I'm in big do do and thinking stupid exit plans. No worries. These are thoughts only. I'm not planning any action on these thoughts. I'm terrified that I'm going to end up homeless again. Any support would be very welcime @Faith-and-Hope@Teej@Appleblossom@Shaz51@Mazarita@Former-Member@Former-Member and anyone else who cares about me.
Oh @Former-Member😢. I’m so sorry that has happened. It sucks when something that should be simple turns into something complicated and stressful. Hoping when you have had some space you can email them and they’ll sort it quickly. It’s a long time with kids to be without a machine, especially when they are on holidays.
Sending hugs 🤗💜

Re: Trouble !
Break it down into baby steps @Former-Member ....... they owe you a machine, and it’s one of the biggest workhorses in a family household.
Email the company again, and write out the message the freight person left, telling them there was a miscommunication at their end as you have previously emailed them your new address, and can re-send that email to confirm if they need you to.
You can do this @Former-Member ...... it’s polite but factual, and lands the ball back in their court, not yours.

Re: Trouble !
I feel like that at times @Former-Member ...... I have so much out of place in my home at the moment that I would have grazed at putting away progressively previously, but since we came under the therapy team, mr.f&h became less controlling and aggressive by degrees, I became further invalidated and it was clear this is not our solution, I have become somewhat frozen ...... doing things on a need-to basis only and ignoring the rest.
I think it qualifies as situational depression, and for you too ...... just feels leaden and all too hard. I hear you.
My commitment to myself is meeting the baseline of health and hygiene. Beyond that, everything else can wait until I feel better ...... and if anyone else wants to raise their hand to putting things back into place, they have my belssing to do so. Not seeing anyone else fall over themselves to do it either ......

Re: Trouble !
I'm glad that you are looking after you in that way @Faith-and-Hope and also hope that there are some other adult hands in your household helping to keep things running as it shouldn't be all on you anyway... i hope we can both unfreeze sometime.

Re: Trouble !
Actually, that isn’t entirely true ...... D3 did a bit of a blitz of some areas last week, which I am really thankful for. She cleaned up her room a month or so ago, and has been maintaining it fairly well.
D2 helps (and hinders) with the housework, so we are stumbling along at an okay level, but yeah ...... think we are all suffering situational depression ...... surprise, surprise !!
I hope we can both unfreeze at some time too @Former-Member ...... I like to think it is part of our recovery ...... an emotional time-out of sorts. I have referred to it as “resting” from my commitments.
