Let`s Talk -- how was you day today !!

That's not being sensitive (I don't think) @Bananatron

Those type of comments can leave me feeling like "Nobody is listening" & that "I'm not being heard".

So, yes it can definitely bring resentment.

Like when I almost died (twice) in hospital (the doctors told me). The emergency surgeries went disastrously wrong...

Then several people said later "It could have been worse" & "You're lucky" etc.

I felt insulted & patronised.

Some people have absolutely no idea...

Hi @Bananatron

I too have anxiety and depression. And until a person has actually experienced it themselves, they will not understand. It is more than just being 'sad' or feeling 'stressed'. No, you're not being sensitive at all. You have a right to feel that way. *hugs*

How was your day today ???

Hello @Carlachris, @Boo13, @Lesley, @PeppiPatty

Hi @Shaz51

Hi everyone.

My client had major incontinence today (without warning) - which was very stressful trying to clean up a widespread mess, without any bathroom facilities to do it with.

I then had to phone his group home, & take him home early - because he needed a total bodywash (shower or bath).

On the plus side, I bought a new Cockatiel (Weero) to replace my favourite, that died last night.

I phoned up & booked my Sleep Dr appointment - which is not available until late August (a 3 & 1/2 month wait).

I then phoned & booked the mechanic to service my car, ahead of time (this time)...

Hello @Bella1978, @Adge, @Bananatron, @merri, @shane01

how is everyone tonight xoxo

Hi @Shaz51

I'm certainly glad to be home, with the working week over & done with (for now).

I was unexpectedly asked to care for 2 high needs clients (just me) - doing swimming (one in a wheelchair), which is difficult to manage even with just 1 client.

When each of them is supposed to have their own carer.

Anything could have gone massively wrong, because I cannot split myself in two, & be in two places at once. Very stressful, especially given no notice.

So I'm gona eat something yummy now to de-stress...
