Re: not coping

Hi @Bow - my days have been ok, doing a project in the van, remodelling my bed. To take my mind off bad aniversary. Its over my head but I always do like a challenge. RT knee playing up though, after a fall yesterday, ouchy, gotta be careful how I walk on it or it grabs me 😣 Beautiful weather though, quite enjoyed clucking around outside.
@outlander, are you stressed from the disruption of the carpet being cleaned? I would be,not is there something else going on that bad? You still caring for your pop? Be kind to yourself. 💙

Re: not coping

im sorry youve had a fall @Former-Member
are you ok besides your knee? please look after yourself

i cant really talk about whats happening here atm just because its not really something that happens everyday but basically im very paranoid itll happen again and hoping to cops will actually do something about what happened. the carpets needed cleaning because of what happened, couldnt be in here overnight till it was cleaned incase of infectious diseases.
yeah im still pops carer, next year itll be 5 years slowly watching his dementia get worse.

Re: not coping

Its my los girls 23rd Birthday this week, still throws me, wish she was here. Miss her, but mood has been much worse, ha, just realised - no SI for couple days 👀 strange.
Are you 'paranoid' or are these fears founded? Don't be gaslghted. Keep those stress levels down. I have to remind myself to manage stress re anxiety and not being in tune with it. Have to do meditation, deep breathing whenever vi think of it. Briefly, a few times a day, seems to help. Don't withdraw too much 💙
