Sending some much needed love 💌💌

Hi @Snowie @NatureLover

ive had a really difficult couple of days. I don’t know what I can and can’t say. Trying to work with my gp to keep me out of hospital.
It’s my daughters birthday next week, so I don’t wanna be in hospital.

but in good news, I woke to an email this morning. My DSP application has been granted. I thought there were more hoops to jump through. I was told I would need to be assessed by one of their psychiatrist. But I only had a 5 min phone call with one of their psychologist. So that is some relief.

we went to ikea this morning. We looked at new couches. They get delivered on Sunday. I am now absolutely shattered and have crawled into bed.

how r u?

Hi @Bow

Totally understand not wanting to be in hospital for D's birthday. Had the same dilemma last month and not wanting to go in because of my D's birthday. Could never forgive myself if I had missed it.

I know they say that we have to put ourselves first, but sometimes that just isn't possible.

Glad to hear your DSP got funded and you didn't have to jump through many hoops. At least that is one thing you don't have to worry about.

I hope your new couches are comfy.

Sometimes it is hard to know what to post on here. Need to get things of our chest and out of our head. But at the same time don't want to break the rules and trigger other members. Can be tricky at times.

I had 40 winks @Snowie! So tired and my body aches today. Both cats are here curled up next to me asleep too.

I really need to keep myself well. Mum goes interstate in a couple of weeks. I can’t be stressing her out in the lead up to going away and I certainly can’t end up in hospital while she is away!

My case manager really pissed me off this morning. She called my mum. I would at least like her to speak to me first, let me know that she wants to talk to my mum and then speak with her. Not just go over me and straight to my mum. I am not a child.

Glad you got some sleep @Bow Hopefully that helps you see the day out.

Must be hard when they go over your head and talk to your mom. I think you have a right to be annoyed. She could have at least spoken to you before hand.

It can be hard when we have so much pressure on us to 'stay well'. Especially when others are relying on us. I can understand not wanting your mum to have to worry about you when she is away. It can take so much energy just to be here.

Yep that’s for sure @Snowie it feels like a lot of pressure. 😩

@Bow That's great about your DSP being granted. And I'm sorry your CM is still doing unhelpful and upsetting things 😢

Hoping you can stay OK till your daughter's birthday...

Thinking of you today @Bow and hoping it’s a better one for you.

❤️🙏❤️

Someone around tonight?
