Woke feeling ill again!

Most mornings I wake feeling ill, this morning I have a headache, heart illness, and a headache.  I let things out that were bothering me to my daughter which made me feel worse as I upset her and she was crying.  My stomach is churning, I wish I hadnt told her. I should have phoned the samaritans instead and spoke to someone not involved. I wont do it again, there is no point talking to Gareth about things he just doesnt understand.

Sorry your not feeling well.
You can talk here and with the Samaritans.
It's ok to let your daughter know a little
about your being stressed but yes talk to
people not involved. Can you get the name
of other mothers of children that go to the
respite center? Maybe you could talk to them also.
People going through simular things you are.

Yeah unfortunately with family dynamics always at play, families aren’t always the best at giving us support in a way we need it. Honestly, no one can really understand some things unless they directly experience those things.

I think you being a caregiver to your husband and daughter, in all matters, manners and means has perhaps enabled them. I know your daughter requires a certain amount of care due to her disabilities and don’t want to discount that but I’m also under the impression she is an adult as well. It sure seems your spouse and daughter get all of you which leaves very little left I imagine.

Have you ever heard the expression “ weaponized incompetence”? Your family seems like helpless babies. You are a person with your own needs, not just their wife, mom, caretaker, problem solver, door mat. Teach them how to treat you.

I hope you end up having a better day today because this doesn't sound very good. I wonder if your pillows are old and the dusty and skin cells we shed give you headaches. Not saying anything is wrong with you but I know how we sleep and on what we sleep can affect us, give us runny noses, etc. I know you give so much to your husband and daughter. I wish you could make time for yourself and have "respite" so big hugs.

Sometimes I wake up too with headaches. Bad allergies and sinus pressure. Lots of pollen floating around. I take a Tylenol or Advil. Seems to help. And if I dont sleep good I dont feel good when I wake up either.

Here's to feeling better.

So sorry Claire,

That is never a good way to wake up. I so hope and pray that you can work things out with your daughter.

I am dealing with issues with my daughter as well. That is never a good thing.

Healing hugs.

    It's going to get hotter here with Thursday being the hottest. It's noon and 75f feels more like 80 or more.I've been cleaning up the deck in this morning and cleaning the windows outside. Then I cut up a  pallet in half, I've decided to call it quits now because I went a bit light headed. Joanne, some drugs we take have an effect on us in the heat, I know a couple of mine do, maybe yours...
