Re: not coping

That sounds hard, I can imagine why you feel like there is a shadow @outlander

I am a carer myself its a huge task to keep putting others before yourself

Is there some relief

Re: not coping

It sounds like this is bringing you down some bit, having no relief from it all is something I know about.
It is good that you have this space to talk about whats going, you are not alone 💛 @outlander

Re: not coping

Life likes you 💛 Life might feel like it has no end in sight but it always has light that is sometimes dimmed by the darkness, you've seen the light before @outlander

I'm holding lots of space for you. You have a going on which makes it hard and feels like you're stuck in hell

Re: not coping

I am curious and holding space for whats coming up 💛 @outlander

Glad the light reaches you in glimpses even if it is not all the time, it can serve as a reminder that we can keep going
