Re: HOME

Another day. Sleeping the day away. Very flat. Very irritable. Depression trying to suck me into its vortex. Feel hopeless.

Re: HOME

Hearing you @utopia ......

Have you got three itty-bitty things on your tick-list for today ?  

Just doing something ..... anything ..... can help break the suction of the vortex.

Have you eaten something ?

Re: HOME

Lovely to see you getting out and about on the forums @utopia ......

I didn’t mention it, but listening to, and helping others here is something I can do when I can’t do much irl with my situation, and if my energy is really low ..... and it counts as “doing something”.  It’s a community service involvement.  That doesn’t mean that that is why you are doing it ..... but it is achieving something, participating .....

Re: HOME

Yes @Faith-and-Hope sometimes it helps to focus on other people instead of yourself.
I did get up after 5 and cooked a Shephards Pie. We all just wolfed it down, to be able to get to the train station to drop off sons girlfriend.
I am talking on Facebook with an old friend who is going through some really hard struggles.
I see my psychologist tomorrow afternoon. And Friday I head to Melbourne to see my psychiatrist. Hopefully those 2 appointments will help.

Re: HOME

I am glad to hear it @utopia ..... ❣️

Keep taking care of you ....

(Shepherd’s Pie .... makes a note to make Shepherd’s Pie tomorrow night cos it sounds so yum)

Re: HOME

My brain won't switch off tonight. Lying in bed and the thoughts are racing. Have tried breathing exercise - but can't keep the focus for more than a minute.
And now I'm having an allergic reaction to something. My hands are hot and itchy. Burning hot. Don't recall touching anything new. Maybe my immune system is just going out in sympathy with my mental state.

Re: HOME

So sorry to hear how hard it is at present @utopia Hoping the coming appointments are really helpful. You must be exhausted on top of everything else. Thinking of you.

Re: HOME
