rough time

Hello @Appleblossom ❣

[Sans911]

I am flatter than flat @outlander. I have very little energy and zero motivation right now. I am going to watch a rom com called Enough Already.

You did what you had to do at the time, which unfortunately you are paying the price for other's selfishness. Think of not stupid, but lesson learned. I understand it's really hard when you have pressure on both sides and you are being squeezed in the middle. As much as you love your Pop, he unfortunately lacks awareness about the impact his behaviours and attitude have on you. This is very much the case with people getting older, with increasing health concerns and decreasing independence. It's a painful situation and it's often taken out on those closest to them- you.

When I was newly graduated as a nurse, I did a transition year at my local hospital at the time. My first rotation was rehabilitation. I did a lot of the junior work, and that combined with working at a nursing home during my 2nd and 3rd year of studying for nursing, combined into a weakness in my back muscles. Six weeks into my first job I injured my back severly and was off work for 9months. Although I don't suffer frequent pain now, I do occasionally get sciatica and other muscular aches and pains, particularly if I do things the wrong way. So now, if another nurse or patient, want me to help them, and if they can't work with me to maintain safety to both of us, I will refuse. It's just not worth days of horrific pain, limited mobility and loss of function. I will no longer compromise my health.

I hope you enjoy the movie @Sans911 ive no idea what a rom com is..

Yeah i know, i guess that is where boundaries come in so will need to practice those and also the deflection too.

Im glad you have learnt those even though it was the hard way.

I spent the day trying to stabilise my mood and also spending the time searching for pops phone until he remembered he left it in the shopping trolley when we went there earlier-thank god someone was honest enough to hand it in to the service desk
And organising appts as well. Have quite a few coming up in the next week and abit

Is your meeting for your volunteer stuff?
