Looking after ourselves

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Hi @Determined, haven't heard anything for you from a while. You doing OK?

 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Hi @Smc  thanks for checking in.

I have been passively lurking in the fringes when I get a chance but pretty focussed on uni assessment at the moment. 

I actually didn't realise it had been so long since I was on. 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

@DeterminedGood to hear back from you. Hope the assessments go well.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Thanks @Smc 

One almost done today. Another to do over the next week. Struggling with focus atm. 5 weeks and this semester is done. 

 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Going to be a long 5 weeks. 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

@LearningWaters  this is the thread I mentioned about boundaries.

If you go back to page 1 there is an explanation and links back to previous threads. 

 

Happy to answer any questions you have the best I can. Thread gets a bit off track to its inital intent but still I think shows the necessity of self care and boundaries. 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Feeling almost human this morning for the first time in over a week. Have been quite sick. Hoping we have finally turned the corner and on the improve as I have a mountain of work to catch up on 😩

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Well that didn't last long.

Went to work today after 3 weeks off and totally wiped out at the end of it. 

Study and assessment not going well either. Still better than I was but not quite yet functional 🥴

Smiley Frustrated
Sounds like you need to continue some self administered TLC @Determined. Bugs that hang around like that are frustrating.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Looks like it @Smc 

I have juat been messaged and politely asked not to go to work tomorrow. I didn't think I was quite that bad but people were worried about how sick I looked. 

Site supervisor where I work will tell my boss who works at a different site tomorrow. At least that way it is not me who is piking ad I don't like to be unreliable. Which I feel I have been this semester 😕
