Hello @Shaz51 how was your trip? I seen @Mazarita ask too so we are all wondering 🙂


Im ok for the moment @Bubbles3 im watching cars 3 and just had lunch. Im babysitting today with work later. How are you?

[Shaz51]

Hello @outlander, @Bubbles3, @Former-Member, @Zoe7   The trip was tiring , long, and good , it was 12 hours there and 12 hours back

In between staying a few nights with S2 and then a few nights with S3 were up and down, think mr shaz wanted to get up and leave  a few times  lovely, tiring like any family holidays

I wish i can help them more S3 and S2 have their own MI like their dad but i feel it has gone worse ,and to help their partners

 Mr shaz is way over it and is glad to be back home , I told him we are having this week off as well

[Mazarita]

Hi @Shaz51, good that you are home now, great that you are taking this week off work too. Sorry to hear there are worsening MI issues within the family. Hugs. 

Hi @Bubbles3, thanks for the greeting. I've seen you around a fair bit but not directly chatted. Today I'm struggling to wake up still, as is often the case for me in the daytime, struggling to stay awake at all actually. But I'm okay. The tiredness usually lifts later in the day (and then I can't sleep at night, lol). C'est la vie. How are you today? 

[Shaz51]

yes @Mazarita , I think that my 2 DIL`s are getting snowed under with the MI  issues but they are saying that S2 and S3 need to change

I think my DIL`s have MI issues too but they are saying nothing

@Shaz51, possibly lots of people are in denial about their mental health issues. So glad you are home and not having to deal with the extra stress now. Did you have any good times while away, special moments?

[Bubbles3]

i often feel like that @Mazarita

im ok . feeling down. hearing voices again

[Bubbles3]

im not doing to well @outlander

hearing voices again

[Mazarita]

That's hard, @Bubbles3. Do you have things you do to deal with the voices? Does it signal a need for increased medication? I've recently increased the dose of one of mine (on psychiatrist suggestion) and I think it is helping me, at least some of the time.

@Mazarita

Played board games with S2 and S3 partner`s children ( 4 in all ) who call me nan

Ha ha we kept them busy , watched movies went for walks , shopping , water world , maccas , BBQ at the river

no cooking any meals , did help though , S2 has a cat , S3 has pigs, birds, 8 cats , 4 dogs , turtle , chikens , horses

overnight stay somewhere on the way home , out for dinner  yesterday went for a rainforest walk to a waterfall xx

How are you my awesome sister xx

That sounding oretty tough @Shaz51 but theres only so much you can do. They have to want help and accept it as well otherwise i find they just go into more denial. Speaking from experience as i had to first admit i needed help before i could really get it.


Sorry to hear that @Bubbles3 what usually helps when they come around?
