Let`s Talk -- how was you day today !!

[Carlachris]

Not good but getting there. One step forward three back kinda day. My head is done in with restraining the constant babble of confusion al’a Aspergers style. Patience stretched slightly but hoping a good sleep calms hubbies thought processes. Hope you and everyone else are doing what we do do best and like me taking at least 5 minutes for ourselves amongst the noise.

My day was a shocker - I'm nackered (totally exhausted).

In fact each day has been like that for the past week.

I go out of my way (& unpaid overtime) to do more & more.

Then the next day, even more is expected of me - just because I barely managed it, last time.

Burning out I think, really need a holiday...

My back pain is horrendous todnight.

Oh Adge back pain can put us over the edge.I hope you can find your way through by doing what you need. My legs are my source of pain. 4 knee replacements in 6 yrs. -3 here tonight doesn’t help in the slightest. Looking forward to some warmth on my bones. All the best

Hello @Shaz51 nice to be in touch again - I have been out of the loop for a while. My mum had another episode which lasted for several months. She is calming down now - the one good thing is that my husband and I are handling things a bit better. We have realised it is not possible to "fix" everything, and if we did there would just be more to fix in a month or so anyway. It sounds simple but those realisations have made a big difference to us. I hope things are going ok for you too - I read that you hadn't been feeling too well

Hi @Shaz51 & everyone.

I just got back from my monthly MH Support Group meeting.

It was all men (3 others).

That's the first time that any other man (apart from myself) has gone to it.

[Shaz51]

how was your meeting @Adge xx

[Adge]

Good for a sense of social connection @Shaz51 Thanks.

It seems that I am the only core group member, unfortunately.

No one else has come more than once.

They say they like it, but they don't come back.

Good on you  @Adgefor sticking it out ...

I think the fear of rejection is as strong as the desire to belong and find one's tribe.  There needs to be regular meetings if the fear is to be overcome ...

[Adge]

Thanks @Appleblossom Yes I think you are right.

Although my "tribe" seems to be on another planet, rather than this one...
