Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@BunniekinsI do it the same way you do it. You have your own MI yet you still have to look after your son who has his own issues. You need to give yourself some credit too greenpea. We do it b/c we love our children and often put them first before our needs. I am sure there are lots of people on here that do that.
Thanks greenpea but I think there are alot of lovely people on here you included. I am hoping these meds work. The side effects have calmed down so that is one good thing.![]()

Hi @Bunniekins @Former-Member ....
I didn’t end up going for a massage @Former-Member. There was a bushfire in the hills that cloaked the city in black smoke, so I didn’t want to go outside in it ..... and even now it’s 30deg at 5:30pm ..... so I had an afternoon sleep instead.
The aircon was off in the room I was in, and mr.f&h turned it on for me ..... he is being attentive in small ways that he just hasn’t been since he fell ill .... not sure whether he is just shocked that I have pulled away, or whether (maybe with that shock) insight is beginning to emerge .....
Still don’t want to put too much weight on it.
I am thinking of going for a walk in another hour or so. I will see how I feel by then.

@Faith-and-Hopewell since you were up so early this morning, an afternoon nap sounds well needed. Still so hot there.
That was nice of him, whatever his intention was.
Hopefully the smoke has cleared for your walk and you can see that beautiful sunset you have over there.
Hi @Sans911 how are you going?

Yes @Former-Member, it was nice of him, whatever the catalyst.
Will stick my head out the front door shortly and see whether there is still smoke in the air. Still 30deg ....

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
Good morning. The air is heavy with the smell of fire. My Aunty lives up that way, so I'm worried for them. Not a great night sleep, seem to be waking up much earlier than before. Doesn't help when the cat is alternating between licking and biting you! I'm struggling big time, but I'm safe. Just feeling misunderstood and unheard does not help me. Feeling rudderless again. I've been told that I gave to practice my skills, but I feel apathetic and demotivated so lack direction to start. Where do I go from here. Why does it have to be difficult?
