My special place

So lovely to hear from you this morning @Snowie and to read that you are moving forward and doing some better.

sorry to read about your hubby’s uncle though and your mums tests results. Always a stressful time having to wait. But glad that daughters results seem to be ok.

take it easy 💕

Good to see you @Snowie and thanks for the update. Will you find the funeral hard?

And how is your mum when she's in pain - I hope she doesn't take it out on you?

I hope there's enough snow for you to go there soon... 💙

Thanks @NatureLover

The funeral will go ok, well as good as it can get for a funeral. I am not worried about that. They are having a gathering afterwards and am more anxious about being around everyone and having small talk with them all. I'm not good in any kind of social setting. It freaks me out.

My mum has been ok. Took her to the doctors today just to get her checked out as she was freaking out. Everything was fine with her wound, just as I said it was 🤦‍♀️ She better not say anything to me, my brother would never dream of helping her out. So it is all up to me.

She has early on set dementia which isn't helping either.

Meant to get more snow which is good. Only thing I am looking forward too at the moment.

Both psych and pdoc away at the moment. Feel very alone in this struggle, without any professional support around.

@outlander @Bow @Eve7 @Captain24 no need to respond, just an update on everything.

Leaving some squishy hugs for you @Snowie 💕

Went to the footy yesterday. Our team finally won a game. Was nice to get out and do something with the kids. Took mum too which she loved. Hasn't been to the footy in years.

Mum got the results of her biopsy. Everything was clear. They said it was probably the case but I guess getting the results back eases her mind now. Good for me too. Means I don't have to drive her into the city on Wednesday now.

The reality of the psych and pdoc both being away has hit like a ton of bricks. I have no supports left. Even though I knew it was happening it still doesn't make it any easier. Try hard to keep it together.

I'm a bit angry at my psych. They said they would set me up with seeing someone else whilst they are away but nothing has come of it. I have rang but no luck. Seven weeks is a long time.

I hope everyone has a nice day. Sun is shining here but cold.

Hi @Snowie

A good footy game victory always feels good 😋

Glad to hear about your mum and the ease it is bringing for the family!

Ah the waiting of game receiving support, been there, done that, and still there haha 😆😒!

I want to acknowledge your ability to reach out for support through this forum whilst you wait on receiving support professionally. It is definitely hard when our support system is not available and we wait in limbo, I want to acknowledge the emotions that come with this.

This forum and community is here to support you.

You are also more than welcome to reach out to our Support Centre on 1800 18 72 63, Mon - Fri,

10 am – 10 pm AEST. You also have the option to reach out via our texted base chat service. All of our services are free if this suits you 🙂

Sending lots of light,

Thanks @fluffylight

I know our supports deserve time of just like anyone else, but it is hard. I normally have at least one of them around, but both away is difficult.

I have been reaching out to other supports so that has helped a little. I also know I have these forums to help me through this period.

Btw, I love your photo!

Ah, that's a lovely way to put it @Snowie.

You've offered me some food for thought there. "I know our supports deserve time of just like anyone else". Thank you for sharing this 🙂

You are right, it can still be hard to navigate the waiting game and both being away. Hoping things will ease for you 💟

Thank you!! - It was a long a scroll through google to get to that picture 🙊

I’m glad you had a good day out @Snowie. You deserve it.

It’s good your mums results came back clear. I had to have 2 different levels of biopsies before they could clear mine.

We will always be here especially during the next 7 weeks. We will fully support you. I hear it’s going to be a long hard time for you. Just know we are with you throughout it.
