Lost in life

@FragileMe Hi FragileMe I find I have good days where I am on top of the world and can cope with almost everything then other days where I just want to curl up in bed and do nothing at all except sleep. Are you seeing a good doctor for your depression and anxiety? For my symptoms of my mi I found having a good psychiatrist and being on the right medications to help enormously.

You are doing well being employed. I couldnt face employment atm and probably never will be able to so says psychiatrist. Just take one day at a time dont look too far ahead. That is what I do. Take good care of yourself. Love peax

@FragileMe hugs FragileMe I hope the new med helps. My son has had an additional med and it has made all the difference to his moods which is a godsend to not only him but the whole family. Hopefully your new manager will improve given time. He/she is probably still finding his/her feet.

I wish I could cry. My meds make it difficult for me to cry as they are mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. I hope my words have helped just so that you know you are not alone. peaxx

Hi @FragileMe,

I to struggle with balancing work and. Life along with mental health issues. I feel. Pretty isolated and alone. Have had so many managers it's hard to trust or faith in any of them.

Current one is so young and I have little confidence in her understanding or caring about me. She's located in a different state which adds to the difficulty. I always have the feeling that I am the odd one out at. Work. Since I had a breakdown down. Manic. Episode. I am Bipolar 2 or so I am. Told.

Do you have any hobbies? Do you have a garden? I miss growing food and maintaining a good garden.

Nice to meet you @FragileMe, hope you can make some connections here. It's great you are working BTW. 👍😊

@FragileMe mood stabilizers are great. I use a purple one and it has worked wonders for my mi symptoms:). Put on weight though but what can you do is better than having moods all over the place. You are sounding alot better from when we first started talking 🙂 I do hope so. I am around most mornings ridiculously early like 2am if you are ever in need of someone to talk to in the middle of the night tag me.

I have to go and see to son2. Take care and I will see you around the forum. Love peax

@FragileMe, my mum got into colouring in a few years ago. No. Stopping her now. She uses those gel. Pens and. Normal. Pencils. I've done a. Few.. I did. Some when I was in a very bad. Place and it helped get. Me. Through.

I got her an easel and magnifying glass for her birthday this week. Much easier and more. Comfortable for her now.

Would you like to be tagged into some of th social threads and a craft one? Would love to see some of your colouring in if you are. Comfortable to. Share them.

I have to head home soon, but, Can do it. Tomorrow if you like.

@FragileMe, my mum has stacks of books, pens and pencils thats for sure. She's so meticulous when doing them under the magnifying glass. Now I have got her one that clamps she is still in the habit of picking up the old one. I tried to get her to have a go at one of my hobbies last night and she wouldn't have a bar of it lol 🙂 We recently got a laminator so that it protects some of the ones she has completed. I can't believe how cheap some of the books are and how great the pictures are that are in them. I really enjoy the ones with animals that are made up out of plants and flowers. Some of the mandalla ones are nice to 🙂 What are your favourites to do?
