Re: not feeling good
@BlueBay just calling by with some ❤ and thoughts. That's a really tough headspace to be in. Well done on speaking with the nurse there. I hope you can get some rest or peace tonight.
Thinking of you ❤

Re: not feeling good
Hi @CheerBear and @BlueBay
Yes the forums has been down for about 40 minutes. We have fixed the problem now - touch wood. Sorry about the outage.

Re: not feeling good
You are feeling horrible @BlueBay - that's easy to understand
But you are more than your job - what about little A - you are a Nonna too and I remember my grandmothers with great love - they were important people in my life
Atm you seem positive you won't get another job - that's not proven yet
Just give yourself time to recover - that's enough right now
Sending 💜💙❤

Re: not feeling good
Hi @Owlunar
yeah I think I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps. I miss my job the girls I worked with. But it's ok.
I slept well last night after increase in med. I just completed art therapy and normally I wouldn't attend. But I thought I would tiday. I painted my paper with oranges and browns. Then we had to draw pictures and put in the painting. I drew a tree and then got emotional. I walked out and one nurse saw me and came to chat. I told her I'm feeling really dumb because I can't draw. After 5 mins I went back in snd completed my painting. It turned out ok.
it is amazing how doing something like painting affected me emotionally.
I'm going to go fir a walk later.
reg work - I'm nit giving myself time. I need to sort myself out first.
actually on the weekend I saw a friend who manages the register girls at my local IGA supermarket. I mentioned I've got no job and she suggested to come in and see her snd she could possibly give me a job.
do you know I'm thinking that might be perfect. Close to home I know a lot of the girls znd I go in fo my job snd go home. And I'll see most of the pharmacy customers.
im seriously thinking of doing that.
I think I'm feeling a bit better. I'm waiting to see the social worker.
good class after lunch today with a good counsellor.
I got a phone call before from local public hospital about doing ACT therapy. Two hours a week for 8 weeks. Looking forward to that.
overall I'm plodding along. Still having my emotional days.
i
hope you are ok. I often think of you.

Re: not feeling good
Wow. That sounds like a great opportunity to work atthe iga. You sound genuinely positive about it.
I am happy you are also getting the help you need in this hospital. That's great news too 🙂
Sometimes these things have a way of creeping up on us though. Like our ability to do something we thought we could do - drawing for example.
Take it as it is I guess hey.
I am on lunch at my internship. So far an interesting day.
I felt a bit depressed before so took the chance to come outside for something to eat.

Re: not feeling good
Hey @BlueBay
It was lovely reading your post. You sound a little chirpier. Art therapy can be cathartic bringing out emotions.
I have been swimming today, I saw my psychologist and my head was in a fuzz, then I went for a swim and felt so much better.
Much love Angels333 xxx

Re: not feeling good
Hi @BlueBay
I hope your interview with the social worker went well and also it sounds are there are job opportunities around - remember - we can't see the future and never know what will happen that will be a good thing
Don't worry about not being able to draw - I can't - and I can't wrap presents either - it's a family joke by now - we all have things we can't do for lack of skills -
All you have to do right now is give yourself time - we spend time in a psyche hospital because we are feeling so vulnerable - and scared - and we are emotionally wrecked - you are in the right place at the right time - all you need to do is to be - and breathe
But it's not easy - I know from my own past
