Friends needed
Posted , 10 users are following.
I feel so lonely and scared at the moment, don't know what or how to deal with it. Im just fed up and can't see how it can improve. It will only get worse, as things won't get better as mum conditions get worse. It's tough, it really is. Sorry it's not a positive.

I'm really sorry to hear that your mum is unwell do you have other family members around to support you both?
There is support for you here, if you need anything, whether it's to rant/vent or you're in need of any practical support let us know, you can always private message me anytime as well, I'll be here.
I hope you're ok, take a deep breath and take things a little bit at a time, try not to get lost in the bigger picture.
xx

Did you go to your appointment today? I think that will make you feel better. If you DID go and you feel worse (that sometimes happens after we spill our emotions).
Remember...this lonely, scared feeling will PASS. Can you take a walk? Can you go buy yourself something at a store...even an ice cream or chocolate?
Can you watch a FUNNY show...that will force you to laugh? (this works for me sometimes).

You certainly have friends here. I can assure you we all understand how tough things are for you right now. Being a relative or carer of a loved whose ill can be extremely stressful. Do you live in the UK? If so why not consider contacting your local carer association. Also your local social services will be able to offer support and guidance and could also advise if you are entitled to a carers grant or help with adaptations for your mum if required. Some social services departments have a carers team attached. Also if you ring social services ask to go through to the duty adult team and see what support they can give you. If you don't live in the UK hopefully there is something similar where you are.
I know it's hard to stay strong when facing adversity but you don't need to go through it alone. Tap into your local resources or even charitable organisations that can help you.
Wishing you a peaceful evening
Blessings

You are not alone in feeling this way. My thoughts and feelings are the same, due to personnel circumstances I need to try and chips worth it. I find that just going for a walk or coffee with a magazine helps. I now this illness makes you feel very isolated from life, but do try and do something of activity to keep it mind occupied. It gets me through

Probaly more so when we have lifes challenges like you are having. Do you have a partner that can help you get thru ? Have you consider seeing your priest ( if you go to church ) ? Is your partner supportive ?
There is somebody out there that can be your soul survival strength

I'm sure it's really hard to be on your shoes right now. I know how awfully painful it is to watch a loved one suffer. I honestly don't know how to comfort you with mere words but I wish I could.
If you need a friend to talk to, I'll be glad to offer you my friendship. *hugs*
