Re: not coping

More people are struggling mentally hon from these damm lockdowns.

It just gets me more and more down. It has been months since I saw her last and it is just making everything go on a downward spiral.

Better go cook tea @outlander Won't cook itself!

Re: not coping

I know it's probably a difficult decision and not one that you can make on your own but is it reaching the point of needing a nursing home for pop @outlander ?

Re: not coping

hes not ready for a nursing home tbh @Bow and cant really afford that plus because they are still classing him as sound of mind and able to make decisions for himself then he can say no. and he will
