Time for reflection

[chloe40]

Let's reflect on the past 3months to see how we are all doing <3

I am feeling more upbeat than I was 3mths ago or even 2 to be honest; I've had a health setback but hope to have treatment soon so that's okay.

How about you?

Chloe <3

hi Chloe hope your ok and in a better place,I`m usually like a yoyo up and down all the time.

Hi Kenny kenster1 Yes I am thanks, but what about you?

Has your doctor offered you various forms of therapy or even medication to help?

You had so many losses Kenny that I'm not all surprised you feel this way, there's only so much we can cope with on our own.

I hope life picks up for you Kenny I really do, you really deserve it!

yeah had therapy last year probably the least helpful yet supposed to be long term that ended up 8 sessions on the NHS waiting list but that could be months still.

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to kenster1]

Yes, the waiting lists for any NHS treatment is really long winded these days, I feel your pain there Kenny!Sending support {{{hugs}}}

Yes I am feeling a lot better about things and I have got better in letting things go and more confident in myself and lots better in saying no to requests.

My sister in law said to me how I don't have to apologise for having already made plans before the request was made!

With saying no to requests your body tells you whether to say yes or no before you give your answer!

Also if you are unsure it's fine to say can I come back to you on that one when you are put on the spot as very fee things need an immediate answer!

Hi Hidden So pleased to read that you're feeling so confident, that's great news and good advice too <3

Not in a good place at the mo. Lost my sister 6 weeks ago and I know it's early days but I can't believe she has gone. All the emotions... Sad one minute angry the next. Trying to be strong for brother in law who is in a bad way.Hope you don't have to wait to long for treatment chloe x

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to Skyp]

So sorry to read about your loss Skyp That’s so hard for you xx

I’ll get back to you later x

Hi Skyp You're in a difficult position trying to support your brother-in-law and grieve, but you do need to have space to do this in your own way. You've clearly had a good relationship with your sister and that's a very special relationship, one that will take time to come to terms with. My worry is, that if you keep your own feelings suppressed, that could be lead to other things.

I'm wondering if you could ask for support for your brother-in-law from another member of the family for a while to enable you to have thinking time?

We're hear for you Skyp {{{hugs}}}

I’m sorry to hear about your sister. When my sister died her partner fell apart I tried to help but I was in bits myself. My sister was my best friend. I did my best but it was hard. Make time for yourself. Take care x

[Skyp]

Hi chloe. I only have a niece but she lives away and does try to come as much as possible. Yes you are right I need thinking time. Feel shattered with the upset of it all.xx

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to Skyp]

I'm sure you do Skyp

Always here for you <3

[Skyp]

Thank you, x

Hope you get the treatment soon Chloe. Last 3 months—- health wise not good. Since having covid, although I didn’t get it badly at all, I’ve been sooooow tired which is really annoying me now as I’m trying to get up & going!! I’ve now got a heavy cold unusual for me. Not letting it stop me too much.

I’ve got lots of things planned going forward all booked. My life isn’t at all as I thought it would be, not one bit but what do you do. Give up or try to take a different route

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to Caza]

That's not good Caza I've heard that tiredness lingers after Covid and by the sounds of it, your cold means your still not 100%. Are you taking any vitamins to boost your immunity? Don't forget self care Caza, your health is important <3

Pleased you've got plans going forward, I wish you everything <3
