My special place

You are not complaining @Eve7

Happy to keep you company.

What have you been doing today?

That’s just it @Snowie Ive done nothing really. I slept a bit, didn’t eat lunch. I was invited to the movies by a friend but pdoc said no. It’s been a beautiful day here.

Anyway hows your day been?

Sometimes nothing is all we can manage @Eve7 and thats ok. Sometimes we need days like that to recharge.

I had a busy morning. Went shopping and started xmas shopping then had to go to a friends house to drop of some things to them.

This afternoon has been quieter. PJ's, coffee, dog cuddles and a movie. Didn't sleep great last night so a quiet afternoon has helped me.

Have you got any plans for tomorrow?

Tomorrow I have ECT in the morning and group in the afternoon. Visitors can only come for 1 hour. It’s a pretty nice clinic so I shouldn’t complain.

You’ve been busy @Snowie and well done with the Xmas shopping. Sorry you didn’t sleep well last night and hope it’s better tonight.

I hope ECT goes well for you @Eve7 and your group goes ok.

I am glad it is a nice clinic hun, hoping the nurses are nice too.

I have to go back in for ECT maintenance soon. So 1 session every 3 weeks for 6 months. That means an overnight stay in hospital every 3 weeks. Hopefully tonight is better, would be nice to get through the night without any nightmares.

Yes a peaceful sleep is what you need @Snowie 🤞

I did some maintenance ECT after my last admission. I had to be here at 7am and I stayed in a few times afterwards but I asked to stop as it wasn’t going well then I had arythmias long story. It’s going ok this time though. I’ve had 3 and probably 6 to go.

Thanks for being here.

Do you have plans for tomorrow?

💙🦋💙

Well hopefully those sessions go ok @Eve7

I was in hospital awhile ago for 3 weeks having ECT so hopefully these next sessions go ok too.

No plans yet for tomorrow, will see how tonight goes and if I get sleep or not.

No need to thank me for being here, I am happy to be here with you hun 💕💕

I’m supposed to keep a “grateful journal” and every day I write how grateful I am for you and others Luke you on the forum. It’s suppised to help with si thoughts.

I finished a library book today. It was about an Australian woman who grew up in a small country town. The preview said she was a sociologist and I thought it would be interesting.

Now Ive finished it I’m pleased I read it as she writes about her family life including relationship with her mother and mh very well. It’s “Girl on the Edge” by Kim Hodges if you’re interested.

The grateful journal sounds interesting hun @Eve7

Does it help with the SI thoughts?

That book sounds interesting, I have never heard of it before. Will have to look it up, I am always looking for new books to read.

I think it will help @Snowie if I focus on what is going well in my life and it doesn’t have to be earth changing events as I miss the little things like Miss 3’s smile and tend to focus on things I can’t change if that makes sense.

The book was good but I had no idea it was about mh when I got it so the first chapter threw me a bit (lot) so I googled the author and her pdoc which helped and her life story was very interesting and thought provoking in a helpful way.
