Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member 💕💜
You need to think of yourself right now. Please try not to feel guilty that you are not up to helping your mum and dad. It's not selfish to think of yourself.
I'm going through the same situation with my mother, she's not well and in her very late 80's.
We need to get well before we can help and be there for others. If we try now, we'll just feel more unwell.
There is alot of home help available for the elderly. I used to feel terribly gulity about not being able to help my mother, I still do, but I try to switch off to it. Guilt doesn't help us get well.
If you feel you need to do something, maybe give your mum phone numbers to seek home help etc. There are alot of different agencies that do alot of things, clean, shop, shower, drive people to appointments etc.
I help my mother by looking after her finances, but that's all I cope with. I can't visit her, but I hope I feel well enough to in the near future.
If you don't feel up to that even, try to switch off your thoughts regarding your family. Hard?? Yes, but sometimes essential
Do you feel like gardening today? You seem to enjoy getting out in the garden 🌷🌻🌼🌹🌸🌺
☕🍰🍩 A nice cuppa and treat. Love and hugs to you.
@Former-Member @TAB Did Peter's wife escape? 😯

Re: Sleeping too much
Oh no @Former-Member, hmm I was once told we cannot be present elsewhere for everyone else, if we are not intact as a unit ourselves!
I'm with F+H...you have your own feelings, loss that is hurting for you right now.
Self nurture is better than trying to be everything.
Otherwise physically we suffer too.
Maybe some music to distract, whilst your brain unravels the trigger /s...
Oh little man has a cold, worse at night...as always! But we are plodding along.
May sunshine be on our backs all day ❤⛅💛🎶🌊

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Former-Member,
Hi Shimmer, thank you, made me cry. Had my cuppa & my pills and laying back down. So much to do but grinded to a halt a week or so back. Think maybe from a little argument i had with my closest support person. How is it that the closest people in the world end up judging me. I so need someone on the planet that feels on my side. Is it too much ro ask. The lawns up to my knees, the gutters are overflowing, the dog is crook, the budget is lean, the house is a mess, i ran out of my home made magic soup supplies and my mother bitching eacist tx msgs about the $5 nurse that just started showered dad & how i should be doing more for them (from interstate even after all the abuse), when i can't manage things here and SI.... I don't know what to do really, where to start. Its all too much, yet so empty.. Don't really want to go into a spiral publicly on the forums when so many key people are bad atm (which effects me). I don't know. Its all so sad. But nice weather, maybe try dress and potter in the garden. Thanks for checking in, gotta get up. Keep trying. Divert, not act on bad thoughts. haha all the stuff i tell everyone else. I'll be ok.💜

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member
I'm with @Former-Member ..... scout for care services within their area, then tell them your pooch isn't well so you can't leave him .... which is true .... and give them the details for in-home support or temporary respite services in their area .... it's setting up a precedent for future occasions too.
Feel like a coffee stop .... ?
