Sigh.
Slugdoo.
Its REALLY hard to take care of ourselves when the sickness is in our heads. People understand a broken leg, but they can't SEE a broken heart. And then of course, we can put on such a good show, but its exhausting putting on the show. And then we are drained. People can't see how hard it is, they don't understand....
We understand here on babble.
I think you are doing good things in doing what you need to do to put the pieces of slugdoo back together. I think its important work, and hard work.
But don't expect others to get it :-(
You could try.
Tell them your sick, like ANY sickness, and this sickness makes you tired and stressed and you can't take more stress. Tell them you are working on healing but it takes time.
and mebbe they will be kinder?
I wish.
You wish.
So many of us wish.
So you not alone in this, babble at least understands.
I think you are doing the right things I really do.
The others are just going to have to back off.
I have had those moments when my kids have said stuff and it breaks my heart.
Sucks.
But you at least are trying to get ahead.
Good for you.
Take care,
Muffled
