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

I think it is going ok @outlander I don't feel the effects of it yet but hopefully that will change soon. I am so ready to go home and miss my family (and the dog!)

I have another session on Friday and next Monday and then they re-evaluate whether that is enough or if I need more sessions.

How are you going sweetheart? I have missed having this time to catch up with you 💌

Re: My special place

hopefully it will be helpful @Snowie
do you find you are coping a little better atm?
im not surprised you miss your family, the dog and home in general. its been a tough and long journey for you.

how are you going since your fall as well?

im ok I guess, just the daily things as normal. i don't really have much to say about me tbh. I have missed you too but your doing what is best for you so im glad that I at least know your safe and ok where you are. im already missing our sister but hopefully she wont stay away too long.

Re: My special place

I find I am coping better @outlander

But I do worry about the kids and how all this is impacting on them. When I talk to them they say they are ok but I know my mental illness has to be affecting them too.

D now sees a psychologist which I feel is partly my fault. But I know it is good for her to talk to someone about all of this. She seems to put so much pressure on herself and it worries me at times. Plus she is wise beyond her years. I know one day I will have to tell them about my past (childhood things) but I want them to keep their innocence for as long as possible.

I am doing better since my falls. My blood pressure isn't as low now and I am trying to keep my fluids up. I know now that I got really dehydrated so can't let that happen again.

I miss our sister too but I am glad she is doing what she needs for herself and that she is safe. She has got some good supports in real life that I am glad are there for her.

You are never far from my thoughts @outlander Your days are in no way easy with your family and pop so hoping that you could get some me time in there today 💕

@Former-Member how are you going sweetheart?

Re: My special place

im glad that your coping better @Snowie that is a good start. I know it probably doesn't feel too good D seeing a psychologist but its good that she has been open enough to say that she feels she needs to talk to someone and has that support early. no ones immune to mh issues unfortunately but with supports esp early on theres often a good outcome.
i don't think your kids have to know anytime soon either. there is plenty of years left to talk to them, im sure youll know when the time is right. right now focus on getting those good supports up, helping yourself and then you can also help your kids too.
from what you've said they still have a good relationship with you at least enough to ask for help when they need it.

staying hydrated can be hard esp when we are stressed out or just don't feel like it. im glad that they know what caused it though so you can keep it in check.

your never far from my thoughts either

no time to myself which is bad with pop cause i need a break but i also need some distractions to keep the days moving along. Fridays appt will be really pushing it with school cause one sister finished at 240 and the appt is at 245 so hopefully itll work out ok even if i stand outside the car. i don't trust pops driving anymore otherwise id ask him to pick up the kids.
