Debbie Cousins's Journal, 19 June 2019

Things are going very, very badly with my friend, which means they are going very badly with me. She is not coming home. Tuesday was a day of extreme crisis! Yesterday, I never even got on the website because I was totally emotionally drained. I have 289 unread Notifications! Today (Thursday) is my birthday. My daughter is making lunch and bringing it over, and my son and twin friends are coming, too. I MIGHT take the kids to the pool before all that if I am feeling up to it. First step: go back to bed!

I'm so sorry that your friend is having such a difficult time, Debbie. Mental illness *and* struggles with her family -- a very tough combination. Keep in mind that you can be no help to her if you're not at your best. Maintain your discipline even if it's for the sake of being able to "be there" for others. Be gentle with yourself!

I am not sure if this helps, but I have a friend who recently had an episode and they are still recovering from it. I tend to want to help people solve their problems, but another friend reminded me that with mental illness solving the problem isn’t black and white and there is only so much a friend can do to make a difference when the person is having an episode. None of this is your fault and you are doing the best you can, which is much more than many people would do in the first place!

Happiest of Birthdays to you! Relaxing in bed seems like a good birthday present to yourself. Relax. Relate. Release.

aw Debbie, sorry about your friend. Is this the one you wanted to try and visit a while back? I know that can't be easy. I hope they can turn that around and its not a final decision. Despite all that, I hope you enjoy your birthday and your family, and that you are well rested for the day. Happy birthday my friend!

Try to relax and enjoy your birthday. Make it a happy time for others if you can't do so for yourself. They want to cheer you up and have a nice time with you. Try some deep breathing exercises. They help with relaxation. Look on youtube for some Qigong and anxiety videos.
