For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.
Feeling fragile

Thank you @outlander You are thoughtful and it helps.
Yesterday I spent day going through some modern music. Listening online and choosing songs to collect and play. I need to reconnect more with my piano.
I noticed you have been a bit in the background, and I took time out of forum.
I will come back and check pic.
Am feeling things are a bit grim as reflected in your new profile image.
Can talk now if you want.

I have felt very restricted about listening to music and playing piano for lots of reasons.
Its complicated.
Think I need to quietly reclaim it.
What were you listening to?

Thanks for replying @outlander

Very delicate atm. Will need another prn. Son is tidying up. In a way it is good, if he follows through, but he has not done housework, bar half dozen meals in the last 2 years.
It means a lot to feel your support.

And another double prn today, walking on eggshells and Emails with psychologist. Taking it on the chin and moving on, does not make it right. It is just the way it is.
Thanks @Former-Member for email about my becoming triggered about the Carer guidelines.
I cant attend to it now, but will ASAP.
