Re: rough time

thanks @Shaz51
i dont think i can talk about it much more here though as i dont want to upset others so ill talk about it offline.

@Snowie i dont know any more i feel like im just burdening everyone, there always seems to be something wrong with me. just this thing with all the problems but dont really mean anything to anyone. i dont know how to be a person and interact with others and just be normal anymore.
i dont see how im a good caregiver when i cant even get the support my pop needs. ive only got to speak to his gp as a starting point and i cant even get myself to make an appointment

Re: rough time

Hugs 🤗 @outlander You’re a good person and it’s such a shame that your family don’t appreciate you.

Re: rough time

I can’t imagine that you’ve upset anyone on here @outlander You are always kind and supportive with everyone and always include people.

Re: rough time

You know exaclty what I am going to say. You are not burdening anyone hun. If these things are important to you and effecting you then so be it.

There is not something wrong with you all the time. We all have times where we need that support. There are lots of times where you have given me that support hun.

You are a normal person, a normal person who is just going through a lot at the moment. It won't always be like this for you. What is normal anyway?

You will make that appt in time @outlander, just give yourself a break. You support your Pop is so many other ways. Think about all the good things you do for him instead of focusing on the one thing you haven't got around to yet.

Re: rough time

i i know others sometimes arent in the right headspace and those sorts of things but its doesnt feel like that, feels different- its the unsaid sort of things happening. im sorry i really shouldve just left it for offline or gave it a few days to see if things improved etc. it is probably me being to sensitive to things lately. ill chat to one of the mods when they are able to again, im sure itll work itself out......

Re: rough time

I think you’re doing more than enough for your family @outlander

Not many could take on a carers job and you’re always looking after your sisters.

Thats huge what you’re doing.

Re: rough time

between my teeth, foot hand, stomach issues and mental health issues there always feels like theres something wrong with me 😞 its no wonder people dont want to be around me. i dont evne know how to interact with people much anymore.

i really dont do much as a carer except make appointments and attend where neccessary and do all the housework and basic things. i wish i could make a real difference to someones life but how can i do that if i cant even take care of those around me now

its tiring trying to be ok all the time and even harder when im home alone and i allow all the emotions to come out.
i dont know who i am anymore. i dont know what im doing half the time. just this lost puppy on autopilot

Re: rough time

I think we all feel like that at times. I seem to think that there is something always wrong with me too. I think it is normal for us to have those thoughts. We are dealing with so much in our lives.

I know it is not the same as in real life hun, but you interact fine with people on here. And I know it is easier on here because people just "get it".

You said "i really dont do much as a carer except make appointments and attend where neccessary and do all the housework and basic things" Ahh @outlander that is what a carer does. You are doing a lot for him.

You know I will always be by your side sis, you will never lose me

In response to: Re: rough time

Re: rough time

Nothing to apologise for @outlander.

You wont lose me, unless they kick me off here. 😇😈 I may not be very useful at times, but I am here for you in whatever capacity I can give.

You are not a burden. You are no different to the rest of us here. All of us have our ups and downs. Sure .. there are times we probably all feel we are a drain on others. But when we can .. we all give something back. You currently have plenty of brownie points in store. Dont hesitate to seek the support you need right now.

Hi also to @Former-Member@Snowie@Shaz51. We couldnt all be wrong Outlander ... Now could we? 🌸🍀🍁
