Re: not coping

its tricky when we are settling back in but are visted so often even though they are well intended @Eve7 i hope you might get some time to chill out too.

yeah i dont know, apparently they arent giving her much option except the afternoon-night or the overnight shifts but she thankfully doesnt take them to often because i said im not doing them.

Re: not coping

most of mine and pops pays all go on bills and still some debt collectors are hassling us-well me because thats the contact number i have. they are like you should be able to afford $200 a month for a CANCELLED credit card so when i rattle off all our bills they are like oh ok how about we keep the current arrangement then as at least your paying it off. well duh lol its not like im lying if i could afford to pay more and get a bill paid off faster then i would definently do so!

oh yes and private health insurance i forgot about that one!

i hope it might only be for 2 weeks too. i know being away from home and family is stressful for you as well but im glad H can work from home and the kids are at school still? or are you guys all in lock down now?

Re: not coping

Good on you @outlander for saying you wouldn't do over nights hun.

We are not in lockdown yet hun, but I am expecting all of VIC to go into lockdown.

I have one at school and one doing remote learning so still have to do the school run in the morning and afternoon.

I hate being away from the family but know I need more ect sessions, especially after the last few days. The hospital has a no visitor policy b/c of covid so that makes it even harder as I won't be able to see H and the kids. Will have to set up video call with them.

Re: not coping

@Snowie im honestly surprised the whole of vic isnt in lockdown. theres so many active cases if it keeps going the whole population in the state will end up with it 😞 all cause silly people dont listen to instructions!

its good that you accept you need some more help and ect sessions. i hope a few more will be helpful.
oh the no visitors really suck. thank god for technology hey so you can do video calls and phone calls/msgs to them anytime you need/want to
Do your kids have phones so you can send them msgs? S might be a little young yet?
