Re: I can’t cope
I managed to self-refer when I first applied. The email said that they would reprocess the previous application and I should hear from someone within 5 days. @tyme.
Im pretty stoked too!

Re: I can’t cope
My life is a massive roller coaster. I was rock bottom on Sunday. Thanks for helping me through that @tyme! Today Im in a really good mood on the verge of mania.
Even though my back pain is intense I’ve done all my housework and still feel like I could do more. But I need to let my back recover.
I hope everyone is having a great day

Re: I can’t cope
Hey @Captain24 🙂
I'm stoked you are now able to access the guided service. That's such good news.
The weather is better for me today, so I feel better too.
Any plans for today?

Re: I can’t cope
I’m glad that you are starting to feel
better @tyme. I’ve been a little worried about you. Even though I wasn’t online I was following through emails.
Im waiting to see the GP. I don’t really want to though. I think she is going to see my mood and try to bring it under control! I’m laughing as I type this in the middle of the waiting room!!! Afterwards I think I may go and lay in the sun for a little while if it’s still warm.
Im hoping the guided service can help!
What do you have planned?

Re: I can’t cope
Hey @Captain24 ,
MH has its ups and downs. It is definitely not a straight journey!
Yes, I've had some lousy days, but it is expected. I guess when you expect something, when it happens, it doesn't throw you so much.
The hardest part is when something happens that you don't expect!
I'm definitely okay and I know every challenge makes space for growth 🙂
I'll be working for the rest of the day today. I'll be on the Guided Service later 🙂

Re: I can’t cope
Woo hoo! The GP didn’t ruin my mood! She has increased the new mood stabiliser and decreased the other one. But she did say if my mood keeps increasing I have to go to the ED. That won’t be happening!
I rang my nurse after the appointment to update her on the medication change and all I could do was laugh. She asked if I was driving? Yep I was! When I could pull myself together enough she told me she has referred me to a dietitian. So that should hopefully help my completely out of control eating habits.
It’s certainly not a straight journey! I would love to stay like this though!
I feel like you have an every sensible thought process around your MH @tyme. and your ability to adapt to what is happening to you and around you.
I hope that I can eventually get a better understanding of myself and be able to adapt.
Im interested in knowing more about the guided service. I just hope they ring Monday or Tuesday as I’ll be at work after that.

Re: I can’t cope
You guys are awesome! @hanami @tyme.
I was worried the gp would bring me back down to a stable level but she didn’t so it’s great!
With the guided service I’m willing to try anything to assist me to become stable and work towards recovery
As for the weekend if I can keep my mood at a manageable level I don’t have much planned other than laying in the sun. My back prevents anything to much
What are your plans?

Re: I can’t cope
Hey @Captain24 ,
You really need to get hydrotherapy! Perhaps you and Pix and work together to dig a pool for yourselves.
Hydrotherapy is soooo good for your back.
Is it a bulging disc or inflammation or something? Seems to flare up quite regularly.
