Looking after ourselves

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Thinking of you @Determined .... and it’s okay not to respond.  Tough day for you and I just wanted you to know I’m thinking of you.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Thoughts and prayers with you @Determined.

 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Thankyou @Former-Member  @Faith-and-Hope  @Smc 

 

Having a rough time here. 

Darling and boys holding together better than expected at the moment. See how things go after the memorial service.

I'm not doing so great however. Have a chronic cough that comes when I get really run down that everyone seems to need to comment on and give advice for. On top of that randomly bursting into tears makes it impossible to hold a conversation with anyone. 

We have some amazing support though from my family and our local church. We really are blessed despite the current grief we are all feeling. 

 

Just wanted to check in so you know we are ok. Thoughts are with you all also. 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

More hugs incoming @Determined .... wishing you all well around and through the grief.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Morning @Determined , hope everything is going well on your end. We are all too hard on ourselves over how well we are doing, hopefully we can all find that person to lift our spirits and point out the positives. Its all too easy to focus on the negatives (i am notoriously bad at it lol). In my case, when i constantly have someone telling me all the time that everything thats wrong is my fault, it makes it hard to be positive.

@Determined 

A time to mourn ... A time to cry

Thinking especially of you Bro.

@Determined 

Quick wave Bro, thinking of you lots.  

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Here too...

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Thanks @Former-Member appreciate your thoughts a lot.   Things here are as well as they can be.

Darling Dad and children are holding up well.

After Tuesday will be the test.

I have a viral infection which is most frustrating. Hoping it clears up by Tueaday.

Went to GP today and told to rest and let it take its course. 

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.

Thanks also @Smc
