AS you may have noticed from my post on waking average im not 100% mental health wise Have been stuggerling for a few days. Things are not bad bad but MH team have become involved and im on their books for a week this means daily visits/phone calls Hospital was mentioned but we both agreed that i dont need it at the moment need or want it. im having mild psychoses like sytoms (seeing hearing things). Im not ill ill but things are not right. I just need to sleep had 2 hours sleep last night and the night b4 i had none at all, b4 that im lucky if i got 2 hours a night
Both MH team and staff have been very kind in supporting me i dont know wot i have done to deserve such support
Forgive me i fear i may post on this thread a bit over coming days
Thankyou for your continued support
love gail

Just wot i need got a letter from DWP a migration to UC letter i dont need it or understsnd it have untill 21st june to do it so staff have told me do it when you are better we will help you i fear i may not get the same as i do now thing is i worked for 30 years in some crappy jobs and paid mt ni/tax why cant i just be left alone I DONT NEED THIS sorry to be shouting
 
MHN sent message via receptionist saying shes busy today and on annual leave rest of the week. So i said cant wait i need help now so a duty worker is going to call me at some point today
As for UC letter spoke to manager Ann (not her real name) she helped me online wot a long winded proccess to do it online you have to open an account and we have an issue there as only proof of ID i have is my debit card so they are going to csll mein next couple of days im so stressed at mo and not well
 
I am so sorry you're going through such a stressful patch, Gail... Just take it one thing at a time. Right now - focus on you and your wellbeing, be kind to yourself <3 Post here, get in touch with MH services and do the things that give you genuine comfort, be that your music, a nice cup of tea or anything else. You mentioned you have three months to deal with the UC things so perhaps it's best to come back to this in a week or so? I sometimes find that it's easy to stress about something I feel 'looming over me' and think about it a lot, even if nothing can be done about it in the moment. What has helped me is setting 'an appointment' with that thing. For example if there's an annoying phone call I need to make, I tell myself I'll do it Thursday 3pm, which means until Thursday - I let go of it completely (out of sight and out of mind). Since I know it's on my to-do list and in the diary, I know I won't forget about it and it's no point in focusing on it right now. Not sure if this would help you, but it's always worth a shot. At the end of the day, it's sometimes about 'tricking ourselves'...
In the mean time - focus on you and if you need to rant here today or want to reach out via PM - please do so <3

I don't have any wise words to add to anything that's already been said.

I just wanted to add my voice to those that are rooting for you.
 
Adding my little voice to the others and hoping you can get some rest today and a good night's sleep tonight.<3
