While I was in hospital my wife booked tickets for us (and her parents) to go by coach to the seaside tomorrow. I am however still struggling badly with noise and high stimulus... and in addition to that, the crisis team have booked to come and see me in the afternoon so I've declined the invite.
This is going to be my first day at home on my own in over 2 months and I am going to have to manage my time so that I don't spiral... identify signs if I do and reach out for help if things start getting too much... test will be in the pudding as they say, but it's been noticeable to me how the antenna of my wife has picked up on my dips quicker than I, so yeah.. going to miss her, but I still want her to go and get away for a day... she needs the break and has been looking forward to it.
