Coping ok. Sorry for people affected by it

[Chunty]

Hello Geoff, Thank you very much for your warm welcome into the community. It feels really good to receive nice messages and to be able to support each other in somewhat similar situations. Im sorry to learn that you to wanted to end your life. I sure know what it feels like.I am so sorry I did not respond to your post earlier, as I was going thru some nasty experieces and yesterday was a major disaster. Im ok now, just drained and not feeling the best physically. There are problems that need sorting out Its so true how social and physical stresors can affect your mood and thoughts. Im coping at the moment and putting my trust in Jesus to help me and it does work. How are you going? Are you alright? I sincerely hope things are going alright for you. You come across as a kind friendly person. If you like to share any troubles please dont hesitate to send me a post. Do keep in touch anyway.Take care. Chunty😋

Hello Chunty, no apologies are needed and if you are keeping your trust in Jesus, then you have every right to do this.

I will never criticise anybody for believing in what they feel is their best choice because trust gives people stability and a feeling of worth, so religion does this for so many people and I applaud this and whether or not we agree or disagree we need to be more respectful of people who hold beliefs that differ from your own.

I truly hope that what you have been struggling with over the past few days have eased to an acceptable level and do hope that you also seek the help we can provide from our own experiences.

Best wishes.

Geoff.

Hi everybody, can anyone advise how to keep your cool? My carer got the dates wrong for the carpet cleaner.He moved the commode away from my recliner, took the lid off and started vaccuming the carpets. I dont know if Im imagining, but I felt negative energies. When he finished he left the commode,went on the couch and snored. At the same time, he left the tap in the kitchen dripping. It all was getting me on my nerves and I felt like exploding, but I just shut up very frustrated. I was usting to go to the toilet, so I got up and slowly walked to where he left the commode and attempted to remove the lid. He heard me , got up and put the commode back in its place. Then acted as nothing was wrong. I really dont know if that is passive aggressive behaviour, or am I over reacting or what. Im feeling tensed now. I had to write this post. I didnt want the situation to escalate. Its hard to control your feelings sometimes. Im only guessing ,but I feel my carer takkes his frustrations out on me. I dont know if the moderators will publish this post, but Im interested to know what other people,s opinion.

Hello Chunty, I do know when we're unable to achieve what we once could do, does certainly frustrate us only because once before we could carry this out with no problem what's so ever, now that we're older, we are unable to do this, that's what does annoy us.

When this does happen, what we want may only be an inch away, but still unable to reach it, and I remember when I was in traction after a hip operation, whatever I wanted was just out of reach, that's definitely a frustration you won't know until it happens to you.

I'm not sure your carer wanted this to happen and only expected you to ask him, instead fell asleep not knowing about the situation you were in, so maybe it's us who are annoyed with ourselves, and must admit similar occurrences also happen with me and because I've got OCD a leaking tap is annoying, that's what I can't listen to.

Best wishes.

Geoff.

Hello Grandy, Haven,t heard from you for a long time and just wondering how you are? Are you still in hospital? Do get back to me, if you want to. Im concerned about your well being. You are a very lovely caring person and I am grateful for the support you have given me. I wish you well and God Bless.🤔🍒🐩

Hello Dear Chunty,

Thank you so much for caring..yes I got discharged early this week and am home now..I’m sorry I haven’t popped in to say hello..The transition from knowing I was in a safe place to being back home again isn’t easy and to top it all off, we have a mouse plague here now for 2 months and I’ve been kept busy trying to get them out of my home....I am very thankful that they are all gone now...

I don’t like hearing your carer isn’t very attentive to you..that’s unfair..your needs should be met first over everything else...can you talk to him about attending your needs first..you sitting in an arm chair being left hungry, cold and in pain is just not acceptable, even if he is a friend of yours...

Chunty..do you like reading or do you have some kind of hobby that’s not to hard on your body...I like playing Homescapes, it takes me away from being trapped inside my thoughts...Maybe something like that could help you?..

How is your beautiful Merryweather going?..My two little dogs seem to know when I’m struggling mentally and sit next me...one on each side, animals truely are a gift from God...Did you listen to 2 hands by Elvis Presley at all? It’s okay if you didn’t..another song I like to listen too a lot is Sir Cliff Richards..”The Lords Prayer”...Its sung beautifully and gives me a lift when I listen to it...

I do so much hope that your not in too much pain Dear Chunty and your managing to get a good restful sleep at night....I read that we need only 12 minutes of the sun’s rays on us to help our sleep cycle keep in tune with our bodies....If your carer doesn’t or can’t take you outside at least I hope you can sit inside where the sun comes through the window..

I also wish you well precious friend and God bless you..

My kind thoughts always..

Grandy..

Hello Ggrand and Chunty, so pleased you're home Ggrand, and we always say take it easy, but we never seem to do that, there is something we want to do even though we know it's not advisable, but please look after yourself.

I am a fan of Elvis Presley, but not all of his songs excite or entertain me but those that do I could play over and over again.

Best wishes.

Geoff.

Hi Grandy. Its nice to be home, and I do hope you are managing ok. I do realize the transition can be a little bit scary, but you sound like you are doing ok. I know the mice was a problem, but you did well solving it. Just try to take things a little at a time. It great to be back with your pets. They are so soothing and therapeutic. Yes I have listened to "One pair of hands' by Elvis, and Ive saved all the versions. Its a beautiful song.My favourite is "Take my hand Precious Lord " The lyrics apply to me. Im not feeling well Grandy and I feel rejected by the medical profession. I feel pushed aside, like Im an attention seeker. My pain is really getting worse. I can hardly move and its spreading all over my body. I get shortness of breath. The doctoor examines me, says its fine, its only your breathing muscles ceasing up. Nothing they can do.. Cant do anything more for pain as Im on maximum dose of painkillers. 'You dont need to come into hospital" I did,nt even asked to come in. In fact I hate hospitals. I am getting alot of sleep disturbance, waking up in the middle of the night in pain and having horrible nightmares and shouting out for help. I felt my dead father was near me. These nightmares are getting frequent. My carer says oh it could be the flu shot.I got this very rare neuroloical aggressive progressive disease. Most doctors havent heard so I keep getting the brush off. I really feel like an idiot. Im sorry to put ths on to you Grandy. I needed to vent as Im upset. I like to know if the sleep disturance is caused by my mental health. Im looking for answers but cant get any, just brushed off. You keep taking care of yourself, and I hope you are feeling better. God Bless🍒🍒🍇

Hello Geoff, Nice to hear from you. Not feeling the best at the moment and all I get is the brush off from the medical profession. I dont know about you, but I think there is still a stigma attachment to people with mental health issues.Some of the doctors and nurses make attitude obvious when they find out you have Psychiatrc history. Its ugly but its true. You dont have to like Elvis. We all have different likes and dislikes. I wouldnt mid an opinion from you if you dont mind , or if Im imagining it. Chunty

Hello Geoff..

Thank you so much for being pleased I’m home...

Thank you for your wise words and your care...I will definitely try to look after myself better then I have been...

Kind thoughts dear Geoff..

Grandy..
