Weekly Mental Health Check-in 17.10
Jump to: Newest in thread
Good morning all, how are we today?
I’m kind of ok, but woke up with some anxiety. The dog has gone in to be spayed today so I’m putting it down to that. Otherwise things aren’t too bad. We came out of hospital last Monday, which is the shortest we’ve had to stay yet and my son is doing amazingly at home as ever!
I’m starting a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course starting this Wednesday and can’t wait. Fingers crossed it has a positive effect.
How are you today? xx |

Hope your course is really useful OP.
Im okish today. Had my Mum staying with me for the weekend, so that was nice, and it forced me to actually leave the flat each day. But am now in need of some quiet alone time.
I called up last week and now finally have an appointment with a physciatrist next week. 3 months after i asked my GP for a referral!! But at least i now have a date for it. Just hope they will do something for me.
Sending love and hugs to all x  |

Hi Lou, hope you are well.
Was on a high mid week after a great meet with someone on here so was in a good place.
Then, during a routine appt with my GPs practice nurse, I found out that my referral to a CPN has not been dealt with yet.
Its been sitting for 7 weeks in a DRs email while he has been doing "private work"
To say Iam upset is putting it mildly.
I ve now got a meeting with the Practice Manager at the end of this week to discuss a few things.
So, anxiety levels are up and a constant state of unrest. |

Gr8 thread OP, very much hope everything works out for the best for you & all others. Life for sure is not easy, esp. this day & age with all the conflict that’s going on around us in the World we live in. I find it difficult at best of times, questioning purpose etc. However, take comfort in knowing no two days are the same & that change in circumstances is always imminent. Alive & well so feel blessed in many ways. Best wishes to all. |

The course sounds like an interesting one Lou and I'm pleased things have gone well with your son.
I have my closure, having attended the funeral of the guy that died in Italy. It was a packed church, a lovely reflection of his life and one of his old rugby clubs did him proud in hosting the wake afterwards.
Had my covid jab on Saturday evening which knocked me sideways after lunch on Saturday but otherwise things are fine.
Wishing everyone well in these changing times. |

"I'm ok, it's been a tough year but especially the last month or so.
Friends have commented they are concerned at times, which I guess means I'm not handling things as well as I think I am."
The fact your friends have concern shows you are loved and well thought of. I see it as a major positive. |

I do get that yes. A year ago I doubt anyone would have noticed if there was anything wrong, so I am grateful for new people that have came into my life this year. |

Ugh, how infuriating, that’s completely unacceptable, I’m glad you’ve been able to take it further. I hope it gets resolved quickly for you x |

Not all that North of North London |
I'm struggling. The former employer has refused ACAS' offer of early conciliation. The process is so fucking tiring and I know that they are gambling on me giving up. The fuckers almost killed me, and have damaged me a huge amount so I'm not giving up but I hate standing up to them |

My bipolar is in its manic period and my mind just can't slow down. I am struggling to sleep and I am getting close to burn out. The mania I can handle, it's knowing that the crash is on its way that I struggle with. xx |

Sorry to bump this for selfish means but just having one of those frustratingly down weeks!
Tired, no enthusiasm or motivation. My get up and go has already gone ha!
Was hoping it was just tiredness but was in bed by 8.50 last night and still feeling no better today.
Not so happy Friday over here.
Hope you're all doing well and have fun weekends planned.

That sounds exhausting . Do you have any form of support in place?
Sending love xx"
