@Former-Member I managed to get most of the washing up done tonight myself - yea!!

it sucks that you couldn't get out the door today. I have those days too when I just don't want to leave the house - I am getting better but sometimes it is just to get to appointments and that is all I can handle.

I am sorry about your little bro  It is a really tough situation for you but you are right about looking after yourself first - otherwise you cannot help anyone else.

My family situation is a bit tricky as they don't know about my MI or my trauma etc. Basically they are completely unaware of what I have been through and what is happening now. It is a very long story as to why and I'm sure you don't need to be bothered with that.

As for friends - there really isn't anyone. The only 'friends' I have don't live anywhere near me and/or do not know what is happening for me either. Most of the friendships I have started to develop over the years I have 'backed away' from to protect myself. So when I so I am all alone with this - I really am except for my GP support.
