Every day for me is usually boring. I don't work and when I make plans thay fall apart.

I have been married to an a gel in heaven, longer than I was to her on earth.

My health is unstable

I wish everyone a happy life, I'm sorry I haven't been in touch with my friends , but I have just recovered from 2 weeks in hospital, where I was being treated for pneumonia, unstable diabetes type 2 ( now needing insulin) low blood pressure, and covid ( for the 2nd time) happy easter everyone, may your guardian angel watch over you and keep you safe always 💙

@mr chipps

Thank you, I do go to a craft group and I try to go out most days.

He is not always the easiest person to live with but he is a lot better than he was, he still won't join any groups and has no hobbies.

I am feeling low. My husband moods can be very difficult to cope with, he has been like this for over 15 years. I get hardly any me time and when I do he moans that he has nothing to do, he has no hobbies. We have to have people come to the house because of my health problems but he hates this. It's all so difficult for me.

I try to take each day as it comes in a positive way

I'm not depressed, but I doget down in the dumps. I am married to an Angel who lives,in heaven. She has been there longer than we were married on earth. I im married to an angel in heaven , because we are apart because of her passing

We are still married, because we are separated by divorce or a court order. I hope that people can understand this. I got lonely at times , but I try to mix with others, but it's not easy.

Happy Easter to everyone and your loved ones. For me it's a case of finding out what I can and can't eat, because of my type 2 insulin depent diabetes , ulcerative colitis and other health issues xx

Yes feeling ok today. Keeping busy is a major factor to my depression. Only had a couple of bad days since Christmas.

I am having a really really bad time, my car broke down and there is no public transport to the town my doctor is in, I have been trying to tell him this but he won't give me a prescription for my meds, so I am in agony with my back and left leg. And my moods are really really bad, its been 2 months since I had my meds and every day is a struggle. And then on Tuesday I get an email telling me that I have been hacked and that if I don't pay 80 bitcoins by Thursday morning that they would release all my information and I kept a journal on my laptop and that they were going to send it to all my family and friends, there is no way I could afford that, so now I am left waiting to see if they do release it, I am so stressed out and having multiple panic attacks. It just feels like one thing after another and I just can't breathe or to anything right

I always try to look on the positive side of things but do find it difficult as my husband is very negative. I did go to my GP but he just gave me a number to ring and it is usually phone counselling which I don't find very good, I use to go to a charity for counselling but they closed down at the start of the virus.

I try to keep busy too which helps, I go to a craft group and I get out as much as possible.

My husband will not have anything done to the house so the kitchen(over 30 years old) and it has hardly been decorated in the last 15(longer for the lounge).

I recently had two new hip joints which we paid for privately which was good but only because he could not put up with waiting for the NHS.

Lizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends

this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?
