Falling apart

Re: Falling apart

@dands26 how are things traveling for you at the moment? Trust Christmas went well and everything is ok for you. 

Re: Falling apart

Hi @Determined
Christmas went okay it was a little uncomfortable.
How are things going for you?
Xmr had his birthday a couple of days after. That went well.
Hopefully we are on the upwards battle now.
Meds seem too be going okay. Almost finished week 2 of those.

Re: Falling apart

Things ok here @dands26 ,  had a shaky lead up to Christmas but went ok, had birthdays for my brother and father in-law in the week after so lots of time out and socialising, my darling did ok considering.  The effort of pretending to be happy does take its toll though. 

Trust things consider on the up for you.

Re: Falling apart

Oh well @Determined .. I wish I was determined .. 😀

Re: Falling apart

Putting on a happy face is indeed exhausting. I was heartened to hear that she tried though @Determined. This seems a positive step compared to how things were a month or so ago. Did it feel that way?

Re: Falling apart

She did try @Sanatorium23 even compared to a week or two ago, still struggling on the us front but there has been a glimmer of hope there also. 

Re: Falling apart

Putting on a happy face is indeed exhausting, yes totally @Sanatorium23

Mr shaz has been trying to for a week holiday , glad to be back home today , bad night last night , I thought it would be good to break the journey home and stay somewhere overnight -- ohh was i wrong and then I found out he did not take his meds yesterday

Hello @Determined, @dands26, @Faith-and-Hope

Re: Falling apart

Sorry to hear that @Shaz51. It’s so hard to know what will work out well and what won’t. Are his meds fast acting and badly thrown out if he misses a day? My love is on the depot shots now, which come with their own issues, but not taking them is at least out of the equation. Take care hon.
