Re: Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)
Hi @Former-Member
today we paint the gate as it didn't happen last week
so I am super excited for that
appt went well - just usual Monitor and self manage instructions which I'm ok with as MsS is settling
I am focusing on some self care for me and started seeing a counsellor weekly for myself and journaling which helps a lot
do you ever journal ?

Re: Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)
Great to hear things are settling and trust the fence painting went ahead today.
I found counseling to be most helpful, in recent times have had an over the phone appt roughly once a month to 6 weeks but the next one is a bit closer given our present situation.
I did have a garden journal at one stage which I loved doing but have really not got back into it following Mr D's crisis. I did start one when we moved 8 months ago but entries are few and far between.

Re: Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)
@Former-Member @outlander Thankyou so much For the beautiful encouragement-
lately I feel tried and tired ..
I struggle to find the energy to care for myself as I know I need to - neglecting exercises and feeling pain in hip as direct result ..
MsS wants energy and attention I cannot give at end of a work day lately I am like a wet blanket
sorry Pity Party here

Re: Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)
Thanks @outlander I have a week of leave in June that is only a few weeks away and hope to be able to have a break and recharge then .. also I'm taking half a day off a week to study for a new career direction so hopefully that starts this week and will aid in the hope department
