SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

[Former-Member]

Hey @Former-Member

Never been good at doing my hair, wash and wear here.

Cleaned up a few more papers, slow going but making progress. A old pair of jeans and track pants gone - have enough 'gardening clothes'.

Was thinking we could compose a little song to sing as we work through our goods and chattels. Although sometimes the thought of getting rid of something might make us feel a bit Frozen, we need to Let it go ...

Hi @Former-Member, hair is hair, I'll go back to wash and wear again one day. This long hair growth has been about grief, identity & self care for me - hard to explain.

Good onya for getting stuck into paperwork. I must do the same.

Like the idea of a song while we work. The one that popped into my mind immediately was SnowWhite's 7 dwarf's singing:

but not today, bit flat, wanna be alone. Have a sore heart (both ways), and need to chill on my own, lots of self doubt screaming, but I'll pull through.

Thanks for checking in though, means a lot 💜

Hi @Former-Member

I am so sorry to hear about your brother and his MS dx - that is not good and would be really hard for him to take on board - hard for anyone I guess - everyone around him - you too

Which brother is this? Your baby brother who you talk to from time to time I guess - really tough stuff

I know a bit about how it affects people - one of my part time jobs when I was at university was being a clinical technician and respite carer for people with MS - and I guess you already know that it affects everyone patient differently

It seems people are needing to take it quietly today - I am but I will need to make a sammidge or something for mym lunch - not ready to get up and get dressed and go out just yet

So join the taking-it-easy-today group - wonderful weather here and I am inside in my dressing gown watching TV while I type - enough said - I am thinking of you and your brother

Hiya there @Dec,

Nice to see you too. Thanks re bro. This is my older bro 62yo, who hurt me as child, & we only just started talking again after 5yrs, lots of conflicting feelings re him (forgiveness is hard) but he has a good partner taking excellent care - this is one I don't have to take on. 

Glad u disclosed having a pajama day too, don't feel do bad now. I haven't even opened the curtains & blocked my phone cause if anyone comes, which they won't, I intend to ignore. And phone calls are so draining. Just feel 'spent' & need to find myself or something. Not sure if I should have this chest ache looked at - but rest probably the best thing. 

Hope you're ok, been through the mill yourself of late 💜💜💜
