    2. Telehealth as much as l can.
    3. NDIS, carers pay, FTB
    4. Knowing that your life os harder than everyone else’s. They will be rude without meaning to because their lives are easy.
    5. We used to use click and collect when l was sicker or delivery for groceries so l did not have to physically use the energy and l could still shop when l was unwell.
    6. Really using the spoon theory and choosing as wisely as you can on this.

    I hope you get better soon.


  • I can only imagine what you are going through and of course you would feel sorry for yourself. Tell your family or friends how you are feeling and take the support offered. Try to occupy yourself with other thoughts or have some pampering sessions with girlfriends. Spoil yourself. Wishing you better health in the coming months,


  • I’m truly sorry to hear about what you’re going through. Dealing with such a health journey can be overwhelmingly tough. It’s okay to feel sad and sorry for yourself at times. Remember, your strength is evident in every step you take. Sending you lots of empathy and support during these difficult moments.
