@Shaz51 Happy Friday Shaz and others.
It's been a hard hard week for me. Lots of tears. So many tears. Tearing up just thinking about it. I think I am going to let the tap flow another week at least.
Question for all...do you find tears actually help? At what point are they supposed to stop? I know the hormones and the stress and the disappointments continue to roll but I think I'm in a deep hole. The toolbox is activated, exercise, movies, sunlight, food, talking, even cracked out the watercolours. Basically anything except study and my assignment.
Today I am 40/60 push on/quit uni.
Questioning how much longer I can put my life on hold. It's caught up with me how much time I've wasted doing study that I don't believe will help me. Here I am again feeling railroaded into a career I don't want.
It's certainly not going to give me the leg up getting a decent job again. I need skills. I need experience. I need connections.
Ok...coffee refill.
How's your life going?

@Shaz51 I am incredibly thankful for the support I received over the weeks here on the SANE forums. Today I took a day off, might be taking a small outing with my partner who's been discharged from hospital now. Just trying to take one day at a time and really bask in him being here.

Today is good; I am so blessed to have the flexibility to work from home. Just makes the responsibilities as a carer so much easier. The crisis seems to have passed, which is a relief.
Thanks for coffee and chat.

a little tip @Ramman to put a @ in front of members names so they can receive your message and reply back to you
yes I agree working from home does have its benefits
