overwhelmed
I have too much going on rn and I'm finding it really difficult 😞
That's awesome @roseisnotaplant, do you have much planned for the school holidays?
@roseisnotaplant Sorry I didn't get back to you. An unexpected flare hit. I'm glad you're able to take a break from appointments. What does maintaining functionality mean to you? For me, it's about doing what's important to me and letting people help me by being honest about how I'm feeling and accepting that even though I might feel bad now, I won't feel like this forever. its hard when you've got symptoms managed to a certain point and things change and get more intense. It can feel like a step backwards and requires a readjustment of routines and expectations. Do what you can and respect your limits. If you are like me, you'll want to do everything on your good days only to land in bed for a few days in order to recover. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes not.
@Shadow I'm also guilty of doing everything on my good days and then needing a few days of just lying in bed to recover. I'm working on finding the balance atm but it's hard.
(Also I'm no longer stoked about the prelims. I am very un-stoked about the prelims. How dare you Adelaide :P)
ooo, where abouts are you going @roseisnotaplant?
That's so cool, I love some gardening - very therapeutic
Sorry I've been a bit out of the loop, how are things going?
Gardening is totally therapeutic - I got the first flower on one of my tomato bushes and I'm tOO EXCITED.
Things have been a bit up and down over the last week or so. We're addressing the too many appointments problem (although I have to come back from our holiday to see my paediatrician HAHAHAHAAHA. ha. haha.). Sometimes I'm okay and sometimes I'm not and I think that's okay for now.
hi @roseisnotaplant how are you today?
as you know i havent been around much but would like to keep up here, do you want to catch me up in a summary?
So I saw my paediatrician last Wednesday and she prescribed me antidepressants and melatonin (because I'm now suddenly having a lot of trouble sleeping). Neither these have done anything but I wouldn't expect them to yet because I've only been on them for lie four days.
School started back today, but I had a really bad day yesterday and today hasn't been great either, so I didn't go which I'm angry with myself about. I've got a meeting with my house leader tomorrow to sort something out though, as well as a meeting with my OT on Thursday so I think between them we'll sort something out for what me and school are going to look like this term.
So I guess I'm doing okay? Kind of? Watched Paper Towns today and did some other stuff - I'm kind of just trying to distract myself atm.
What did you think of Paper Towns @roseisnotaplant?
How have you been over the past couple of days?
I've been okay over the last few days. I've been getting to little bits of school which is good. I had a meeting with my house leader and we've worked out a plan for the week which is really helpful. Been doing a lot more gardening too which is a good way to get outdoors and trick yourself into doing exercise 😛
hi @roseisnotaplant sorry i missed this convo! glitch in the site as im now aware of and wondered why it was so quiet here!
im really glad your meeting went well and also that your going to school
keep up the great work 🙂
hey @roseisnotaplant i didnt get notifications for here either!
glad your doing ok and that your meeting went well. kepe up the great work 🙂
how have you been today? do you have any plans for the weekend?
I'm doing pretty good atm, way better than earlier this week. I went to this girls group at school today which was fun and a way for me to meet new people. I'm seeing the school counsellor and my OT next week and I'm feeling really good about how things are going. I still have to let my friends know what's going on though - I might make a new thread about that.
No plans for the weekend yet - maybe some spring cleaning or something 😛
Hey @roseisnotaplant hope the weekend is going well and that you've been able to do some more gardening!
Hope the appointments next week go well, too!
im really glad things are going well for you! i hope your able to make some cool new friends too 🙂
was it like an interest group? @roseisnotaplant
I don't really know @scared01 it's run by the wellbeing team and I think it's just a place for girls to make new friends or something.
