thinking of you and Mr @Former-Member lots today , hope U R OK xx

awww so many decisions to think about

about when ??

mr shaz is just now starting to worry a bit about everything now

mum is getting 6 meals now through meals on wheels

still getting her arm redressed every second day at the hospital

when do i isolate ourselves being self employed

is mowing still ok

cleaning , when do we stop

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

hi @Shaz51 it is troubling and worrying times.

i think with your self employment being outdoors and not in close contact with anyone, if you wear face masks and use hand sanitiser you guys should be ok, with your health conditions @Shaz51 you might need to be a little more carful and so will your mum. if it is possible maybe try to do some more hobbies maybe? mr shaz could gewt back into photography to help with his anxiety. and maybe you could get some rest over this time as you have been really busy this year.

hugs my dear friend.

thinking of you and mr shaz too

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

thank you my awesome friend @Jacques

just finding it hard to be the sole decider with everything

mr shaz says he is getting worse with everything

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

i nderstand @Shaz51 maybe your family could help with the burden, looking after your mum it is not fair you having to do it all on your own with your health problems.

do you think maybe Mr Shaz might go see his doctor about his worsening Anxiety? or his mental health team?

lots oof hugs my friend. your not alone, remember you have such amazing support here to vent and to get support

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

do you think maybe Mr Shaz might go see his doctor about his worsening Anxiety? -- no he won`t @Jacques

not yet anyway !!

or his mental health team?-- mr shaz has no health team

will be ok my friend xxxx, hugs to you too

i am off to bed now

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Goodnight @Shaz51

I'm surprised when many people on forums refer to mental health teams - or assume that we all have one.

I've never heard of or seen such a thing (except on this forum).

No one I know has ever had a MHT - or a pdoc (whatever that is).
