exercise

[Shaza123]

good morning fellow PMR friends. I’ve been reading some posts this morning and it makes me feel not so alone. I’m finding my mental state hard,trying to be positive is difficult, I have started doing some exercises I’ve found on you tube for PMR I do them everyday now,has anyone else seen them.

Might be helpful if you can give a bit more information even if you cannot link the video…for example can you give name of the therapist?

PMR is life changing. Start to pamper yourself and relax.

[Shaza123 in reply to piglette]

Never been much of a pamper lady always to busy, but I must try. I think many women just concentrate on our husbands needs and the children and forget about ourselves .

[piglette in reply to Shaza123]

It is quite a shock as you say. I always said yes I could help all the time, it is quite difficult to say no. Also asking for help is always difficult to start with.

[Shaza123 in reply to piglette]

I find it hard to ask for any help as I’ve been so use to being the one who got on with everything. I feel sad that all this is happening to not just me but to my husband as well as he is on this journey with me and has been my rock

In some ways it is good as one has to look at things from a different perspective. It makes one realise how life can change and can force us to change too.
