Seeking mutual support from carers

Seeking mutual support from carers

Reaching out to others who are in a caring role. I look after my mother with multiple health issues, including depression and anxiety. I feel stuck. I can see the signs that the depression has reared its head but my mum doesn't see it. I really struggle when my mum's mental health suffers. I too battle with depression and anxiety. Emotionally, I am all over the place. Hoping there are some others out there who understand what I'm going through.

nah, i dont paint luv - it was something my best friend wanted to do - she loves painting so i thought i'd try it too. i love trying new things, especially art and crafts stuff. yeah, we had fun doing it. she is soooo good at painting! towards the end i kind of gave up as i was running out of time and thought 'bleh, just leave it now' hehehe

ok, so this is a progress pic. ive done 3 lovehearts on it and am now filling in the gaps with red and will then grout it with white.. the white stuff on it is the glue - it dries clear though. i love doing candle holders but can only do small sections at a time. if i keep turning the candle holder around while the glue is wet, the pieces fall off hehe
