Re: Daily Check In Space
That is a relief @greenpea 🙏
The last thing I would want to do is upset the beautiful pea. I see you're online too. Have you had any sleep?

Re: Daily Check In Space
Oh hunny I'm sorry @greenpea
About the same for me here. Two peas in a pod aren't we?
I want to try to have a little doze. My alarm is set for 7, so hopefully catch another couple of hours 🤞
Love you little pea.
You've got this.
Remember I'll be there with you holding your hand 🧚🧚♂️

Re: Daily Check In Space
Thanks @cloudcore
Hello @Sunrise9 @DTrain and @Shaz51
Sorry your experience was not great @Anastasia
It was really good to see your interaction @outlander and @greenpea .
In answer to the questions
1) I am waiting with "caring" things in the lap of the gods atm. I am realising that "waiting" is a very familiar feeling for me, having been in the state system for a long time. It does not mean I am totally passive, but Should I learn to escalate more, which is what my son seems to be doing?
Questions ....
2) Made a call to cancel one appointment today in self care.... or am I not doing enough? More Questions ...
3) Have another bath before I lose that option.

Re: Daily Check In Space
Hey @greenpea that sounds like an incredibly tough time for your son and for you. I hope the help you are seeking is helpful! It can take knocking on lots of doors sometimes to find the right people to help. How old is S2?

Re: Daily Check In Space
Good morning
It's so wonderful to read the support @Appleblossom @cloudcore @greenpea @Anastasia @Shaz51 are providing to each other.
I wanted to answer the original questions but now I can't remember, lol!
I'll try
1. I'm at around a 5 - middling. I'm just weary tired.
2. My son who lives with OCD and Schizophrenia just started a job recently, lots of support provided from me to get him through the application process etc, but he did the work and the interview and I am super proud. But he's only 4 weeks in and he's persisting with his intention to relocate to a city 4 hours away next year because his girlfriend is moving there to go to dance school. I feel so frazzled, I want to pull my hair out! Getting a job and any kind of income is tough at the best of times, but at least here he has the support of his community. I don't think he's ready to leave yet, he's only 17 and got some maturing to do. I'm worried about him. I decided to take the day off work today - some self care/a wellbeing day.
3. I have decided to return to Uni study next year, time to focus on my goals for a while hey? I've spent the last 2.5 years putting all 3 of my boy's needs first through their various serious episodes of ill health.
