Re: My Mosaic

If that's what you need to do tomorrow that's okay @Bow 

Does the new sw know that tomorrow's a day you'll need extra support?

Re: My Mosaic

I have no idea @Ru-bee  i don’t know what my SW told her, don’t know what kind of hand over she did. And I don’t know if I would feel comfortable telling her cause I don’t know her.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow i hear you, honestly i feel frustrated for you too - the fact that your SW cover is also going to be away is unfortunate timing. but let's see if we can come up with a plan for tomorrow? 

 

are there any people or groups you'd feel comfy attending? (is there an art class you can join, is spending time with D or mum helpful? do you have helplines ready to reach out to if things get too heavy?)

 

maybe we can make a lil schedule, is there anything on for you tomorrow? (any appointments or errands?)

 

let me know what works for you.

Re: My Mosaic

I don’t have any plans or anything for tomorrow @rav3n  i just take daughter to school and then pick her up in the afternoon. No art group, they usually do sport group on Thursday but I dont go to that. 
I was going to message my old SW but I forgot. So maybe I can do that in the morning. But apparently a lot of them are away sick. I’ll still try though. 
part of me wants to just spend the day in bed cosy and hiding. But other part wants to just keep really busy.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow ahh yep, forgot that its flu season as well, tricky when lots of people are sick! okay so it sounds like you've got a few things down already:

 

- dropping D to school

- message SW in the morning

- pick up D

maybe we can plan 1-2 more things to keep you busy?
heading to bed is always an option if things start to feel unsafe, you can absolutely hide in there whenever you need. 

 

are there any craft projects at home (like the furniture upcycling) or maybe a Lego that might keep you occupied? or any cleaning tasks/chores that can keep you busy? for me, cleaning out my closet takes up hours and is a nice distractor.

Re: My Mosaic

I need to go to bunnings @rav3n  so I can continue with some furniture up cycling. I could potentially go after dropping d off at school… depending how I feel, might be too overwhelming.

Will you just sit with me please @AuntGlow 

 

you know I just wanna go to bed escape the thoughts, the memories, everything. But then the nightmares. There truly is no escaping it. 

I stupidly watched videos tonight. It’s so tempting
