Thank you @RiverSeal I am safe.
To clarify it is my wife that I am concerned about 🥺,
The support here has been invaluable over time in supporting my family.
It helps to not have to carry burdens alone.
Some things can't be shared (or are harder to share) with friends or family out of sensitivity to our loved ones.

Hi @Determined
Great to hear you are safe and thank you for letting me know!
Concern for a loved one can be challenging too and please do seek support here for yourself. Family and friends are not always our go-to people for support about MH but your peers here on the Forums may share similar experiences.
Please share the burden by talking about it, it helps!
Take care 😊
RiverSeal

Hello Carers, Family and Friends ❤️
I thought I'd do a bit of check-in this evening ❤️ No pressure to take aprt if you're not feeling up to it
1) How are you feeling?
You can use a scale of 1-10 (1= really bad , 10= really good), if you would like to.
2) What is one thing you have struggled with, and one thing you have done well?
3) What is one nice thing you can do for yourself today?
How ya doing @Shaz51 @Determined @Faith-and-Hope @maddison @JustinSane @BAB @ExhaustedCarer @outlander @Krishna @Leeanne @Mumsy21 @tired_sisyphus @Romeo
And welcome to some of our newer members ❤️ @Number1Trauma @Hummingbird4
