Aren’t you just doing volunteer work and work with your clubhouse?

Just cut back,

You’ll feel better.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you can find a happy medium

Sometimes, you have to cut back. What, in your life, is an unnecessary stressor?

I’m having to slow down, too. It’s difficult to do because we have ideals about who we want to be and when we can’t live up to them, it is frustrating. We have to adjust our goals to be according to our ability.

if you are juggling 5 balls and you take away 3 balls then you only need to juggle 2 balls.

Juggling fewer balls = more relax

what i’m juggling right now-

  • Clubhouse stuff (reading group) and the rest (not essential)
  • carer for my mum (when she needs me) (essential)
  • business exploits (classes for business, more coming up) (not essential)
  • motorcycle training (not essential)
  • learning piano (not essential)
  • friends/family (making time for them) (essential)
  • Gardening (mums place and my place) (not essential)
  • social media (not essential)
  • meetups (not essential)
  • chores/shopping (essential)

I try and do a bit here and a bit there of everything but it isnt easy, i try and just get on with things and i’m trying to put sz behind me and tbh everything i do needs to be done bc nobody else will do it

even the non essential things are things that i really want to do, i dont need to do them though, its hard finding a balance, my dates are a bit mixed up, have loads of things on my alarm atm and a p/doc appt that could conflict with things.

might just be bc i was late with my dose tonight :frowning:

Give your meds a bit to work. Maybe you’ll feel better

Goodness that’s a lot of responsibility. All I’m really aiming for is a good nine to five in my field after I finish my degree.

do you have some sort of dayplanner? just reading all of that would make it tough to incorporate it all with out a daily planner/organiser.

You can use one on your phone or just pen and paper planner. That way you won’t feel as overwhelmed by it all

I have a calender on my phone but I worry it won’t alert me at the right time, I use an alarm thing atm but it’s almost full

you can make reminders on the calendar

Yeah I get overwhelmed a lot. Especially when I come up with different projects I try them all but never sticking to finish them. I’m trying now to focus on one project to finish it.
