He probably does - Mum feels that way about Sis - knowing this makes it easier not to take things personally @outlander although the things they say can be quite hurtful.

[outlander]

oh yes @Former-Member they come out with some very hurtful things. i try to deflect it but when in a not so good mental state myself even slight things set me off.
I guess though ill learn to deflect abit better as i grow.

Hows things at your end?

[Former-Member]

@outlander have had my sis on the phone on tears when things with mum get a bit much. 

Mr D wobbly, increased follow up with MH team at present, pdoc appt not this coming week but the one after.

[outlander]

your a good sis @Former-Member she is lucky to have a support person like you.

im sorry Mr D is wobbly though, i hope things can get sorted quickly for you and mr. How are you coping with it all?

[Former-Member]

@outlander I hold onto hope my little one, that even when things are on a down that things are cyclical and if we can get some intervention happening in a timely manner odds are on our side to be able to avert a crisis.  MH team are aware, are increasing monitoring, have pdoc appt in under 2 weeks, if needed they will.bring forward. 

[outlander]

your a very strong woman @Former-Member dont underestimate yourself but also know its ok to accept help too Hugs and hugs
im glad the mh team are aware, i really hope they are quick smart and can intervene before a crisis does happen.

I do give occassional SOS's @outlander knowing when to tap into supports can be a balancing act possum as I don't want to over burden friends or broadcast things unnecessarily but go have a couple of understanding friends that I try and meet up with regularly.

[outlander]

it is a balancing act for sure @Former-Member but your never ever burdening me so you can talk to me anytime you like. please dont hesitate ill always be here for you ok- whether they are false starts, minor worries or just need abit of company. you have helped me heaps and heaps with coping with life. it works both ways.

im glad that you catch up with friends though

[Former-Member]
