Living with Ourselves

All quiet at the moment @Sophia1

My thread can be found here Looking-after-ourselves/Supporting-my-wife-who-lives-with-Borderline-Personality Disorder while maintaining self care

Sorry @Zoe7 I had already gone to bed, when you replied - & when Hamsolo tagged me.

Yes it's very hard losing the little finches (they don't live long), breaks my heart.

Yes your fur babies would be precious.

Thought you may have entered into dreamland @Adge - all good.

How are you feeling today - have those ABs kicked in yet?

Hopefully they're helping @Zoe7 Sinuses improving - yet felt very weak today, despite rests.

So I've had to call in sick for work tomorrow (I didn't want to have to do that).

Have to go to Dr tomorrow for another medical certificate.

Adge

It is hard enough getting through each day sometimes without being sick on top of that @Adge - so hoping another day off for you will help you get some energy back. It's a bugger you have to go back to the doctor but you need that certificate

Yes, thanks @Zoe7 You seem to understand struggling through each day, very well.

Daily fatigue (without having an infection), is a real downer - makes me feel non-functional.

I wouldn't wish Sleep Apnea, or any other fatigue-causing illness on anyone.

Have a good night.

You too @Sophia1 I'm thinking of you - love your pictures, especially the cow picture. Cows are lovely...

Adge

The many years of not sleeping as well as the chronic fatigue I have had since becoming unwell nearly 2 years ago have certainly taken their toll @Adge - makes MH so much harder to deal with also. I definitely understand more than most how debilitating that can all be and I too would not wish it on anybody - it does make one non-functional!

I do also get struggling through everyday - some days I can get by and others are just plain difficult. I think I am having more okay days lately but it doesn't take much for me to fall into that dark place again. I guess with some of the struggles you have had at work you would understand what I am saying there too!

thank you @outlander re your response in the community wrap...that I eventually worked out there were two of them one of the carer side and one on the lived experience side..

I was very close to deleting my post....

you have reminded me that my feelings are valid and mine..

trying to express them on these forums is what the forums are here for..

I chose not to write more about this on the community wrap...

perhaps my honesty about my confusion and the lighthearted..supportive response from @outlander might help someone at some stage....
