The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing

[outlander]

I know how you feel @Sans911 sometimes even when your/we're online we just don't feel like chatting (or we dont know what to say) and thats more than ok.I do it sometimes as well.

It will take some time to become more trusting towards her, you havent been seeing her all that long. Lots of your past has some let downs and loss of trust too so maybe your anxiety/fidgeting is the uncertainty of how long the supports are going to last and being on edge about what you say in fear of what might happen... Could be right of the beaten track too. Youve had heaps of things happening so it really could be anything ❣

How was your half day course? If you feel like chatting about it. Are you going ok tonight?

Cars going ok, issues dont seem major so have put it to the side for a little bit while im saving up to get it looked at properly. It isnt very silver atm with some recent rain thr horses and the high winds making a mess of the dust.

My half day course was ok. One person was a bit annoying who was next to me. And other people went off topic which was frustrating. But the facilitator said some nice things about my input which was good as I really wasn't sure i knew anything about the topic. This course is possibly leading me to new directions for a different career/life. Maybe.

I'm still flat. Just struggling with the limitations of my MI on my life. Sick of being sick.

[outlander]

Im glad the course was ok despite the annoyances and was given some positive feedback @Sans911 it might be thr new start youve been waiting for. You will succed in whatever you put your mind to ❣
Sick of being sick is a good way to drescribe things thats for sure. MI is so shite.
Will give you some of my lil sis hugs, the nice warm understanding squishy ones.

[Sans911]

Hugs would be good @outlander

I really would like that so much. I'm tired of trying to justify MI sometimes. Even on the weekend retreat a lot of people were talking about how negative people are annoying and bring others down. It was so frustrating to hear this, and I wanted to scream and shout that they can't help, hence they stay away from social events. It just made me feel really sad and judged. But I stayed silent instead.

You can have as many as you like @Sans911

That does sound really upsetting, people who talk like that really dont have much understanding about MH issues and usually its hard to talk about it with them due to their own negative attitudes but try not to let those comments dampen the experience too much. You come out with some really positive points and even though you feel crappy maybe focus on that part of it for now. I am very much hearing you and feeling for you xox

[Sans911]

I felt so disconnected and disappointed at that time @outlander

I wanted to come home and I was done with living. I didn't care about living at all. I didn't come home mostly because I was a long way from home and I'd given some a ride as well. They needed to get home on Sunday. I do feel like writing to a couple of people in the organisation about this systematic attitude towards those with MI and that they need to learn to let go of these stigmas and discrimination.

My eyes are getting heavy lil Sis @outlander

Need to log out and catch up with you tomorrow hun

[outlander]

My sweet sis im going to beed to log off in a minute. So will say goodnight now. Its been good chatting with you tonight @Sans911 will send some more of those special hugs to help you through the night
💗💙💜💗💙💜

Goodnight to you too @Faith-and-Hope 💖💙❣💖💙❣

Goodnight @outlander @Sans911 ..... I have just finished cleaning up and am headed to bed too.

Sorry you were subject to those attitudes and stigmas @Sans911.  Maybe writing like that you can be instrumental in helping to shift them.

In our uni cohort there has been a strong interest expressed in using art to help people to heal ..... art therapy, workshops with children helping them learn to connect and communicate through the language of art .... it’s good to see an increasing community awareness of mi in some places, and the need to be emotionally sensitive and aware.

Goodnight you two .....
