Yes I have been in similar position, quite a few times.

Feeling for you both.  Hope the mh team come through, even daily outpatient group or something.

So hard to know where decent boundaries are, when love and care are so often defined as stretching oneself for another.  

 

Its important to protect yourself, and it would be great to preserve the relationship as well.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Sending support to you and your son too 💗💗

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @maddison @tyme @Former-Member @Appleblossom 

 

I was very anxious today, extremely awful anxiety

I think I left my wallet at the Cafe I went to, which is not great, but honestly so stressed that just hoping for tomorrow to come.

I get upset over everything when like this, I lose things, I feel shakey.

 

The cm has taken a lot of energy

 

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hey @EternalFlower 

 

How are you going today?

 

Thank U for message. I'm sorry you are feeling anxious and shaky. 

 

I am getting ready to go to appointment with housemate to see psych & hopefully discuss cm change! He won't let me in appt. Room! That is ok. I will be in waiting room. 

 

I will message you later when I have more time. 

Anxiety is not good. I tend to lay on my bed & let it wash over me.

Sorry you are shakey.  If you still cant find your wallet, maybe it is worth going back to that cafe when you feel up to it and ask?  

I have lost a lot of things in a similar way.  I hope it shows up, but if not, going back and asking might be a helpful thing, especially if you get it back and do not have to do all your cards again.  Sometimes we can get a little sense of relief when people do the right thing.

Take Care

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @maddison hope it went OK today...

Hey @Appleblossom I called and they had it 🙂

I picked it up this morning. I felt extremely stressed but no reason. I messaged the Cafe on social media last night and they said they would check first thing tomorrow morning

,that stressed me out as obviously no one had handed it in yet....

Actually not the case, someone had, just that it was a different staff member checking social media!

So all OK 

How are u @Appleblossom 

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi all @Appleblossom @Former-Member 

I've been offered to work with a peer worker alongside the cm, and I'm so happy

Less involvement with casemanager

More contact with someone who understands me and is caring,

Re: Trying makes it worse

@EternalFlower 

Great news on both counts.

Life is funny like that.

Good luck with your peer wkr, it sounds like it might help "educate" that cw.

 

I am alright. Hanging in there.  Did an online seminar and dinner is done.
