my counselling has ended!
If you recall it was supposed to be helping me, a support, deal with the stresses, strains, frustrations etc connected with being a full time carer.
Erm, 6 weeks?
Caring is a lifetime task (in my circumstances)!
Well, that is my portion of the NHS budget used up.
So when you hear that the government has poured money into support for carers - it consists of 6 weeks counselling which we must make last a lifetime.

...yes...I know what you mean about the just letting oneself slip down...and needing to have a warning sign and a strategy to grab before the slide begins....a sort of slide into hopelessness is my one...and if I can just grab something and pull myself up by the bootstraps I can now stop myself.....sometimes it is sooooo hard though....Keep yer end up eh?
