Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Argh.... @Birdofparadise8 , fair enough. Hope you feel better soon. So did they push back your admission date?

Re: Not Coping

Not me you ought to be apologising to @Birdofparadise8 - perhaps you could try to apologise to yourself? Sometimes it can feel super uncomfortable to be kind to ourselves, but it does make a difference in my experience.

 

And with calling someone, you don't need to tell them anything about yourself. You can just say, "I'm having a tough time, I'm alone at the moment and feel like I might spiral..." and go from there. Then you can say as much or as little as you feel comfortable. Up to you. 

Re: Not Coping

They just said for me to call them when I'm feeling better @tyme 

So hopefully, I can go in on Friday. I'm feeling physically better today compared to yesterday so maybe one more day of rest will help. 

Re: Not Coping

Maybe I do need to, but I'm not sure it will do anything. I'm my own worst enemy, which is very annoying. Living in my head 24/7 and belittling myself is just great. 

I guess so. I'll see how I go. I need to go to the chemist and get my meds, and I want some ice cream, so I'll get that and see how I feel once I come back @Jynx 

Re: Not Coping

Ohh hugs my @Birdofparadise8 , sitting with you ❤️

Re: Not Coping

Sounds like a good plan @Birdofparadise8 - especially the ice cream!

 

@Shaz51 what sort of factors are part of the decision? 

Re: Not Coping

Thanks @Shaz51 

 

I just went to the chemist to get my meds and I was going to get the whole box with going into hospital but apparently I need a letter from my doctor @Jynx @tyme 

Re: Not Coping

To totally retire @Jynx  or to do a couple  of jobs 

At the moment Mr shaz has his hand I plaster for the next 4 weeks and our car is in the mechanic waiting for parts 

I am on DSP and 

I have put through the medical certificate for Mr shaz 

And 2 of our customers is happy to wait until we can come back

Re: Not Coping

Sounds wise of them @Birdofparadise8 

 

Hmm @Shaz51 a tough decision. Have you made a pros and cons list? A cliche I know, but it can really help to have it all laid out on the table.
