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

Wow @Zoe7 sounds like another productive day for you today. You are amazing. You have great energy and motivation. Wish a little would rub off on me 😉
today I think we are just taking it easy. Perhaps go for a walk along the beach and walk down cavil avenue. We leave for the sunshine coast tomorrow.

Re: Darkness

That sounds like a lovely way to spend your last day @Lee82 You have done so much while you have been there so to relax a little will be good. I really hope you can see just how much you have done on your holiday bit also how well you have got through it all - some normal bumps along the way but you have done it - you really should be proud of yourself Hon

I am busy but a good busy - I am doing what I love to do so it is not a chore. Physically I am not great which is making it drag out because of the breaks I need but I am getting there. 👍

Re: Darkness

I am ok Mel, just a bad day that's all. You know what really sucks!!!! I won't tell you where but on your drive to the Sunshine Coast you will be 5 minutes from my place 😢😢😢😢 I am glad to hear that today is an easy one for you. Where about on the Sunshine Coast is your first stop? What are your plans while there. Are you guys going to Australia Zoo? Love 3000 @Lee82

Re: Darkness

So sorry to hear physically you are not doing well @Zoe7 but so lovely to hear that you are still able to do the things you enjoy even if it takes a little longer than usual.
I am trying to acknowledge just how much I have done and accomplished but I guess I am just way to hard on myself and feel like I should be able to do so much more.
we are also catching up with my cousins tonight for dinner as we just found out that they are here on holiday too.

Re: Darkness

How wonderful you are in the same place as your cousins and can catch up @Lee82 That will be a nice end to your trip

I have not been physically okay for years - since I got sick. The fatigue and lack of ability to do most things for so long also meant my body broke down a lot - no strength or endurance I do try to push myself to build up those things again but I also feel it afterwards ...every little bit helps though. I will never be as physically fit as I was but for now aiming to get to a stage that I can walk up a flight of stairs without everything aching.

Re: Darkness

Hey beautiful. Knowing that I am passing your place on my way to sunshine coast is very frustrating hun. 😢 seeing you would be the best gift every and would be the highlight of my holiday.

we Are staying in marcoola. We have a few things planned. Going to go to the inflatable park on the water, going to the market, maybe going to Australia zoo and perhaps another waterpark.
hoping your day gets better babe. Any idea when you are able to go visit your son?

Re: Darkness

Oh hun I am so sorry to hear that. It must be frustrating wanting to be able to do certain things but physically you are unable to. Good on you for not giving up though and trying to push yourself just as long as it's not too hard to the point it makes things worse for you babe. I am sure though that you know your limits. Many people would have just thrown the towel in and admitted defeat.
It was only by chance we bumped into them when we went to the SeaWorld for the first time. My cousin her husband and 2 kids were waiting in line just in front of us. I haven't seen these cousins for years. We use to be extremely close growing up so it is so nice to see them again.

Re: Darkness

It is very frustrating @Lee82 but I do push as hard as possible when I can. There are days I have more energy and don't feel as fatigued but I do feel the aches and pains a lot. I used to be really fit and did a lot of sport but injuries stopped that - that was a major adjustment in my life and so it has been since I got sick. I know I cannot work on things for days like I used to without taking breaks - and sometimes those breaks need to be for days - but we adjust to what we have to deal with and accepting that is self-care in itself.
