Like a lot of people I’ve had constant bugs this year, I had one chest infection that dragged on for a month, I thought I was over these constant illnesses but I’m sick again.
Just to make things worse I’ve been forced into homeschooling my son. My son has a form of Autism that makes it very hard to set him any work.. My son is music mad so I set up some work experience helping with gigs and he has learnt about his favourite subjects with my help. The work experience gave me real hope as he got glowing reports and he definitely cheered up, the friend offered work experience during the day that my son is refusing to do, so now he’s down again.
I’m paying bedroom tax so I tried to get a job at Christmas with no luck. I voleenteer once a week partly to improve my CV and for my sainity I’ve also done business courses as I make crafts. I can’t move until May.
The snow meant my daughter came home for a few days and at first it was great to see her and then it got stressful. She ate like a locust and insisted of having the heating on more than me and my son do.My daughter can be quite catty and doesn’t always respect bounderies, this has got me down also.
Getting ill again just feels like the end. I wa reasonably happy and perusing hobbies. Now it’s back to choosing a clean house or going into town with my son, when I should be able to do both. I was also working on my CV so it’s not as if I’ve been sat around not helping myself. I’m reasonable healthy, I don’t smoke or drink. I’m panicking because as a teen I went through constant flu and it really ruined my life for a while, doctors just said things like “you have a bad reaction to flu” after I’m better I’m definitely paying for a flu vaccine. This tendency for flu didn’t really go away until my mid 20s so I wonder if a vaccine woukd be an answe for the rest of this spring at least.
Does anyone have any advice or has been in the same position?
