hey gals, im okay thanks outlander. just a long day, thats all. and at times feel emotionally exhausted, and worried about mum. sometimes i think she is getting better but other times i really have my doubts. its all a bit scary for me. im meeting with the social worker at the clinic tomorrow to touch base with her and have a chat about mum. also worried about my bestie. she has disassociative identity disorder, and things have been really bad for her at home. her husband threw her out yesterday. she is fortunately living with her parents. she has 3 kids but they are with her husband. she is such a mess the poor luv - i was with her yesterday arvo/evening. i need to be there for her as she means the world to me and has helped me through so much. but im doing okay. having some down time tonight, just at home. bought some groceries and a puzzle book for myself.

i just gotta take one day at a time.

im sorry i havent caught up on your threads or the messages you have both posted on here.

Awesome news about the echo coming back all clear, very happy to hear that, and must be a relief for you too. see, im not just a pretty face lol … I thought it may have been white coat syndrome. How is the new gp? You happy with her? amazing how you didn’t even realise you were feeling anxious when you were getting your bp checked. But great that now you know. And very pleased to hear you are healthy!

Mum’s moods are still fluctuating. She is getting demanding though which is annoying me. she sapped the energy out of me today. I was gonna go for a short visit but ended up staying longer. At least she went for a walk outside with me, so that was nice. But she is so freaking focused on all the stuff she wants me to buy. Anyway … not gonna think about it for now. Doing my head in lol… but to be honest , I am worrying about her.

Just read about your mint slices – were they good?? I cant talk, the amount of crap I have been eating lately is ridiculous!

What was the council meeting for luv?

@outlander
