Hello Auntiep, I'm sorry to hear about your mum, thinking of you.
That was one of the reasons I decided to start this thread was that the way I am feeling and thoughts I am having, others may be having the same but think its wrong to have them.
Molly11, any time you feel like dropping in even if its just to say hello, feel free.
Hi lexy, I had another appointment with Cruse yesterday and another one is booked for a couple of weeks time. I don't know whether its being helpful as yet, the person seems to understand why I am feeling the way I am, but we shall see how things go.
I think that's a good idea putting your cat into a cattery, as for catching your cat can you put some food into the carrier then wait for her to go in then shut the door?
No I don't feel up to going out and about yet, its ok if I am with someone (Connie came with me to my appointments) then its ok but going somewhere on my own is something totally different, maybe in time things will change but that's the thing it will take time.
The depression is still much about the same and the self harming still continues now and again, I know what you mean about wondering why our mums got Dementia I am still trying to figure that one out. I do have the odd cry now and again, but majority of times I have a tear in my eyes when I mention mum.
I have been using some of the produce from the garden, but times I just have a sandwich as I can't be bothered, or maybe something sweet. As for the sleeping that is still not happening as I'm in pain with my back, hips, so i'll mention it to my Dr again when I see him in a few weeks.
Mums friend is getting better, hopefully she will be back to her usual self.
