2 Wellness Toolbox A key question I always ask myself when I am trying to increase my wellness tools is What helps me feel better? Memory Box (in Progress). - holding and remembering some of the happy times and happy things in my life. Spending quality time with xxx and xxx - This reminds me of my worth as a mother and the role I have to play in their lives. Spending quality time with friends getting out with friends can distract me from my thoughts Having sofa days with xxx chilling with xxx means I don t have to speak but I m with someone who can support me if needed. Going to church/spirituality reconnecting with my spiritual beliefs and having a sense of calm Mountain meditation mindfulness Cuddling the dog sense of calm and time to be in the moment with her unconditional love Hiding (in moderation) help recharge my batteries Weekends away taking myself away from some of the stresses for a few days Going for a drive in the country time to think and reflect Watching the waves - Reading and reading trashy mags Being creative (crafty) Cooking Watching television (soaps, reality shows, films and documentaries) Being Creative (Crafty) doing crafts Remember my self-worth as a person (everyone has worth no matter who they are) Value schema therapy work ( look at the different modes this information is in my therapy file under construction may 2014)

Remembering the reasons why Im doing the activity and remembering that it may not always change my mood straight away Triggers Triggers are external upsetting events or circumstances which produce discomfort. These are things I don t expect and which I have may little control of over. Triggers are different for everyone. These reactions are normal but if not dealt with may make me feel worse Places Comments Negative Judgement Anniversaries Unexpected stress Action Plan List wellness tools I can help myself feel better when I have experienced a triggering event or circumstance. Use mindfulness techniques Look at schema therapy work working on the mode or modes that have been triggered Look at descriptions of me from other people, remembering my self-worth as a person Spending time with family and friends, using away days as distraction Try to normalise the stress, remembering that my reaction to some stresses could be the way I have reacted in the past
5 Early Warning Signs Early warning signs are those internal signs that I notice when I am starting to feel badly. Sometimes I am not sure why I am experiencing these early warning signs. I just know that they are there My early warning signs are very much attached to how they make me feel along with starting to Feel hopeless Self-esteem starts to drop Start to isolate myself Ignore my phone Anxiety starts and increases Start to miss medication Stop eating healthy and start to comfort eat Poor housekeeping Start to cancel appointments Telling people I m fine Putting on a front Start to increase the amount of commitments I have Not able to say no Start to think negatively Thoughts of self-harm Collecting/hording meds Ignoring bills Avoiding my children Not cooking dinner Writing becomes harder for me to do (find it hard to sign my name) Concentration starts to get worse Things become more of a chore to do rather than enjoying things Start to forget my tools I have learned in therapy Skip breakfast Noticing lots of bread and milk Lots of out of date food in the fridge Become over animated with lots of smiles and saying yes to everything Spending excessively Appearing more irritable Lack of confidence Reduced tolerance levels Action Plan List of wellness tools I can use to help myself feel better when I notice that I am experiencing early warning signs Spending time with family Spending time with friends Sofa days with xxxx Embracing mindfulness Mountain meditation Cuddling Dog xxxx
6 Weekends away Drive in countryside Watching the waves Remembering my self-worth Cooking Eating healthy Structure to my day Buy happy Wednesdays When things are breaking down At this stage my wellness tools are starting to fail. No matter what I try I am feeling worse every day Do things I normally wouldn t do Not turn up for appointments Run away Make active plans to end life Send Dog to sons house Stop doing voluntary work Stay in bed all day Excessively misuse medication to hide and stop thoughts Buying into illogical/negative/damaging thoughts Sense of humour changes to a black humour No tolerance levels Lack of eye contact Lack of confidence in everything List my plan to address symptoms of things breaking down. The plan needs to be very directive with fewer choices and very clear instructions. Take some time to think about my illogical and negative thinking before acting on this behaviour. Talk to people about how I am feeling and ask for help from supporters and care team where necessary Make appointments if this will help to discuss the here and now issues

I find it very difficult to actually state how I m feeling over the phone
9 Part 7: Acceptable/unacceptable hospitals to be admitted to Acceptable xxxx Unacceptable xxx hospital admission to this site would cause more crisis.
