not coping

Thanks @Snowie 💕
The days are hard even when theres nothing making them hard atm. Had meltdown earlier in the shower. No reason just kind of lost it. Woulsve been good if it actully helped 🤦‍♀️:face_with_rolling_eyes:

Hi @outlander , I've read back the last 5 pages (and yes, I know I shouldn't be off my thread!)...wow, some big decisions for you I guess. I'm so sorry to read about your burnout, I can really empathise, it's horrible to have and it affects everything. 😞

I really hope you can find some solutions such as @Zoe7 has suggested... I like to imagine you in your own little unit, focussed on your own life rather than others', being able to work on your own health issues rather than others', able to rest and recover from the burnout, maybe on the disability pension yourself if possible, I don't know, as you really need support.

Sending 💙 and heaps of good wishes to you...

Please be gentle with yourself today @outlander 🤗

@outlander Just checking in with you today Hon. I can see others have had similar thoughts and there is certainly a lot for you to think through and consider. Hope there is a little more light in your day today

@outlander

I echo the others thoughts.

I would encourage you to take the next step from using online therapy back to face to face. When you talk to a psychologist it's about what is happening in the here and now and not always focused on the past. At least for me my psychologist focuses on what is happening for me now and strategies that we can work on in the moment.

I can relate to how stressful putting a loved one in a nursing home can be. It's heart breaking. However when you can no longer cope you sometimes need the outside help if family aren't able to provide. It sounds cruel but if family can't help as they are just exhausted as you then you need to look at other options. I found this site for respite care: https://www.estiahealth.com.au/warmwelcome?keyword=%2Bnursing%20%2Bhomes&device=m&matchtype=b&creative=479567555422&placement=&gclid=CjwKCAiAu8SABhAxEiwAsodSZB_mr0VCmDPsRCeuc8dOmsHjudPqacQbOI8uukicGrPFo1O6CxhMfhoCkX8QAvD_BwE

perhaps you could see if there is any respite care from loved ones in your area.

Look at the dsp and how to get a place for yourself for your independence.

Morning my sis @outlander

Just coming past to check in on you hun.

Hoping today goes well for you

💜💜

Sorry to hear @outlander

Is there something we can help you out with?

Sitting with you hun 💜💜

@outlander

Have you tried to break it down bit by bit so it won't overwhelm you?

Rather ask for help for everything which can be daunting look at and prioritise what needs to be looked at first in relation to yourself.

I can relate to how debilitating panic attacks can be. I look at the most important thing that needs to be looked at and what strategies to put in place.

hugs to you 🤗
