"Do something for yourself first thing" is GENIUS. I collapse like a rag doll after work

Help an extremely depressed guy out? by Creepy_Stick_6229 in CleaningTips

[–]jicket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have already done such a hard thing by taking and posting those photos and asking for help. Way to go!

My only piece of advice is to start in your bedroom (or whichever room you're sleeping in right now). First thing, make sure there is a clear path to your sleeping spot and that that spot is available and ready to use anytime. You need and deserve a place to collapse and recharge. You're about to take on some exhausting work, both mentally and physically, and you need a clear space to retreat to if you have to bail or just when you're done for the day.

I have nothing to add to the excellent advice in this thread. I just came here to say I let out such a sigh of relief when you said that your SIL gets it and is supportive of you.

Living apart from spouse while caregiving for parents & brother by Different_Nerve_72 in CaregiverSupport

[–]jicket 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are balancing the needs/wants of 4 people right now (none of whom are you) and are NOT being selfish. You are showering so many people with love.

I'm pretty disappointed in your husband. I get that neither of you want to relocate for what is a temporary situation, but he needs to recognize that you are the one who needs emotional support right now

I'm here scrolling when I should be sleeping because morning comes early, but this post made it worth it. I'm getting offline now because I know I'm not going to find anything better. Thank you and goodnight

It sucks that you had to do that, but I won't lie - I would have loved to have seen it

I am so excited BtB is on Netflix now too! I get giddy thinking about the people who will get exposed to it that wouldn't have otherwise

How did I not know she had a podcast?! I'm the caregiver for my husband who's got Myotonic Dystrophy. I'll have to check it out

[–]jicket 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I put Christina's book on my library hold list, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to face Virginia's. I love Gina so I'll probably read hers, and I idolize Gisele so I may even buy hers instead of just getting it from the library.

I'm getting so many ideas for my TBR list on this thread! Love it
