Re: Struggling

@8888  Hey 8888 welcome to the forums wish it could be under better circumstances for you.   So sorry to hear about your dad  plus the operation (my ex has sinus problems so I know how painful it can be). I have noticed you around so is good to see you posting now. You are right we are a friendly bunch of caring people who will stand or sit with you through the worst of it. Do not be afraid to ask for help. If you want to talk I will be on today on and off. Take care your friend. greenpeax

Re: Struggling

@8888  Another welcome from me.

 

Sorry you are so unwell. 

I struggle with sinus problems, no fun at all. I hope your operation goes well, but sorry you have to wait till the end of the month.

 

Also sorry to heard about your dad. It’s really tough for you right now.

Take care.

@8888  Headsup dont forget if you want to talk with someone inparticular to put a @ infront of their name and then they will get a notification of your post.:)

@8888 

 

I understand how exhausted you are from having sinus issues. It is debilitating and prevents doing things that you want to do. I have had issues with allergies which have completely snowballed my life.

 

I can only imagine how it must be with visiting your dad during the current circumstances of COVID-19. It makes it challenging for all and you are doing so well through your exhaustion.

 

There are Allergists out there that look at sinus problems as well as other specialists. Please remember to look after yourself whilst looking after others so you take good care in yourself.

 

I hope you are also keeping in check with mental health professionals for your mental health as having an immediate family member like your dad in palliative care is a stressful time to go through. Make sure you reach out to someone to talk to.
