One Day at a time here

Sounds a bit overwhelming @Shaz51 . Hope the drive and Maccas were nice, a nice thought but maybe tiring.

Maybe keep a box or jar to put ideas in. A place to park them until you're ready to think about them.

Research? I imagine that's a big ask when you have so much going on. Part of my job used to be helping people with that.

There's a difference between trying to find out anything/everything because it's all new to you and you think it's good to know

And trying to find answers to particular questions.

And what people might say on social media is often so different to what a medical clinic might say.

May I make a couple of suggestions?

Do you have a local library? Librarians can be a big help. They're across all sorts of information. Some of them are lovely people and very happy to help, or just to chat to about how and where to look.

The other suggestion is making a thread for forumites to help you look. Some forumites are really good at it. @Appleblossom and @Till23 come to mind but lots of other people too. I'd be happy to help too.

You don't need to feel alone in this.

A virtual big cuppa coffee ☕️ sounds wonderful. @tyme 😍

Hi @Shaz51 I'm sorry that you are feeling overwhelmed.. I want to say I understand that feeling,, but I know everyone's experience is different,, but I think I have some insight into it,, and it's definitely not a nice feeling..

I hope you are able to have some down time and some "you" time, just by yourself, without having to account for other people..

I know that can be difficult as a carer, it was for me with my Dad at times, especially towards the end.

@Shaz51 while I was typing you got lots of support... hope you sleep well. No need to feel rushed.

Great ideas @Dimity , thank you @Till23 , @tyme for being here with me xx

Going to bed , see 👀 you tomorrow 😍

Rest up and take it easy @Shaz51

I hope you have a restful sleep @Shaz51

Don't dream of coffee, that might keep you awake 🤣

Ha ha too late @Till23 , @tyme , @Dimity

My brain is yelling Coffee ☕️ 🤣😂 at me

Thinking of you @Shaz51, are you going to have a coffee 😋

No late coffee last night @Chasingsunsets , went straight to bed

7am now and having my first coffee ☕️ for the day
