Support and freinds

[Bethie]

Hi

Since joining BB i have learnt more about support and freinds than i ever thought possible. Life in tbe last week has been crazy. My husband who i care for with his MH issues is now able to go to a neighbour's for coffee on his own because I've been calmer. A neighbour i only kinda waved to before is now like a mum to me. Today i was driving her on a few errands and my car refused to start at the shops. She works as a carer and was great calming me down. The car goes back in to get fixed tomorrow. My husband stepped up and rang the car yard we brought it from.

Having loving supportive people around me is amazing. The tools i have learnt from people here about how to be a carer but also how to respect my husband and let him be a husband after his accident and PTSD recurrence is incredible.

This is such an amazingly positive and awesome post.

I was smiling reading it. This is such a great online forum and so good that it’s helping people.

I’m glad you and your husband are doing so well. I wish you all the best.

hello Bethie, I've seen you have been able to answer other people comments and that in itself is a positive sign, so well done, it's great to have you with us.

Now your husband can go next door whereas probably before he was unable to, that is also a great achievement, not only for him but also for you.

Getting your strength back is most important when overcoming depression, but with this strength you learn so much along the way, congratulations. Geoff.
