A mental health day
So as many of you know the last few weeks have been very hard for my family. It has been even more of a struggle for me and my daughter we both have severe OCD issues. Schedules that we are used to have gone out the window and it is pretty much been fly by the seat of your pants for almost 3 weeks now. Honestly we have both done very well. But today after she got so anxious and almost had a breakdown over the video game not loading fast enough
Me I am exhausted and overwhelmed. But I just keep going because I know my family needs me to keep it together. But each day it feels a tiny bit harder.
Joel decided to talk to her and I. He told us that he felt that we both needed a mental health today. He had already talked with my buddy and he was going to take the boys to school tomorrow and Joel would pick them up when they got out of school and take them over to Grandma's for dinner. That way my daughter and I could just have a day of nothing. Neither one of us argued I think we both knew it was something that we needed. I know I need this.
So our plans for tomorrow is to have a simple breakfast and to spend most of the day in sensory room then we'll have lunch and we might go downstairs into the game room and sit by the fire and watch some Disney movies. We both definitely need a day too relax decompress and not worry about anything. I'm so thankful that I have a partner that looks out for us and points these things out to us. Our focus for the last 3 weeks has been to get star better. I know we have let our mental health issues slide a little bit. And with her coming home on Friday having a mental health day tomorrow will be the perfect thing for us both.
And you can bet that we will be making s'mores tomorrow.
This partner of mine, I don't deserve him.
