Let`s Talk -- how was you day today !!

[Shaz51]

yes @Adge

I was hoping to see my usual doctor but instead saw a new doctor and she said it will be triple harder for me to control my kidney disease and diabetes

left the doctors feeling sooooo terrible

[Former-Member]

That sounds really overwhelming @Shaz51 It's never a nice feeling to hear news like that, particularly form somebody that you don't know so well. 

Congratualtions on the lack of vomit @Adge I imagine that was quite a nice change! Probably made that pumpkin soup go down a little better too.

Hi I'm new to the site and forum. Hope I'm in the right place. 

I thought this might be a good place to start..how was my day today? Spent the morinng with daughter (36yrs)...abusing one another. I'm so tired of trying to be reasonable, calm, understanding...Today was just awful, and now I am in tears, very emotional, feeling guilty and exhausted.

thanks. can anyone recommend a good counsellor, psycologist or other support? Inner/ North East Melb.

I've been dealing with my daughters illness for nearly 20yrs on my own and feeling just a bit burnt out.

I’m so glad you found a place to start. I had a conversation yesterday with a dear friend who like myself live with loved ones who have MI. We are exhausted from the process of being the one, the everything the gate keepers and holders of reality. Just when we feel the rollercoaster slowing down to a leisurely pace it damned will triggers again. You are not alone and are now with many many others who understand and care. Tears for us can be a good thing and a release. From time to time we all need to reassess the boundaries of love. Big hugs.

How are you now? I hope things have settled for you.

[Chrissy1]

Yes I agree and thanks for that. I am sure this Forum will be of great support. I have just posted (a seperate response) asking for any possible professional or other support. I really don't know what I need to be honest, but know that I'm clearly not managing atm.

Hi @Shaz51  I hope you are well, and thank you for the tag trying to support @Chrissy1!

Unfortunately, Moderators and Forum members are not allowed to list specific Psychologists, as this could be seen as both advice giving and/or a breech of anonymity. However, I can suggest that you look at the Australian Psychological Society Website. Here, you can browse for Psychologists who practice in Inner North/East Melbourne. I hope this helps @Chrissy1! 

Look after yourselves, @Shaz51 and @Chrissy1!

Kindest,
