Re: Topic Tuesday // How to support yourself while supporting others // Tues 18 June, 7pm AEST
Hi julia...im in a rough space at the moment. I suffer with schizoaffective disorder wich is under control with medication and counseling but my best friend also has a mental illness and im also a single mum with full custody of my two daughters and their father my ex partner and his new partner have drug addiction problems and they have a new child who is now related to my children and i worry for everyone. I often obsess about my ex partners problems with drug addiction and worry for his new child and i also worry for my friend who sometimes doesnt cope well with life stresses and i also try to support my children however i feel a bit lost at the moment and just wish i could have a big sleep for a week and wake up feeling refreshed but i know thats not an option . Ive had people tell me to do mindfullness relaxation but i just have no energy and i feel like i just want to have a few drinks and smoke ciggarettes however i know this aint the best idea. Im just so tired.

Re: Topic Tuesday // How to support yourself while supporting others // Tues 18 June, 7pm AEST
Hi @Daisy15 sorry you just missed the discussion last night. If you're new to the forums then welcome. There were some really good ideas for self-care while looking after others in the discussion. Maybe it would be helpful for you to read through it if you can. You certainly have a lot on your plate. Sending you strength and hoping you find some of the suggestions helpful.
@eheadspace Julia and @Former-Member tagging you here and hoping you can respond to and help Daisy15. Tagging you too @outlander and @CheerBear coz you're both caring for children while looking after yourself like Daisy15 is and you might be able to give some tips.

hi @Daisy15 and welcome to you.im not sure i can be much help as im not a mum. i can relate trying to maintain your own wellbeing while worrying and having to care for others too. would you like to start a thread for yourself so that i and others can support you more? please feel free to have a look around as well and join in where you like.
if youd like to tag a member, just put an @ before the members name just as weve done for you
