hi all
I have been typing my little hert out to you all just to try and make things better. I know that it is just a simple battle with my mind. Today just took too much.
I am just frozen, stuck and drowning again in my well.
I really just want it all to be over - and yet I am being cuddled by a very special cat and being loved.
I will treasure him always as he is a rescue.
Bast

@KurraThank you for the encourgement. I do the best I can. Its draining, caring is one of those parts of life which until you do it for any length of time, you never really appreciate how deep you have to dig each day and the build of stress affects you. I do have carer burnout, at least i know and Do what I can to let the build up release. onwards and upwards 🙂 Take care
