I was at hospital today doing a day program and I was not feeling so good today. One of the patients got really sick and was rushed to hospital by ambulance. I am hoping she is okay. And I am also hoping none of us get sick too. It was some sort of respirtaory condition and now I am worried in case she has passed something on and I am really cautious about being around anyone with flu like symtoms because my mum has a chronic lung problem and any sort of virus/infection could be potentially be quite serious for her.

Hi @oceangirl

I can understand your concerns about getting sick and passing it on to your mum.

Fingers crossed it wasn't contagious. Are there any preventative measures you can take?
Is that situation what's not making you feel so good - or was it just the "icing on the cake" so to speak?

Hope she is ok and you find out what happened soon. @oceangirl

Hello @oceangirl

Oh I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, how are you going this morning?

Understandable you are cautious around people who have flu like symptoms because of your mums lung problem, I would be too just try to use that sanitiser stuff as much as possible once you leave the hospital .

Thank you all for my messages @BlueBay @Lunar @Appleblossom @NikNik 

I did take the necessary precautions yesterday and I really apprciate the concern for my mum & me.

I think its a combination of things that is affecting me atm. I do have options of going into hospital. My specialist is seeing me tomorrow and has fitted me in, for first thing in the morning.

I am still not coping too well atm. I am quite depressed and anxious. I did get out today, and I was able to send some gifts, and wrap up their presents for them, and that made me feel a bit better because I was able to do something for someone else. Next week I have a friend moving in to my place, and think this will be really good for me because we get on so well.

I am also going to the local hospital three times a week now for the day programs and I believe this will be really good for me and I have a great relationship with my psych and psychologist there.

That sounds like it will be good company for you too @oceangirl. I'm glad you are finding the hospital programs helpful. I am going twice a week to my programs. It helps a lot to have them scheduled and have to get out for.
Sorry your depression and anxiety is still there. I've had a few days of being very depressed too. I've not managed much this week at all. It is hard to get past.
Sending hugs 💜🤗

 @Former-Member It will be good to have some company, and I think we will be good for each other too. I think its going to be a healing process for both of us. I truly understand how you feel and I am finding it tough to get past too, I was doing so much better earlier in the wk though. I think I am being too tough on myself and you are probably too.

I know you are doing the focus group and not sure what the other group is, you have probably mention it before but atm it has slipped my mind sorry @Former-Member.

Do you have anything planned for the weekend??
