Re: Carers Hints and tips to Success
Sending love @Smc, hearing you on learning to be okay with the days where you do feel like vegging out or hiding from the world. Prayer is a good way to talk through what's happening, it's great that you have your faith and the community that comes with that. Hope you're enjoying your night

Re: Carers Hints and tips to Success
Do you feel when your cousin asks about you Mum she is making a judgement on you rather than having your Mums interests at heart @Shaz51 ?
Sometimes belly aches can be a combination of things so it is a case of observing and being aware ... pastries are notorious for reflux, fatty foods for gallbladders, carbs for diabetes, top it off with tomato sauce + stress = yikes.

The Anxiety & Depression Assn of America gives these tips to help us cope with emotions around doing the hard things in life:
- Continuous contact with and support from important people in your life
- Disclosing the trauma to loved ones
- Identifying as a survivor as opposed to a victim
- Use of positive emotion and laughter
- Finding positive meaning in the trauma
- Helping others in their healing process
- Holding the belief that you can manage your feelings and cope

Re: Carers Hints and tips to Success
A couple of things that I have found handy recently are 1. Using my Employee Assistance Program and accessing a good psychologist to discuss events.
2. Downloading the headspace app and using the Free (I haven’t subscribed as yet) meditation focus on mindfulness and sleep podcasts these are really really good.
