Re: not coping

That's possible @outlander. Have you had much to eat in the last 24hours?

Re: not coping

You are on constant alert and have consistently high stress levels @outlander. After a while, the chemicals responsible for stress can impact on your health. You know that though.

It's a bit hard to say what's going on with you. It might be short lived which would be alright but if it lasts longer you might need to be seen.

I know your pop is fraying your nerves lil Sis. Hang in there. It's a difficult situation that you're I'm. While I don't have any answers or advice, I'm here for you as are others.

Re: not coping

It sounds really tough @outlander. I'm wondering if there's anything you can think of it might be nice to do right now? Something creative like drawing or a puzzle maybe? Sitting with you in the meantime and hoping things improve for you soon 🌷

Re: not coping

Thanks @Sans911
Just had a shower but spent most of the time sitting and regaining energy to get dressed
And trying to apply some lotion to a rash as well.

Pop is going away for a few days with his brother and few friends next week-if they can anyway and if its not all flooded by then. Trying to hold out till then but then its many aniversaries to try and contend with.

Hopefully everything settles, ive showered and just going to lay and watch a movie i think

How are you going? How was your time with yiur mum?

@Snowie @Emelia8 how are you both too?

Re: not coping

Totally fair @outlander. That's great you're able to recognise what may and may not work for you in the moment too. 😊
