Twisted -self care

Hello today @Catcakes thinking of you.

How I wish there was some way of being of help to you sweetie. You are such a help to others I hope you are finding/ making/ stealing time to look after yourself as best as you can.

How is your mum doing now? Are the hospital services able to help with her care and to support you in any way at all?

How are you doing with it all, it must be a terrific sense of imposition some times, it doesn't matter how much we love someone, or feel it's our duty to do certain things, the personal sense of imposition can become overwhelming.

You may not be able to talk about it here, but perhaps the hospital social worker/s or something might be able to help?

I know it's not all that 'acceptable' to acknowledge the sense of overwhelm and deprivation that carers can often feel, but it's a serious and realistic feeling many experience.

Maybe I'm overstepping boundaries, or perhaps I'm speaking out of turn of things not my business, but I see you hurting @Catcakes and see it's hard for you to say what's on your mind.

You're not a bad person, on the contrary, your actions show just how good and kind and considerate a person you are.

I'll be quiet now.

Nothing personal @Former-Member

But I’m not coping with forum

@Faith-and-Hope you need time out

@Catcakes I understand I think. You do what you need to do. I have limited my interactions and what threads I read to minimise how things affect me here. Look after you won't you.

Well I hope you’re okay.
