Hi @frog, sorry about ya mum 😢 It's hard to believe it, when our parents go, I think 'cause they were always a part of our world. I lost my dad December, and mum 2018. I've lived interstate last 20yrs mostly so it's still not sunk in. Siblings all went mad, worried about money, dad's estate (derintestate), the family home (now sold & in trust). Anyway, your not alone in Grief. What you achieved today is more than enough, well done!  

What have I done? 🤔Oh yes

- solicitor apt - decisions made ✓

- overcome panic attack after ✓

- dishes ✓ - load washing ✓

- couple of posts here ✓

- cracked out recorder & memorised The Last Post for Sunday ✓

That actually doesn't sound too bad hey (thought I'd done nothing much again).  Thanks for the call out  (((((🐸)))))

Re: Daily Achievements!

What a day, last lament. Looks like you have found your inner strength and happiness X

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi @frog 

 

It was my pleasure and you’re so welcome Heart

 

I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you to face another day Smiley Sad I think that it takes an enormous amount of courage to do this and what you’ve managed to achieve today is absolutely amazing!

 

Thank you so much for your kind words - I really do believe that this is just so important, although it’s often so much easier said than done Heart

 

I also believe that living with mental health issues (and I would imagine caring for a loved one who lives with mental health issues) takes an enormous amount of courage and energy and a whole range of inner resources that would absolutely amaze some people and take them completely by surprise!

 

Please know that I’m thinking of you at this really difficult time and sending you some gentle hugs Heart

 

Take care,

 

ShiningStar Heart

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I am trying to continue with the sorting of photos. Deciding what to keep and print and what to delete is truly overwhelming.


Eating too much today, had a glass of wine for first time in a while. 

 

Over the last couple of years I have been slowly working from one room to the next around the house. I feel like possessions are tying me down. When I get through this paperwork etc next then my clothes. It Is taking me a long time as MI gets in the way.

 

Now we have been told we are in lock down 🥺😢

 

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi @Former-Member @ShiningStar @Former-Member @BPDSurvivor @Last-Lament @LostAngel @frog @Shaz51 @saltandpepper @Emelia8 @roses and all forumites here. Well done everyone on today's achievements!

 

@Former-Member I read that you are going into lockdown again- obviously in Perth somewhere- so please take it easy. Just getting through each hour of the day will be a great achievement so just remember that. I struggled for 17 weeks in Melbourne with a night curfew to boot but in the end, I was just to get through each day as it meant that I was closer to some sort of freedom again. Stay strong forumite🥰

 

My achievements for today have been-

- Starting on knitting a beanie for charity in some yarn I found buried in my room

- Going to the library to a special session on essential oils

- Buying both a jar of coffee and some cat food after forgetting them in my shopping list yesterday. This girl cannot live without coffee and I can't afford to have a hungry cat!

Re: Daily Achievements!

So right @Judi9877  we need our coffee.

yes I live in Perth.  Just sad for my grandkids you were looking forward to going away camping. I don't know how you managed 17 weeks. I don't like feeling trapped.
