Hey @Emmylou,

Just wrote back to you on another thread. It can be frustrating when a self care plan is created but not implemented. Complex mental health can be very hard to navigate both in it, and caring for someone with it. I understand your need to support your sister and the stresses she is going through too. Have you guys been able to get aby kind of support? We do have a guided service you could both access independently to help you with your journeys? 

Here is the link, maybe check it out....

Hi @Faith-and-Hope 👋

[Faith-and-Hope]

How are you going @Determined ?

I am in a lull at the moment.  Just keeping busy, setting my sails for the next storm ….

Slowly sinking here @Faith-and-Hope 

3 weeks of.work then some time off until mid Jan.

Have a ton of around the house stuff to catch up on and hopefully get some in home support organised so FIL can come home from hospital. Ideally Darling would sort that but she is struggling to keep herself afloat so it is all on me :face_with_rolling_eyes:

❤️ @Determined …..baby steps huh ?  Overwhelm can bring on inertia.  The only way I know to keep going is to do something small, then another something small, then another something small ….. pebbles in a jar.
