Hi @Former-Member@Former-Member You are early birds, or have you been up all night. I know the defeated feelings @Former-Member, always something waiting to knock us down. I'm watering my garden atm getting ready for another hot day in tassie.

But typing on phone with sleepy eyes is hard 😮
Lol
Are you and @Maggie always up early?
Raining here again.
Have you always lived with your mum @Former-Member
That's so difficult for you. I read that she doesn't consider your feelings.
Is it because you need a job to move out?
I know she needs to be cared for, but there's HEAPS of agencies to help out.
I've been a carer for a family member and basically my family.
I had no life of my iwn at one stage, for years.
It was extremely difficult to move on, because I felt responsible to care for everyone and try and fix their problems.
It caused me to have a breakdown.
It was ine if the hardest tjings I've done, to stop caring for my sibling, it broke my heart. But they are in a house getting cared for and they are happy.
I've moved on from my whole family and can't have anything to do with them, because they can't accept the new me that can say, "NO"
I have to say, no, because I can't cope with any of it anymore.
It's hard because my mother is very okd now and needs help. But I can't do it. Breaks my heart , but I just can't. I've always been there, but at my age I need to think of myself and my D. I barely have anything to give anymore. I feel broken.
My mother is getting help, but I still need to get over the gulit I feel.
Just thought I'd share this, letting yoi know i think I understand Li1
I hope there's an answer for you to have a life that you deserve.
Is there a way that you can?
Sorry uf I'm being to nosey here. I care about you and what you're going through.

Re: Taking the plunge
I'm so grateful for agency that can give 24/7 care and I'm more grateful that they're happy there.
I'm going to attempt to sleep again. 😊😴

Re: Taking the plunge
Hi @Former-Member I have a CT scan later today. Something wrong with a sinus in my forehead, once that's done on to specialist regarding broken nose. I love early mornings @Former-Member i don't sleep so might as well get up. Everything is so peaceful. What are you up to today??? More shopping or some relaxing. Must be difficult keeping up with a teenage D. 31 here tomorrow, not looking forward to that, but it cools down after that.
@Former-Member I think your scanning must be the same as my taking a pic, it's beyond my comprehension. I hope you manage to get some pics through, I'd love to see what you've done with your pencils. I hope you are doing ok. One more day and psych app. Will you be able to see her for a number of appointments?
@Former-Member how's the volunteering going????
@TAB@utopia@Bunniekins@Former-Member anyone else around a big hi, hope your day has something to smile about.

Re: Taking the plunge
I hope you're ok. 💜
I had to return some things at the shop, apart from that, I'm feeling quite useless.
D is still exhausted.
It's been a huge year FULL of stressful situations.
We both need a rest.
D is not sure how too.
School has pressured her so much, now she needs to learn how to unwind. She's finding all sorts of things to stress about.
Cuppa for you when you get back ☕🍰
Did someone take you?
