, but it’s always good to start managing it at onset of an episode. I hope you take care of yourself, depression is very hard and exhausting 🫂💖

Re: My special place

@tyme, I hope you are doing well.

Feeling a sense of frustration that my depressive symptoms returned. I was doing well for three weeks, I know my brain is capable of being stable, and yet, I have been in a dark place since yesterday, and I can’t even identify the trigger, it just happened, life feels so out of control. I don’t want to have to live with this unpredictable mood disorder

Re: My special place

@creative_writer , sometimes we will have these moments my friend

Sorry to say this

When we have these moments it feels hard to focus on something else that may help us through this

What things that have helped you before which you can try now xxx

Re: My special place

Awww no @Shaz51 . I'm so sorry to hear that happened. That's the last thing you need. I hope Mr Shaz is ok. Did he end up getting a new phone?

@creative_writer I'm hearing you. I wish you could take away the hurt and the pain. It sounds so hard at the moment, and I know you have been fighting for a long time. Ride out this wave. I'm with you.

Hugs @outlander - I know you are trying. Sounds like it's not the easiest right now.

Hugs to all of you. It sounds like you all need it.
