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

It can be so hard with family @creative_writer Unfortunately a rift can tear a family apart.

It's good that you have family that you can talk too. I struggle to talk to my family about my MH too.

I hope you got some sleep last night and today is going ok for you.

Hi @NatureLover How are you going today?

Re: My special place

@Snowie I feel like sometimes you can still have healthy relationships with people and not talk about MH. It may not be the same, and one may feel some disconnect, but I just want to have healthy relationships and sometimes you just have to accept the other person will never understand.

How are you feeling today?

Re: My special place

The only people I talk to about my MH is my supports and sometimes my hubby @creative_writer Other than that I stay clear of the topic. You are right, most people, even if they try, don't understand.

I feel ok today. Had to take quite a few prn but it is what it is.

How are you today?

Re: My special place

@Snowie I am okay right now, I hope it holds up, usually start really getting tired and moody once it approaches the end of the day. It's also getting dark already, pretty overcast right now. I've been trying to wrap up drafts of assignments which I can fix them over the weekend and have them done.

You're lucky to have hubby to support you. I think it's good to have a supportive person, even if you don't tell them everything. I hope things improve for you, nothing wrong with PRN if you need it ❤️

Re: My special place

Well done for getting some uni work done @creative_writer Hopefully you don't have to much to do over the weekend.

It is overcast and raining here. Have got my oodie on!!

Hubby is good and tries to understand. I know I am lucky.

I get a certain amount of prn a week. After I have used them than that's it for the week. I guess it is like pacing myself. Making sure I have enough for each day. Picked up my meds this morning so got some more prn.

Re: My special place

@Snowie I am pretty exhausted, I don’t know if I can fit any more uni in today. Sustaining attention for a while drains me after some time.

We had some drizzle here too. I’m wrapped up in warm clothing and in my blanket.

Pacing yourself with it makes sense. I can’t have too many PRNs either. My PRN is an extra dose of antipsychotics I already take as a mood stabiliser. The chemist can’t dispense the script too often.

Re: My special place

Studying is exhausting work @creative_writer I hope you are able to give yourself some breaks in between it all.

Wrapped up sounds good. I'm in my oodie and under my blanket too.

I already take my prn in the morning and evening. I guess the ones during the day are top up's.

What are you up to tonight? Whats for tea?

Re: My special place

@Snowie it is exhausting. Now I am in bed trying to work the motivation to do something, I could be on my phone for a while but it’ll achieve nothing. There are multiple non-study things I want to do, but it all feels overwhelming. I don’t actually know what is for tea. What are you having?

Re: My special place

Sometimes we need that break @creative_writer If that is bed for you than so be it.

There is always time another day to get things done.

I made a meat pie so will just be heating that up for tea. Have it with some veggies.

I don't plan on moving from the couch until I go to bed.

Re: My special place

@Snowie migraine is creeping up right now.

Meat pies and vegetables sound delicious.

I now it’s a personal preference. It’s just that I already take 4 different types of medications. I’m worried if I get diagnosed with ADHD my pdoc might want to add another one. I don’t want to be one 5 different types
