I can’t cope

Hi @Captain24

It is understandable when you are feeling sick that you can become overwhelmed by all the things on your need to do list. Maybe just accepting that some things can just wait until you have the mental and physical energy again. Today it is enough to go for a shower perhaps? See how you feel immersed in soothing water and if you have some nice smelling soap and just take a moment to just BE. Floors will wait and it takes enormous effort to just get into a shower somedays so if you can do that and let it be a win for the day and take it from there perhaps? 💝 be kind to yourself now, even one thing today is enough.

Thanks @Tolly.

Maybe I should have a shower and make it mindful. No cleaning it. Maybe that will change perspective if, like you said, I just let myself BE in the shower. The only part of the floors that really matter is where mum is going to see tomorrow when she picks up my dogs. The only ironing that needs to be done is my work clothes that I need for the next few days. I do have to make curried egg so I have sandwiches for work tomorrow and Saturday. That’s still a lot though. Maybe mum won’t notice the floors but there is a bit of grass in them from where all the dogs come in and out. It’s all too much. But I go back to work tomorrow. I’ll go and get in the shower though and see what happens after having some relaxing time. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi @Captain24

Have a wonderful soothing shower and be kind and gentle to yourself, you are doing enough 💝

@Captain24 Hello my friend. I can see things are really hard for you right now. I’m really sorry it is like that and I can see you are trying hard to get through and do what you can. Every little thing counts. Just being here counts. You are so valued and loved on the forums.

I hope the shower helps.

I too have been so very unwell. It’s been so very hard. Nothing is getting better. So I have so much empathy for you and understanding. I find it hard to sometimes find your posts. You are welcome to tag me.

@Captain24 I'm so glad that he bulk billed you and that you've got the script.

I'm sorry to hear how sick you're feeling and I'm sorry I wasn't around when you needed me.

I'm glad you've got enough food so that shopping can wait.

Hoping you've managed to have a shower and that it's helped you to feel a bit better.

Sending lots of love and hugs sweetheart ❤️.

I had a long hot shower @Tolly. It was really hard to talk myself into it. I did get out all wrinkly though. I’ve got a shower with two shower heads so I used the top one at the end as it’s soothing.

Im really really tired now. It’s taken everything out of me. I can’t barely keep my eyes open so I think I might go to bed for now. I can’t think or function. I am so empty, cup and all. Right now I don’t even have enough space for myself.

Hey @Cuddlebear @MissGremlin. I’m really sorry but I can’t respond right now. I’m past capacity. I’ve had my shower and washed and dried my hair and now I’m going to bed.

Im really sorry. I will reply to you both later. I just can’t do it right now.

@Captain24 I'm glad you had a shower sweet. Hope you can get some rest.

No pressure to reply, just know that I'm here with you sweetheart ❤️.

I hope you are able to get some gentle rest @Captain24 - we'll be thinking of you.

The community is always here for you and I'm glad you're also recognising your limits💙

I had a nap and I’ve woken up feeling the same. I’ve packed the vacuum cleaner away and I’m not cleaning the floors. I’ve decided to have cheese sandwiches for work, I’ve only got grated cheese but that will have to do. I’m going to wear jumpers to work so I don’t have to iron my shirts just my jeans.

I don’t really care if it’s not good enough. I don’t really care for life right now. I’m safe but just don’t want to exist. I have nothing to give to anyone or anything right now. I’m a horrible person. I’m dreading that I have to feed my dogs later.
