Looking after ourselves

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Finally got motivated enough today to enroll in next semesters university classes.

Still not convinced it is the right decision however in the absence of anything else to do... a bit like the key reason for starting in the first place. I need something  positive to focus on in order to stay afloat.

Hearing you @Determined .... ❣️

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

I think the last 4 weeks of break and the lack of progress on planned events/ tasks demonstrate fairly clearly my need of something structured to keep me moving forward. Nothing like fast looming deadlines to get one motivated lol

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Have been reminded again today just how fragile I am under pressure.

Had workers turn up early this morning to start repairs on our roof. I was not expecting them until Thursday or Friday.

I have some queries about work processes that still have not been responded to by project manager.

 

Then today at work there was an issue that was not really mine to fix but I felt obliged to sort out. a bit of a 'hot potato' being passed around that no one wanted to know about. All of the avenues for escalation were unavailable due to meetings.  Have since been told that I would have been within my rights to say not my problem but I am not wired that way lol. 

All minor bumps within the big picture but enough to rattle me unfortunately.

 

300km round trip bike ride planned with my mum tomorrow with a stop at a bird sanctuary in between.

Darling FIL and boys are meeting us there 🙂 
 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Yikes @Determined  sounds like it is all happening, nothing like a deadline to get us moving.  

Roof repairs happening = yay.

Be nice for you to get out on the bike again and trust it helps relieve a bit of the stress you are feeling.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Roof repairs Definatly = yay @Former-Member 

Has only taken 10 months to get to this point. Same storm that totalled the car. 

Would have been nice if it happened before we moved in and the previous owners had to deal with it. 

Oh well. Despite my anxiety in the process the finished result will be worth it. 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

I was having a giggle this morning wondering who woukd be first to hit scaffolding with the car, darling or FIL, giggled too soon... turned out to be me. And of course with an audience.

One of the workers asked if we could move the car and were all watching and waiting. 😐😣

 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Ooooh ... sucky @Determined.. Glad you have found a way to make light of it by sharing it with us ..... 👍

 

 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
