Topic Tuesday: Carers Week **CLOSED**

Hi MrsC,

The fact that you want to help others who are struggling is a great virtue. I know there are a lot of volunteer jobs going - ethicaljobs.com is a great place to start.

Also, doing craftwork with other women I don't see as selfish at all. I see it as looking after yourself so you can better love and care. That's quite beautiful. I do see your point though - I think it's human to feel selfish when we do something for ourselves. I personally think that the very fact you feel selfish because of it just show you have a loving nature.

Online forums are an alternanive for people who can't get to meetings workshops etc. It also connects you to a wider group outside your area.

Hi Everyone,

Thank to everyone for all their great feedback and thoughts tonight!!

As we are starting to get some good discussions going, we have decided to keep this "Topic Tuesday" open until 8.30pm (another half hour).

So keep sending through you ideas!

Hi Jominy,

Hello and welcome to the forums!!

Thansk for your post, these types of forums are good for people who can't get to meeting elsewhere. Your also right, it connects you to a much larger demographic, because people here are from all around the country. I think that's great becasue it really shows that you are not alone.

Do you also like the idea that you can tell us all your thoughts, and remain anonymous?

Hi @NikNik

LOVE your pic!!

Just to let everyone know, if you wish to continue any of the discussion points that were open on tonight's Topic Tuesday, I have made them as individual discussion threads.

You can view all three discussion questions in the "Looking After Ourselves" discussion topic.

I think these topics can grow to be a great resource for our carer members to access, so I encourage you to keep discussing!! You guys all have such good advice and feedback.

Thanks again,

Hobbit.
