Twisted -self care

Twisted -self care

Every morning I drive east into the sun.
At traffic lights I put sunscreen on the backs of my hands.
This morning I realised that this is self care,
Very rare for me.
I need to do more of this....

Re: Twisted -self care

I hear you @Catcakes. I so often feel so much the same so when someone does or says something nice to me, it will often make me cry because I'm not used to much of people being nice to me.

I've turned myself inside out and round about for others, probably in much the same way you do, as do many of us here, and done it for years, until I stopped. When I stopped, I found myself alone. No one was interested in me when I wasn't happy, bubbly, smiley, be everyone's shoulder to cry on and support person. They melted away the minute I needed help and support.

I like you @Catcakes. I miss you when you're not here and often find myself wondering how things are for you. Not being able to get the support you'd like at the time you'd like to builds up an internal worry sort of thing, and seems perhaps more than it is, like when the systems (like chat and phone) are not available when you try to get through. I've not tried, so can't say how well it might work for me.

Some flower-hearts for you Catcakes.

I have no energy left
I can’t do it today
If you have to work so hard
I can’t do it
I don’t need it that badly

Re: Twisted -self care

@Catcakes what do you have left to do tonight ? Are you staying with your Mum at the hospital ?

I only really have to sort dinner, but even then D3 wants to cook for herself ..... mr does his own thing, and S2 usually too ..... so I have bought something to microwave for D2 and me, and that will do tonight.

@Catcakes helpline chat there now. Catcakes can call/chat HC. PR no allowed. PR too broken. PR not matter. Catcakes matter.
