Self care mental illness
I didnt know what mental illness was until January 2007. My nephew is bi polar & I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I live with my nephew he is 26 & I am 50 in June. It helps me to do prayer & meditation & to sit in my sofa with the cool breeze & windows open with sunshine & to drink boost juice. I feel better & healthy eating healthy foods & drinking boost juice but I get very tired & I sleep & rest alot

Re: Self care mental illness
I'm lonely & I miss my husband he's in hospital & I take care of myself resting than getting up & have something to eat & drink then take the rubbish out. I use to sit & write for hours it's a really lonely without my husband & family. My sister & nephew's birthday I can't take cakes & presents & visit them but I can spend time with my other nephew & celebrate his birthday & ring them up to say happy birthday. It's hard to accept I can't do all the active things like walking for hours in the shopping centre & to be outside but to care for myself I rest on my sofa & stay in bed & sleep all night long

Re: Self care mental illness
I'm really lonely I come here to write. It's my self care to write. I miss my family & husband. I'm really blessed to have my nephew live with me & his dog & his son comes to stay a few nights & visit. My sister's have thier own lives & husband's & I don't get to see them much. I have NDIS support & support worker to help with self care & cleaning my home part of self care. I enjoy my nephew staying with me. I have a quiet home. I turned on the gas for home cooked meals instead of urber eats everyday. I use to cook alot & enjoy it. I'm lonely I wish I had a buddy to help me with self care & a buddy a email & facebook & messenger I am looking forward to cooking home cooked meals & self care journal

Re: Self care mental illness
I wanted a writers home a part of self care. A home I love & to share my husband taste in decor & a home filled with jazz classical & coffee music for mind body & soul self care. Today I have a family home & self care is sharing space & having my own space with others. I open my bedroom door to share the cool breeze windows & allow flow of energy. I have a 1 bedroom apartment & waiting for 2 bedroom ground floor disability apartment & self care is gratitude for what I have & have a roof over our heads
