hello @Shaz51

Just having a thought when reading about Mr Shaz being unable to say no to a job then later feeling stressed.

Do you keep an appointment diary?

How does Mr Shaz relate to keeping an appointment book, or even calendar with a large space to write on each day?

If he could see the appointments for the day clearly, even if you write next to each appointment approximately how long it will take.

Would he be able to recognise on any given day there is enough work for that day?

If it is purely related to work, he might get into the habit of looking at it each morning and be able to tell himself yes this is my job, I have 2 jobs today.

only a suggestion, you might already have something in place that works.

you look after him so well. xxx

I feel sad to read that Mr Darcy is struggling and something is upsetting him so much every day.

This would be so hard to witness. Knowing that you dont have an immediate answer for him, a solution makes it so much more difficult.

There should be a database set up with volunteering opportunities at each council.

self-worth is so important for every single human being.

Keep searching, asking, someone has to listen and hear eventually

makes me feel so cross

take carexxx

Hello @Former-Member

I sense that you will know the path to follow. You know Mr Darcy so well.

Don't let anyone stop you in your search for more understanding and support for you both.

Hi @Shaz51, nice to be visiting from the 'other side' of the forums. Thanks for getting me into this thread. Hi to others here too. 🙂

@Shaz51, interesting how we can worry so much and long over something that then is later resolved in a matter of minutes. Hope you will be able to rest a little easier now.

Edit: I just noticed that @Shaz51 made a callout to @PeppiPatty. PP, I think about you heaps. Sending lots of love.
