In the past 2 years a lot of stuff has happened. Lost 2 people I loved who were really important to me - Aunt Sylvia and Mum. Husband diagnosed with heart failure and having to be in hospital for procedures for it twice. Then all his prostate problems (still ongoing) and the resultant repeated UTIs. I was found to have 25% hearing loss and given hearing aid. Finding out I have stage 2 liver disease (the 4th stage being cirrhosis). Having to get over my phobia of the dentist (well, get past it, I'll never get over it) and go to have 2 teeth out, having never had so much as a filling before. Having to have an abscess lanced in hospital, following the worst pain I've ever had. Suffering with anxiety, stress and panic attacks and having to take medication for it. Other serious life impacting problems I don't talk about on the blog, and a new health problem which I've just been referred to a specialist for. And all the coronavirus stuff.
I'm not asking for sympathy, loads of people have far worse problems and many have lost their loved ones to this terrible virus - 3 of my family members have had the virus but thankfully have all recovered. At least it's not affecting us financially (other than food prices going up), unlike thousands of people who are out of work, who must be worried sick.
It's just all overwhelmed me and i'm finding it hard to cope right now. I just take each day as it comes and make my way through it as best i can. We're all struggling right now - please, please look after each other and keep in touch and let your friends and family know you love them, you never know just how much someone may be struggling, or what is round the corner. Please stay safe x
I send you Hugs.

Difficult times for everyone at the moment. I’m trying but struggling to find the positive in each day. Having a routine of sorts helps me to get through. I’ve found a good pattern for masks so making those for my family in beautiful quilting cottons today. Take care x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you have had so many horrible things happening. I'm not surprised it's getting you down. Like you say the only way is a day at a time, make the most of the good days.
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Hey Sooze, I think it's hard to write supportive comments without sounding patronising - so I won't. I'll just send you some useless internetty love and good wishes. x
ReplyDeleteOh, Sooze! So sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. It's a horrible time for everyone, but if you have health worries and grief to contend with at the same time it's doubly awful. Look after yourself, give Hubby and Betty a BIG cuddle. We will get through this and better days are round the corner. Stay strong. Sending love and hugs. xxx
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of love, Sooze. It truly is a very hard time for many on top of the dreadful couple of years you have had. We're here, rooting for you, for what it's worth.
ReplyDeleteLots of love. xxxxx
I am so sad for you Snooze and it is not good to be overwhelmed all the time, try and put it to one side of your pain and find some good in life, maybe make some cards and pass them on to some a charity or hospital it will keep your mind occupied and help others and you are very good at card making. I am making some little knitted teddys for charity and although my hands ache to Knit it helps to give to someone else. Take care, Hazel c uk 🌈🌈🌈
ReplyDeleteI understand. Completely. xx
ReplyDeleteYou've more than your fair share to put up with so not surprising anxiety creeps in. Hugs and best stay strong wishes!! xx
ReplyDeleteHi there, missed your posts the last few days. I know what you mean just taking one day at a time. It is tough not seeing an end at present. Health worried and grief makes things worse. Your blog readers I'm sure are thinking about you and I send you best wishes from a few miles away. Here's to better days xx
ReplyDeletePrayers and thoughts for you
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed difficult times, sending you a hug you have certainly had more than your fair share.
ReplyDeleteI've just posted my first post for a month, like you things just got to me but I'm trying to be positive and things are gradually going to get better, hang on in the Sooze and lots of love.

I went for a walk today first time I have been out for 7 weeks saw a big difference in the trees.
DeleteKeep safe, Hazel. C uk🌈🌈🌈
Thinking of you, it's not easy dealing with everything at this terrible time We'll get through this. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI think I may know a similar feeling myself.I can be almost immobilised by it and have been for years on and off.My dogs help me enormously because I push myself as I have to look after them.I do have faith it will pass though and things will be fine again x
ReplyDeleteOh Sooze, I wish i could help lift the burden just a bit. You are so right, many people are struggling and not able to see the end of the Covid 19 worries. I am so thankful for my garden, I would be stir crazy without it. Luckily I am as fit as a butchers dog and since Jess hauled me out of the misery swamp I have scarcely looked back. Every day that dawns is a new beginning and she has ny eternal gratitude. Hugs Pamx
