I believe Molly has been rapid cycling all day today. I have seen sadness, crying, aggression, agitation, slow processing and periods of exaggerated laughter.

On the whole manageable, lots of patience, reassurance, good listening skills and self control was required!!

The new medication has yet to be started even though this was agreed last Friday, getting the preparation of the Aripiprazole has caused the delay.

This feels like we are treading through wet concrete and we have to keep moving, it is now almost 10 months since the catatonia started and her surgery for her GI Bleed happened.

We managed church again this morning 🙏🏻 always a safe supportive space for us to be.

Today we have spent more hours out and about than we have achieved in a while, transitioning back was not without behaviours but I cope better these days. I accept I am powerless over her presentation and can only endeavour to support and advocate for her. Molly is suffering serious mental health problems and right now, I can only trust the process and plans set out before her.

Keeping hopeful and keeping on keeping on….
