Hi everyone

[Arty]

Thank-you so much for your useful replies. Yesterday afternoon my eldest did a lot to help (youngest was out) and it allowed me to properly rest. I haven't planned a lot for the week ahead. Also, I am fitting in some 'Headspace' time again.
My journal is also useful, writing feelings down.

Sounds really positive lovely. Well done!

Thank-you Suzi x

Hi there,
Just wanted to tell you that I have been to the psychiatrist today I go every 6 months to monitor my progress. I told him the things I am doing to stay well eg. Using my SAD lamp, writing in my journal, walking etc. etc. We agreed to keep my meds’ the same as they seem to be working. When I consider where I was a few years ago, I have really have come a long way. Just need to keep pacing myself! Seeing a good MH professional really can help, I am very grateful. Hope you are all doing ok xx

Such a positive post Arty, continue doing what you're doing it seems to be working.

[Suzi]

That's so fabulous. I was wondering how you were doing

[Arty]

Hi,
Me again
I am getting the warning signs to slow down again. When I start to feel better my brain says ‘you don’t need your meds’. In fact, every day I have the medication argument in my head. Acceptance of your condition, whatever it is, is a huge thing. 19 months since my husband left & I am still doing ok.
I wish you all a happy Sunday xx

You’re doing ok? That’s fab. I hope you’re going to need the warning signs tho ....

[OldMike]

Hi Arty, yep accepting your condition and that you need meds is a good step, I'm glad you're doing okay

[Suzi]

Are you slowing down a bit? Taking care of you? Still taking your meds?
