Re: I can’t cope
I'm so glad they are considerate of your back.... IF perchance you opened up about your MH, do you think they'd also be considerate? Just a thought.

Re: I can’t cope
I gave the Pix the bone at our place. @tyme. Angel had doggy chocolate at her place.
If my parents were like this all the time, I would consider it. I do have moments where I think I could tell them but the only thing I can guarantee is the negative judgment.
I would love to be able to ask for their support. But I can and will do this essentially alone! I have you guys and my team

Re: I can’t cope
Fair enough @Captain24 . I'm not sure I'd want to tell my parents either. I think they'd interfere too much. I wanted to make the journey without people imposing on me. Because I knew if I had an inner desire to get better, I would. I didn't want to 'get better' for other people's sake. It had to be for my own sake.

Re: I can’t cope
I’m doing it for me @tyme. I will get better. I know I fail a lot but I’m hoping that as I move along in recovery I will fail less and less. Tonight is an ok one even through the extreme pain. Tonight I’m not a failure.

Re: I can’t cope
I agree you are not a failure... tonight, or any night @Captain24 . And I'm sure Pix agrees! Pix is on top of the world with that treat! You are a godsend in Pix's eyes!

Re: I can’t cope
The rest of my life, however long or short it is, is going to be hard work. @tyme. I will work to be strong enough to deal with the manic and depressive episodes. I have to stop seeing it as failing. I just struggle with that right now.
I just need to focus on the line from the movie last night. ‘I have an illness, I am not the illness!’
That movie was amazing! ‘Words on bathroom walls’
Im guessing you are heading off now. Thank you for today. I hope you sleep well and that your headache has eased. Enjoy tomorrow.

Re: I can’t cope
Goodnight. Speak to you sometime during the week @Captain24 . Hope your back is 100% by the time I speak to you next, and you can then do gymnastics lol!

Re: I can’t cope
I did manage to get some sleep last night @Snowie. My back only woke me a couple of times. It’s slightly better today. Thank you for asking.
Plus I’m feeling mentally ok today! So that’s a good start. I just had a therapist appointment and I have to focus better on my diet and hydration! My dietitian is already trying to help me work on that.
I am dreading the drive to the MRI appointment though. I’ll just take lots of painkillers..
Im hoping that today is going well for you too!
