As I wait for my brain MRI results and also await a date for a colonoscopy after the sigmoidoscopy failed plus endure a daughter (23)with ? autistic needs and severe gynae needs plus grieving for my sister in law who died at the end of September plus be there for my alcohol dependant brother ... I have nothing left to give, I'm teetering on the edge of something.
I cry all the time, can't sleep well, have no energy even to nag my child into washing up or any chores. I can't seem to find a way through all this. Yes I am on the waiting list for some counselling sessions with my local hospital through my lovely skin specialist nurses but I have a feeling that it's just all too much to manage. Can I check into a psych ward to be away from everything?
I can't begin to separate all my emotions at all, so many.
Hi Alottment lover just seen your post and although I can't wave a magic wand to make this all better I did not want to let your post go unanswered.
Some counselling sessions will most likely help but as you wait do consider reaching out to the Macmillan Support Line that is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00.
This service provides practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear...... and our Ask an Expert section can help with any practical questions you have - but do allow a few working days for a reply.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing and was the place I found I got the best help.
If all you get from my reply is a big supportive ((hug))...... then that at least is something.
