@Snowie that's really great that you can talk to his daughter about all this. she sounds like someone you can lean on.
oh wow, getting her the MHCP is a big step!! really glad to hear she's giving it another go, fingers crossed she clicks with her new psych. i know it isn't easy for either of you, but definitely a win here!!
it's 30+ this weekend for me too! i'll probably be doing the same, just lying on my couch next to the air con.
it's hard when everyone's got different schedules, that's the one part of 'adulting' that sucks! but it does make those little moments when everyone is able to get together extra special.

I'll just have aircon, pool and be chilling @Snowie
The pool makes such a difference. And solar panels means we can use air con as much as we want.

@rav3n I think it is a lot like the community here. It is easier to talk to someone who has gone through similar things that you have. They understand better and you don't have to explain yourself as much. It's easy to talk to her as she knows what I'm going through.
Getting a MHCP was a big step, especially as she doesn't believe in psych's. Not sure what changed her mind but will just go with it,
It is hard when they are both working but it's good for them to earn their own money.
No pool here @tyme but a good air con so that helps.
Going to head to bed. Today's been a big one. Thanks to you both for the company tonight, it has really helped.

Hi @Snowie , am so amazed your mother has decided to get a MHCP and see a psych!
Hoping you get through the next 2 hot days OK ❤

So set a few goals for the new year. One was trying to read more.
Reading is something I used to love before my mental illness, so want to try and get back into it.
I have been saving some money and brought myself an ereader yesterday. Have spent the morning downloading books onto it. Luckily my D has one herself and showed me how to download books for free!! (Kids and the technology they use!)
Hopefully I can make good use of it.
Also with going overseas trying to sort out my meds. I need to get copies of my prescriptions and a letter from the doctor. Might not need them but better to be prepared.

It's actually been ok @Eve7
Very much a 'no people' day today. Was able just to stay in my own little shell.
