  Hey @Verity
  
  I am still struggling a lot, my depression is getting worse day by day.

  I found it hard to get up this morning but I had to as my son needed me. I just don’t feel myself, I am noticing myself focus on my son rather than anything else. Avoiding my own medical appointments and stuff.

  Hey @Animalloverb I understand how the care of your sun might get in the way of your own needs, I'm sure you feel that you don't have a spare moment to make a call or book an appoitment, if it's helpful, would you feel comforable sharing what those medical needs are so we could look at resources for you? of course, if you don't feel comfortable sharing, please don't feel pressured.

  @Verity
  
  One of my main medical needs is already sorted as I got that sorted a while ago and they call every so often so I try my best to answer.
  
  I have asthma, I still need to go to my review to see how bad my asthma is as it can get worse.
  
  I have ear issues, and issues with my hearing so I am meant to go to ENT clinic, they have sorted an appointment to discuss the surgery but obviously it will depend on whether I can make it.
  
  I have a progressive vision condition aswell as another vision issue alongside it, I go to a specialist every so often to see how much it has progressed but I haven't been able to go to any of the appointments. I am not that concerned about it though. I have albinism which causes one vision issue and I then have an eye disease which is progressive.
  
  I do have more but don't want to get into it.
  
  I have had a really rough night, no sleep and my son's nurse is running late to care for him so that means I am now late for work. I was meant to be opening up today as my colleague that usually does it has called in sick.

  Hwy @Animalloverb , thank you for your messages. It sounds so exhausting to never, ever be able to catch a break from everything that's been going on. What's this week been like so far? We're here and really want to listen. You're doing so well to share.
  
  What you've said above about fighting hard for your son to have a positive start at life feels incredibly powerful, and it sounds like it can help you to feel proud of yourself when you can pause and take stock of the fact that you've made that happen. It sounds like it's been a long journey, and challenging too, and your care for him really does shine through, as well as that protectiveness.

  @Sian321
  This week so far hasn't been the best.
  I have had no sleep these past few days, and I have been so busy.
  I had work today but had to leave early so it has just been chaotic.
