Looking after ourselves

Re: Daily Check In Space

Many thanks

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hi all, 

Haven’t contributed to this forum before but it’s nice to be here. Currently caring for my partner who has a range of mental health issues. 

Tough day of it today. Feeling about a 5. 
Today I’ve struggled with not taking her feelings on board and assuming that they’re my fault. I think I did well by allowing her the space to rest and then encouraging her to eat and have a laugh with me. 

I’ve looked after myself well today by catching up with friends and plan to do some reading later. 

Re: Daily Check In Space

Nice to have you on board @Trifle79  😊

Re: Daily Check In Space

Feeling about a 3 this afternoon.

Feel like I'm loosimg my mind. 

After an otherwise positive week our youngest child ended up at the hospital to try resolve some pain and mussle spasm issues he has had for over a month.

After a lengthy assessment at local hospital, Quick trip to city hospital.

2 hours getting into the children's ward. 

Covid has sent the place into lockdown, Finally saw a Dr super late (the Dr who was waiting to see us). All tests put off until this morning.

Woke up this morning and the problem.was completely gone..

Discharged and sent home. (No problems with that).

Well this afternoon, bam, problem.has returned. Lost for what to do. 

Hang on for the weekend and call Dr on Monday. 

 

Sorry for the vent

Just 😫😫😫😫

Today I am feeling a 7- I tried to prioritise my self care this week and feeling better for it

Re: Daily Check In Space

I have been pretty low since Friday. About a 2.  Compliance required my chaufeurring, but so sad for my son.  Maybe I am feeling it even more than him. 

Self care is planning this afternoon. I have 2 appointments today and one each the next couple days. Keeping making a life.

Self Care also in preparing tasty nutritious meals for household.

Self care in going to local conservation group.

Re: Daily Check In Space

I am so sorry to hear you have been feeling low @Appleblossom Heart When supporting the people we love, we can feel the things they are experiencing so deeply Heart

Re: Daily Check In Space

Its NDIS and VMIAC.

@Daisydreamer 

I am embedded in the system I guess. Grateful for that.  At least it is better than we were totally isolated.

 

Thanks @Shaz51
