Something’s not right

Darkness

Darkness

Well it's been a hellish few weeks, I have fallen into the rabbit hole and there seems no escape this time. The darkness has come and it thicker than the fires of hell.

Things just don't seem to going right at all and my MH is just getting worse and worse. Not sleeping (afraid to sleep) not eating and not taking my meds. I know this doesn't help but why bother because when I am on them I either feel zone out or that they do nothing anyways. I didn't make it work today, got to the front and was physically sick and froze again. Crawled back into bed where I stayed untill I had an unexpected call.

My 3 main MH professional and I in a conference call, at the end of the call I was given a choice be sectioned or have my ex move back in temporarily to provide around the clock monitoring, this means for at least two weeks of him being here making sure I eat, take my meds and be present for all appointments and no SH. I am not happy about either option but because of teenager trauma in a MH hospital I am taking the ex.

I will not be as active as normal but I will check in. but like tonight, I may just support posts as I am struggling to even type this. So @Snowie @eth @Lee82 @Eden1919 @Purplerain @Lotusgirl amd anyone I missed I will be getting the care I need and will be safe. To some of the newest forum members please forgive me if it takes a bit for me to get back to you.

Re: Darkness

@Former-Member thanks for the update, that sounds like you were having a relatively good day?

@Lee82 just wondering how you are coping with the news about Stage 4 restrictions announced this afternoon?

Re: Darkness

Not coping with that news at all @NatureLover . I now cannot see mum it anyone else for that matter and therefore I have zero contact with any adults for the next 6 weeks. The boys can still go to their dads on the weekend but then that means I am home alone for the weekend. That will be a scary time. Remote learning is still the same but now has been extended which is not good for my MH at all as I am already going crazy as it is.

Re: Darkness

@Lee82 I did worry for your situation, once I had processed the news. Do you think maybe that going to stay at your mum's would be considered urgent caregiving for you? I would think so, as it keeps you safe. What do you reckon?

Re: Darkness

I know that sounds like the best option @NatureLover but I will end up going even more crazy spending 6 full weeks with mum. She is a nightmare with me. I won't be able to handle it.

Sorry, @Lee82 , I only meant going to stay at your mum's occasionally, when you didn't have your kids with you, as per usual. I know your mum is a nightmare for you 😞 and you sounded worried about being by yourself...
