I feel totally and utterly hopeless and trapped.

It is assumed I will disconnect chemo pump/flush picc line. 

Nobody asked me if I wanted to and I don't!  

I don't want to launder shitty clothes/bedding.

I don't want to be a punchbag for all the frustration.

I don't want to be unable to plan/commit to things I enjoy.

I want out!

  • Oh Thank heavens.  I thought it was just me that felt like this.  Phew!   Feel quite relieved .

    I just zone out now. Chemo cough is doing my head in.

    Earplugs for the snoring.(I have to get up efore the sun for work still)

    I usually stick my head in a book.

    Lack of being able to plan and a lack of knowlakge about my future is driving me to distraction.

    Some days I just cry at every turn. Some days I pretend its not happening.

    Its exhusting.

  • I feel so lonely 

    Everyone thinks we are fine.

    Everyone still wants a piece of us. (Ooh I've got a new job but no childcare ) 

    Fed up if being the bad person that says no we can't be relied on 

    Fed up

    Fed up

    Sorry just needed to vent. Still want to cry but it's expected that I don't. 

    Struggling so much

    Sorry rant almost over I hope

  • Hi sally, a vent is good.

    Its so incredibly lonely and exhausting being a carer for someone who is sick, whilst also often worrying about the future.

    Youre not a bad person, youre an amazin person doing their best. Please learn to say no if you cant manage. Is there any support out there to help. Have you consideted a carers assessment? 

    Its ok to cry, i did all mine when my husband slept. 

    People get it here, keep talking

  • Feel for you ,hope you have a better day today x
