Am Not Coping

From what you have written for a while now @Appleblossom you do seem to be finding your place in the choirs you are participating in and that is a great thing. I do love hearing your positive interactions with others and those little moments when you connect with other people as well.

I think the thing with any kind of therapy is you both have to be ready for it and have to connect on a certain level with the therapist ...at least feel comfortable in their presence. There is certainly a lot that we pick up over the years though that we can often work through ourselves but a really good therapist who works with us and our needs is worth their weight in gold.

I still have visibly awkward behaviours, clenching and picking at myself, but I just keep going I guess.

@Zoe7

You do keep going @Appleblossom and that in itself is something to celebrate and be proud of

Hi @Shaz51 I responded on your other thread.

Evening all ... @Zoe7 @Appleblossom @MDT @Snowie @Faith-and-Hope

@Shaz51 There is a point where you need to do what will help you as well. Your Mum also needs the best care possible but you cannot keep looking after her the way you have been and look after yourself as well. Your Mum has been in and out of hospital with falls lately and that is no quality of life for her. It is a big decision you have to make but you also need to seriously consider the toll this is all taking on you - you can't be there for your Mum if your health is suffering as well.

Evening @Former-Member Quiet night here for me - probably won't be long before I am heading to bed. How is your headache - has it subsided throughout the day?

Hi @Zoe7@Shaz51 it's good you want to help your Mum but you need to look after yourself too

Oh @Zoe7 its been an awful day. I still have the headache, plus an earache.

And my brother rang this evening and delivered the dreadful news that his baby daughter has died at 12 weeks gestation. He and his wife were in the neonatal unit in their nearest city today for tests. Initial ultrasound detected no heartbeat.

They are both devastated. Only just over the initial shock of being pregnant. Then the exciting news of a new bub. Now ... nothing.

I'm at a complete loss as to what to say or what to do. What can you say?
