All good @tisme .

When responding, if you want to tag someone in so they receive a notification, you can type "@" in front of the username. A drop down menu will appear.

That way, they will get a notification of your response.

Re: Caring for the carer

Thank you @Shaz51 and @tyme

Feeling low and that social stuff is just too much for me. Having people over tomorrow, but one of the ladies is beginning to fill me with anxiety and agitation. I will not call it off, as I do not do that kind of thing, and I am modelling 'being social' for my son. The si has been high today. I seem to attract aggressive personalities when I try and get involved.

Re: Caring for the carer

Hi @Appleblossom,

Sorry for the delayed response, I haven't been on the Forums for a couple of day. I'm sorry to read you were feeling pretty low yesterday. How are you today? I hope you are feeling a little better my friend.

FloatingFeather ❤️

Re: Caring for the carer

@FloatingFeather Thanks for your reply. I understand shifts etc... and never have been accustomed to instant replies. Self doubt is often high no matter what I achieve. I am busy cleaning and been out in the garden already. Feel like I am at the end of the line, if things do not work out and I feel pushed out again. Existential fragility has been with me all along.

Re: Caring for the carer

I'm sorry you are feeling this way @Appleblossom - it sounds like a lot to sit with. I have sent you an email just to check in with you privately so if you could respond when you can that would be much appreciated.

Sitting with and sending you hugs,

FloatingFeather
