Hey @outlander

I hope you can find a little time in your day for yourself. I hear how hard it is for you right now. I really wish I could help with some of your burden.

Re: not coping

sometimes reality really sets in and it can be so hard. the mountain climb seems to get so much more steeper and the mountain that looked big before now looks more like mount everest

Re: not coping

my fatigue levels are getting worse. i dont know whats happening. im struggling to function. im sleeping early, getting up late, napping in the day time and im barely making it past lunch time. its becoming problematic at work. i still have 4 hours and im struggling to stay awake. i have no brain power or anything and struggling to even sit up. i think i might ask night shift to come in early

Re: not coping

That doesn't sound too good. Have you had a blood test or anything to check it out? @outlander

Re: not coping

yes and that is all fine @tyme the cardiologist thinks he knows what it is. itll be a lifelong heart condition though but if i do have it i can possibly actually get NDIS so that i can get some help without paying such a fortune out of pocket.

not sure if the fatigue is condition related or whether im just so burnt out theres no energy left at all. im ok in the mornings but after midday its like all the battery power gets drainined even for no reason even when im sitting at home watching tv

Re: not coping

Please take care @outlander . I'm worried about because I know how much you are doing.

Can you practice some self-care e.g. mindfulness while you are working? Even deep breathing?

Re: not coping

im watching netflix @tyme hoping the time will go faster. im working the job i like tomorrow but i dont want to let them down because im so tired

its looking like there might be space early next yr for permanent care as well. im not sure if its a good or bad thing. overall its good but its still daunting and just adds to the stress knowing what i still have to do
