Nothing

@Former-Memberand @CheerBear @Former-Member

AJ - Hello there 🙂 hope you and the little one are doing good today and you are staying around ok. I have had a pretty good day, been fairly productive in my study stuff, sometimes though I wonder why I'm putting myself through it, it's so stressfull in some ways.

Cheery - hope you have found that rainbow and are sliding down it ... and all your cleaning and organising for school start has paid off and relieved a bit of tension.

lil-cat - sometimes others don't understand what's going on with us, because they just can't, and sadly we just have to accept that.

Then stop being a "maid"... @Former-Member humnan nature is .. if you keep doing it they will expect it, so if you don't want to do it, stop doing it, or do less of it. Draw a line in the sand. We all have to set our borders, we set how we want to be treated and others need to respect that.

Unless you have some kind of "deal" that you are supposed to do that stuff to pay rent or something, then that's a different situation.

what made it "go down hill" as you saw it @Former-Member ?

Hiya @Spookytookims, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @CheerBear

just dropping in to say hi and return @Former-Member hi

sorry things have been hurtful and frustrating lately @Former-Member with the family stuff

good Job on the study and mammoth effort with Easter cheer @Spookytookims. I think it made a difference to lots of us that you did that.

Keep going @Former-Member. One day at a time.

Also good job on getting through Easter @Former-Member. I'm glad your little man was well for it.

A big weekend done and dusted @CheerBear. Your getting their one step at a time even if you don't feel it yet. Sending loads of best wishes for the week ahead. I know it's a tough one

hugs to all 💜🤗

@Former-Member wooo hoo I do love seeing your purple flower appearing! I know you have your struggles so I don't do shout outs to you because I do feel you will appear when you are ready and feeling up to it. But do know I think about you a lot and really do look for that lovely flower.

Thank you re the easter cheer too. 🙂 appreciate it.

hiya @Former-Member hugs back to you too

@Spookytookims the fact that ive realised ive become nothing to my family, and that my family do better when im not there despite me helping them to the point where ive broken down for them

@Former-Member I don't think that's true. They probably just are as lost as you are. They probably just don/'t know how to help you.

I've been on both sides. I've been on the Healthy MI side for over 30 years of my life, and before it happened to me it was very hard for me to understand how it might feel to be like that. Now I understand it, but only because I have lived it. So they are just probably very confused too.

Thanks @Spookytookims. That's a really kind thing to say. Yeah I keep getting myself in a hole on the forum so am keeping it a bit small and random. Believe it or not I've been getting really anxious responding and posting. So I'm trying to do it gradually again....a bit here and a bit there. Boom and bust isn't working quite so well for me.

What are you studying. I'm not sure I caught that?
