Battling MI whilst caring for someone with MI

Battling MI whilst caring for someone with MI

Struggling atm. Just want to chat, distract my mind. Mum has depression, recently discharged from mental health clinic. I can see she's not well but she internalises. We are usually so close but she just wants to be on her own, doesn't want to engage in much conversation. Perhaps I'm feeling sorry for myself as I miss our relationship. I can see that my depression and anxiety is increasing, which is making it harder to cope. Feeling alone tonight.

Good idea @outlander. Hi @Shaz51 & @Bella1978.
We've been known to run out of sticky tape some times & have used electrical tape instead. Lol.
No expense spared when I'm wrapping presents. Lol

@outlander @utopia

mum rang me while i was out to make sure i was doing the shopping lol

then again when i got home!! i got most of the stuff she wanted, so pretty pleased with that! i'll have to bring them in to her tomorrow so she can have a looksies ... aaah the things i do for that woman! 😉
