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.

@outlander@Bella1978 It's one o'clock. The front yard looks amazing. II'm exhausted. My uncles have worked their butts off. We are going to lunch in half an hour. I really just want to curl up in bed and sleep. My hands are still shakey. I just find it hard when people are here for too long. One hour is fine. But more than that and my anxiety rises and I struggle. Think I might take another calming med. This is too much in one day.

Glad that your yard is looking nice @utopia - I think you're doing really well, as I can imagine how hard it would be. I Hope that lunch goes ok and you can relax and rest this afternoon. Hopefully the calming med also helps you to sleep later. not much longer now and will be done...

Re: Battling MI whilst caring for someone with MI
@utopia Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry you have had such a stressfu morning 😔 I can understand you just want to curl up and sleep. The anxiety would have also exhausted you. Think of me being there with you, holding your hand. You got this! And when you go back home, it's rest time! 🤗 This morning hasn't been good for me either luv. Mum hasn't been taking her meds, agitated with nurses, and bp is high, wont let them take her bp. They have transferred her to ED at another hospital. I'm waiting to go in and see her. This is never ending for her 😕 Sending you big hugs sweetheart. Are you back home now? Xxxx
