My experiences putting all of me together to cope with chronic illness, depression, anxiety in a constructive way.
Self Care
I reached the point where I have to step away for a few hours.
Daddy is still stable and doing okay ... and cranky. He's angry because he can't have his way or relief for things when he wants them and he wants to go home.
I am emotionally tired and it's started hurting my feelings.
So I am home for the evening with my mom and my other dad, I'll be staying the night, get a shower, a home cooked meal, do laundry, and go back in the morning.
There are other family members that will be visiting tonight but he will not have anyone at his beck and call for awhile, he will have to push the button to call the nurse/tech.

I keep a sugar scrub here at mom's. I am now scrubbed and showered. Laundry is running and I'm reading and relaxing. I ache a bit but nothing that I can't tolerate.
My mother made me a lemon sugar scrub for Christmas that I absolutely love...I feel so smooth and shiny after using it.
I know! I love how soft my skin is too.
