Hello 👋 

hope you’re ok or coping and safe.

I was in hospital for a while but back home this week. Been difficult. Was the right decision and I’ve learnt a lot. Long journey ahead though.

Thanks @BlueBay

it was the best thing for me even if I hate admissions. 

How are you?

@Former-Member I’m struggling at the moment mentally and physically. I have the flu and been home all week in bed. It’s really affected my mental health. Hopefully I can sleep tonight. Last two nights I’ve coughed non stop. It’s terrible. 

[Former-Member]

Oh @BlueBay  I hope you feel better soon and can sleep tonight. It’s terrible when our physical health impacts on our mental health. Take good care of yourself x

Quick Hi @Former-Member .... good to see you 🌷

I am still on the go, helping my daughter sort out an issue with a uni application.  Apart from that, my rollercoaster existence continues at varying paces .... I am loving my uni course, but not much about home life is smooth.

Hello @Former-Member

Its good if you feel that being in hospital gave you sanctuary, support or more ideas/skills for life.  

My pdoc said to me, today .. "you are doing everything humanely possible to keep your head out of water. You just gotta keep doing the same" ... I felt heard and I mimicked a dog paddle and we both laughed at the end of the session.  Its good when the system works.
