Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis
Perhaps some warm up exercises before you take the wheel next time?
(Unable to insert humorous picture at present - feel free to smile despite this 😀)
Going OK here @Jacques thanks. Mr Darcy remains steady and I am so grateful for that.

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis
Hey @Jacques,
Sorry to hear you're struggling tonight, it's good you've come to the forums for some support. It sounds like you are perhaps struggling with thoughts around suicide so I'm sending you an email to check in.
Take care of yourself,
Tortoiseshell

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis
hi @Shaz51 thank you my dear friend.
i feel so cared for on this forum, my partner wants me to move down to her to live with her, but i can't leave my mum, she knows that and she said she is ok with it, but i know deep down she wants me to be with her.
i feel so guilty i can't leave my mum, i feel guilty for puttig my partner through this.
yes @Shaz51 epsome salts or radox is amazing for aches and pains, i use it sometimes and can recommend it

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis
Hi @Jacques
Good to see you around.
Know what you mean about pity party, but on the other hand, itis important to come to terms with what has happened and not diminish its importance. Your do ctors expression means that it must have sunk in to her, so maybe there will be some hope for healing from trauma.
I used to be uspet about time wasted too. SOmehow I lost my years from late 20s to mid 40s, but as I gradually grow gentler on myself and release my anger and pain, my life has aspects about it that somehow DO make it all seem worth while. I hope you find a path that works for you, despite your early depression and restricted living.
I have aching shins as I have been walking up hill very quickly this week. It has also been very early and I have long days where its dark when I am travelling to and from my course.
It is so difficult but it is really worth it, so I find a way to manage.
Glad your partners issues are settling.
Take Care of you as well as mum and partner.
