Thought as you are all like minded people I would share my days with you for some uplifting advice! I say days as they are all the same and I say uplifting as I have giggled a lot reading these comments! I am one of the 'lucky' ones! Big garden in a rural location, no home schooling! OK here goes!
Get up after no sleep as anxiety and nightmares, take tablets that haven't been needed for a year! Until since lock down suicidal!, shower, dress, clean house, try to prise 19 year old out of bed as going to bed at 3 am as no work, no social life so no point in getting up! Scream at him 90 times that yes that all the food we have and no I don't know what I'm cooking for fucking dinner as it 11am!! Try to get 16 year old to dress, or at least eat something as half a stone weight loss on an 8 stone girl is not healthy! And the fact she keeps passing out is not good! Try to stop her having a panic attack by accessing the only mh support she can have is online with no contact with her normal support network (friends and Co workers) walk dogs, try to talk down oldest dd with 4 month old baby who is struggling and needs support, sleep, feel worse get up sort animals do dinner for family including dh who works 12 hour shifts, watch telly while he snores, go to bed and hope to sleep! Whilst worrying when I can actually hold my parents 100 yards the road, or my oldest dd or my baby grandson, or the ever worrying aspect of masks!! They terrify me and I can't wear one as I have panic attacks!! Sorry for the long post! No after sympathy but some jokes about altering my situation would help!! 😂 Thanks xx
