You aren't @outlander

Despite what your MH or people arou d you say.

I can't really say much atm as my day has been trash. But just remember how much you mean and how much you help people here mate

Hey @Sans911 and btw Sans also knows that to be true.

Re: rough time

No, you can't help it if your mi gets in the way of your life. And it will. It will cause misunderstanding, it will irritate people, it might make you seem 'lazy' about some things, it might make people misjudge you. You can only do what you can do. Your aren't responsible for other people's responses or actions. That's their responsibility. You can't know what people are thinking. And while it hurts the way they treat you, it's not really about you. It's about them. Their insecurities, their inability to understand, and their judgements. Not yours to own at all.

You aren't a bad person @outlander. Not at all. You're beautiful, kind, compassionate, empathetic. You care a great deal about others and go out of your way to welcome new members here and make them feel included.

You offer me a shoulder to lean on constantly and often say just the right thing. Believe in you sweetheart, because you are worthy and an amazing person.

Once more into the fray

Aw oh Now you started tears @Sans911

Its like my mh gives me a taste of a good day then goes "just kidding' and makes sure its known.

Things with pop have gotten harder too like now sometimes he misses the toilet when he pees and leaving the taps running. Thats what i woke up to besides other things.

Today he said to me 'do you want me to go away and get out of your way because you obviously dont care'

This was after shopping with him and hearing about his complaints etc and all the way home and by the time i got home inwas to drained to speak so i out the groceries away quietly and he said are these going in the freezer and i said im not sure i havent gotten to that bag yet, have a look and see whats in there..' and that was his response. I was tired and drained.

It is hard to balance treating him as an individual but him needing as much care as a child would basically.

I feel so selfish for it but sometimes i wish i had that chance for a break from this for a few days but it doesnt help. Distance has made it worse before. I need to clone me. So i can be in several places at once.

I havent felt that well physically for a few days either. Not sure if its stress or something else. Told the dr that but she doesnt care either. Im sick of me too so i dont blame her.

There are other things happening but i dont think i want to go into those tonight.

I wish i could be helpful offline too. To have that more normal life. If only here wasnt only virtual.

Re: rough time

That's really hard to hear from your pop. He's having a hard time too loosing his independence and functioning. That's no excuse for his behaviour, it just explains it. I truly can understand how physically and emotionally exhausting it must be caring for him. It's not selfish to want a break. What you are doing is hard work on many levels.

I'm sorry the Dr is more understanding and helpful. And yes, I get frustrated by the limitations of these forums sometimes. I'd love to be able to help you in practical ways. And you are helping off-line. It's just not acknowledged or appreciated in the right way lil Sis.

Hugs sweetheart @outlander 💜 💜 💜

Thanks sis 💜 @Sans911

How are you tonight?

In response to: Re: rough time

Re: rough time

Yeah, I'm OK @outlander. I've had a busy afternoon today. Poor cats didn't get fed until after 7pm! They're both asleep atm at the end of the bed. I don't think I'm that far off either.
