Hi @Shaz51
I am so tired and could use the sleep but I have to work before catching up with some friends later. Agree sometimes we definitely need to be able to say NO. Only do what you believe you can and do not cross the limits. Has the family reunion events been going ok for both of you?
Hi everyone else! I hope your weekend has been going great.
Sorry been a bit MIA on the forums this week. It has been busy waking up, working then go play tennis/dance etc then after back to work til wee hours of morning and then back to work again. Then on Thursday morning got a surprise text from my partner to say because he has alot of stuff he is making a return overnight trip. So Friday & Saturday was spent with him. He seems happier of late now that he is holidaying. Helps that his mum and sister are dealing with extended family issues (which apparently has not been happy ones!). Telling him go on his holiday and when his holiday ends they will sit down and tell him all that has been happening. They know full well that if they told him what has been happening then he will get so mad, cut his holiday short and return home early which ruins his trip. Also helps his brother has been behaving well and not act up. So things are looking good for him and his mental health.
He opened up to me the Saturday early morning when we were busy watching movies on couch, having a few drinks. He was going to the loo a bit and shower quite a bit as well. I asked him if all was ok and he said cause his meds had finished the anxiety was back and today was the first day that he is back on the meds (earlier he went see psych and got the prescription) so he was real anxious and had a stress cigarette which later made him feel icky so he showered. It is a good thing that he was honest and seemed self aware and trying sort it out. He kept apologising to me but I told him don't be sorry and that understand and was hugging him so he feels a bit better. Hopefully helped a little.
The partner be back this weekend with the remaining luggage of his and back for my ball. He mentioned he is coming back just for me and my ball. Makes me feel loved but slightly guilty cause it is cutting his trip a bit short and I know how much of a break he needs at the moment.
