Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh, is there a way to cut back on work at all that isn't financially straining @outlander

Re: Tw Not Coping

no @Birdofparadise8
its the problem with being a carer and your life revolving around everyone else and having to put everyone elses needs above your own. the person i care for comes to work with me, lives with me and i care for him 24/7 plus work shift work on top of that and while hes at respite programs through the week i need to try and find other work during those hours because i cant keep bringing him to my current work.
im in the middle of transitioning him to nursing homes and stuff like that so its alot going on at the moment

Re: Tw Not Coping

Once he is in the nursing home, will you get some rest then @outlander

Maybe once he is you could take a week or two off work go away and have a break?

Re: Tw Not Coping

it may be a while before hes in a home @Birdofparadise8 it wont be until at least the end of the year possibly longer.
im going away at the end of the year but its for medical treatment but itll give me a week of treatment and a week of recovery time so that will give me a slight break

@tyme no not really. i dont enjoy it anymore but its another stupid situation where if i dont do it then no one else will. theyre not mine except one but i seem to keep getting slugged with all the expense to own the damn creatures
