Not Coping

[Former-Member]

Hey there @Snowie  🙂

I think this might be for @Birdofparadise8  instead of me? 🌺🙂

Mum is permanently in the aged care part of our local hospital,  is doing OK but now confined to a wheelchair @lavenderhaze , I go up every couple of days to see her xx 

What is your favourite food ? 

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah it was @Former-Member 

[Birdofparadise8]

Thanks @Shaz51 

[Birdofparadise8]

I’m really not okay @Former-Member 

[Former-Member]

Thanks heaps @Birdofparadise8 💜🌺🙂

I use crutches all the time…cooking, laundry, cleaning, in the bathroom/shower, etc… they are a proper pain in the backside hehe. My legs have lost much nerve function so they don’t work properly, or at least, how I want them to ❤️‍🩹

Oh I’m sorry to hear the pancakes were rank 😔 I don’t often make pancakes so I don’t have a nice recipe that is tried and tested to share with you 🌺

sorry to hear you’re stressed, too 💜 

is it the appointment clash? 
im sure they should accommodate due to it being with your psych 🙂🌺

[Birdofparadise8]

Oh okay that would be hard.

yes I’ve asked my psych if he will se my later that day @Former-Member

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ❤️‍🩹

im sorry to hear that dearest 💜

anything in particular you feel comfortable in sharing? 🌺

[Birdofparadise8]

I feel like I'm falling apart into a million pieces. 

I feel like I'm spiralling, and there's no coming back. 

I feel so broken and beyond repair. 

I feel so hopeless and worthless.

I just want this pain to go away. I want everything to stop. 

I want to not feel like this anymore. I don't understand why things have become so difficult these past few weeks. Last week was so hard. I feel like this week will be as well. 

I'm so sorry, but I'm just a burden to everyone. @Former-Member 

I don't know how I'm supposed to go see the older person once I get changed from the pool.

I’m so very sorry to hear how distressed and down your feeling @Birdofparadise8 💜

Those feelings sound really heavy to carry ❤️‍🩹

it may not carry much weight right now, however I would like to gently remind you that you’re not a burden at all - you’re very much a valued person, and all those good and positive things about who you are, are only found in you 🌺🙂

It makes some sense that things are more difficult lately with so much uni work to do, while you’ve been adjusting to a completely new environment and flatmates, too 💜

I wondered if there is something to do that helps you not feel this way? 

How do you feel about going to visit the older person - do you think it will be helpful to you to do? 🙂
