I have bipolar and schizophrenia and I am on shielded list for health problems. My mum is my carer and has been dropping shopping off but I have been isolating 4 weeks and only seen her once when I needed her to look after my kids who have sn and don't sleep so I could have a sleep.
Was feeling very down then my mum dropped kids eggs of tonight and phoned me to talk to me while she was outside and said there's a surprise in there for me to cheer me up and to my surprise for the first time since I was 18 was a chocolate egg. Not just any egg but a Lindor Lindt egg.
Might seem small but was feeling like a failure and useless and a drain on society and like I wasn't worth my mother being proud of me as I've done nothing constructive with my life other than learn to function independently and raise my dc who have SN which just makes them each a little different unique and special to me up. I have no qualifications will never be able to work my marriage failed badly was tossing all this over in my head and then my mum done this now I feel ten times better.
