I was supposed to go wedding dress shopping today, which I was very excited for. I'm in the middle of a week off work, which again I've been looking forward too.
But now my mother is in the mental health ward of the hospital under a section 136 after a frenzied search for her (myself and my partner and the police) on Tuesday night led to her being sectioned. She was suicidal though not planning on acting on this.
I already have my 12 year old sister living with me as my mother had a complete breakdown in January. My 14 year old sister is currently with my nan but I'm not sure how long she will manage her as she has aspergers, ODD and ADHD. She frequently runs off and gets into trouble and goes missing. She was brought home by police 27 times in 6 weeks and has been sectioned under the mental health act 3 times. There were queries of psychosis but that doesn't appear to be the issue.
It was just a matter of time before my mother completely broke down and now it has happened. I'm glad she is where she can get help. She also had an eviction notice through a few days before this all happened so that was worrying her.
I have spent the past 2 days on the phone to the surgery, camhs, family members, social services, housing association and stuff trying to organise things and cancel/reschedule any appointments.
I'm not really expecting anything from posting this, I think I just need to get it out that I am frustrated, tired and finding it quite difficult to motivate myself and keep my happiness levels nice and high. I am holding it together for the most part, though I did break a little earlier and literally just sat on the floor and had a cry for a few minutes.
I then pulled myself together, got myself dressed and made some lunch. The issue now is that doing that used up all the motivation and energy I was able to drag up and now I don't feel like moving off the sofa even though I have a long list of things to do.
Sorry this is so long. I tend to ramble sometimes.
