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

@Snowie my day tends to go downhill from now, I did at least get stuff done today. How are you doing today.

@NatureLover don't get me wrong, I love my mum. But I never want to be that person who says stuff like that in the heat of the moment

Re: My special place

I'm sorry your day goes downhill from about now @creative_writer

It sounds like a regular occurrence for you. Have you thought about what things you could put into place and do to try and help yourself? I'm not saying that it would help always or solve everything, but it might just assist you. It just might make it a little easier to navigate through.

Re: My special place

@Snowie I'm still trying to figure things out, right now I'm a bit lost. Self care helps, but even self care can feel overwhelming. My brain thinks about all the stuff I have to do and I feel paralysed.

Are you up to much this evening?

Re: My special place

Sometimes we just need a break from our brain @creative_writer I understand how hard it is to 'switch' off. Even trying things can be overwhelming. Thats when I normally watch a movie/tv show that I have seen before so it distracts me but doesn't make me think too much.

Not up to much tonight. S working late so will have to stay awake to pick him up. Thank goodness for coffee!!

Re: My special place

@Snowie I wish it was easier to distract myself, I’m in front of the TV still thinking.

Have you had tea yet?

Re: My special place

@Snowie we had Turkish kebab takeaway. We watched a bit of Spider-Man. Are you watching anything?

Re: My special place

That sounds yummy @creative_writer even better if you didn't have to cook!

Just watching Big Bang Theory here. Seen it multiple times and still funny!!

Any plans for tomorrow?

Re: My special place

@Snowie watching something lighthearted can be a good distraction. I’m naturally drawn to more action and drama.

Probably try to get my other assignment finished before the week starts with placement. How about yourself?

Re: My special place

That will keep you busy @creative_writer

Are you looking forward to your placement?

Need to go to kmart tomorrow for a few things. Closest one is about 1/2 hour away. Hoping it isn't too busy. Other than that just the normal things around the house.
