My mood is slipping *help now*

[chinahorse]

I am IP during the week and always struggle when I come home at the weekends. A lot of the time I avoid going home and go to friends where I am safe.

But this weekend I have come home. And my mood is plummeting after quite a good and busy day. Im scared I will end up doing something dangerous and damaging to raise it up again.

How can you keep your mood more even? What can I do NOW to help?

If you can't be around people could you maybe phone someone? I remember phoning your dad has helped in the past. Could you arrange to meet someone tomorrow? It might help you now knowing you won't be alone the next day.

I think discussing with your team about how you struggle at the weekends is an idea. Perhaps they can come up with suggestions. I know that doesn't help you right now.

I agree with making solid hour by hour schedule of weekends with one of your workers. It would help to keep you safe.

For this weekend though can you an to do something nice in the morning, like set off back early and sit in a cafe with brunch and a book? Or make something healthy to eat like a fruit salad with natural yogurt.

You can get through this. Just keep remembering your goals. You want to be free of depression and self harm and your at the place where you can get help to change things.

Thanks guys sorry for my absence. No excuses.

Carmen it's not possible but thank you so much for the suggestion.

The idea of talking to my team and making plans is what's been suggested here. It's hard because I feel like I've failed if I change plans. I also find loose structures much more helpful.

This weekend I have no set plans bar tge usual errands. I may get a sketch book or raid the works for a crochet book as those are things I want to get in to.
