Why on earth do i feel depressed
CallmeRachel commented on CagedBird's blog entry in CagedBird's Blog
Have you been in therapy with a psychotherapist to talk about your depression? Rachel -
Leah ! Exercise clubs, indeed, can be expensive. I see that you live in Arizona -- Why not check out your local Parks and Recreation Programs for exercise classes and such. Best wishes, Rachel, a caregiver

Bravo! You survived your first days! It will get easier because you'll come up with all sorts of short-cuts and easier ways for you to get the work done. Applause, Rachel

I'm Tired of Talking to Them About Needing Help
CallmeRachel commented on lydiacevedo's blog entry in Conversations with myself
Time for you to GO ON STRIKE. I am not kidding. GO ON STRIKE. Stop doing everything, EVERYTHING. Put a strike sign on your chest and stand firm, until you've made your point and things change. I did it. Made a sign, marched in front of my own home, refused to come in. They caved fast, and chores were assigned. That was years ago, in my first marriage. But I'd do it again if I had to. Rachel, a caregiver -

accepting changes but keeping hope alive
CallmeRachel commented on swilkinson's blog entry in Sue's Sentiments
Sue, you said, "It is all so silly in a way, not that I have ever liked change but surely I am a “grown up” and could accept it a little more graciously?" Your feelings are never silly, Sue. and as for acting like a GROWN UP, there are times when that is necessary and times when it's not... Your days are filled with powerful, natural reactions to big changes. There is nothing silly or immature about how you are feeling. To feel, to talk about feelings, those are STRENGTHS, not weaknesses. In your corner, Rachel -
Doctors are not trained to understand or to support independent, resourceful, hearty people like you. Moreover, they don't meet many stroke survivors who acclimate and prosper. After hearing what your doctor said, you were in a bad mood because #1 Your doctor ignored your reality. #2 Your doctor doesn't believe in you. #3 Your doctor insulted you. In your place, I would look for a new Doctor -- but if that is not possible, I expect you to continue proving him wrong. Boogie on, Rachel
