Re: not coping

Hi @outlander,
I'm so sorry to hear of the difficulties you're experiencing at the moment. It's OK not to feel OK.
When I've been in similar situations the only way I can cope is by dealing with one thing at a time.
From the little bit I've read it seems your beloved horse may well be your priority for now.

Your great grandmother will be receiving the care she needs so at least you know everything is being done for her. I know that won't stop your worry and fear but do try to remind yourself.

It sounds as if your foot needs some extra care. Please do what you can even if it means using a walking stick or crutches.
In my thoughts and prayers my dear. 💕🎶💕

@outlander
I've been reasonably well. With all this COVID stuff I'm not quite as stable as I have been for 4 years now, however my periods of depression are short lived and not particularly severe. It's a difficult time for everyone.
Keeping myself busy seems to push depressive feelings away but sometimes I let myself have a pity party.
All in all, I'm going OK.
Have courage to get through this really rough patch. It mightn't feel like it now but you can do this. You are such a brave and strong person.
Much Luv n Hugzzz 💕🎶💕
