I’d like to be curled up in bed too @Snowie im a bit… no a lot over everything. I feel really tired. Big tired.
today…. I went to the shops for a bit. Then home to sort through more junk. Bit of prep for tomorrow’s garage sale. Then I sat and watched some tv and cut out fabric to make a bunting. Had a shower and washed my hair too.., it had been weeks 😩
very early start tomorrow yuck

You have achieved a lot today @Bow You should be proud of yourself.
Hopefully you can get to bed soon. It will certainly be an early morning for you tomorrow.
I hope tomorrow goes well and you can sell lots of things. Less to pack the better.
Thanks @Eve7
Hoping sleep comes easily tonight. It's one of those nights where staying awake won't do you any good.

Got a message from the SW (have had him since my last admission). Not coming out this week due to a paperwork issue. Something about not being approved.
Whilst I find the SW useless, he visits about once every 5 weeks for about 10-15 mins. I don't know how I am meant to form a relationship with him or tell him things I really need to say.
I would hate to be someone who relies on this. Is it really beneficial?
It still feels like a slap in the face.
I have gp tomorrow then mum has an appt. I have to make mine appt. a quick one so I can get mum to her's on time. So won't be able to tell her what's happening. Will just have to say I'm fine. Get in get out.
Just another slap in the face.
Got told this morning I don't support her enough too 😔
Just want to quit this life

Yeah I hear you there @Snowie... struggling to understand how support that is that infrequent and short would be helpful. That is frustrating to hear that you'll be missing out nevertheless.
I hope your GP is on the ball tomorrow and it's still a good appointment even if it does have to be rushed.
Sounds like there's a few things adding up today to make it a hard day. Is there anything nice you can do for yourself tonight to show yourself a bit of extra care?

@Ru-bee I guess I'm lucky that I have my psych and pdoc. I wouldn't cope if the SW was all I had.
I don't know the logic behind the support they say I get from the sw.
Self care is in the really too hard basket. Its ok, prn helping
I'm just counting down the mins until I can go to bed.
