We all do it to some degree @outlander , I do too 

But Mr shaz seems to go on about it

This article reminded me of how Mr Darcy may feel things are no longer doable (or indeed may not be doable) post diagnosis and I need to give him the space to make the appropriate adjustments that will help keep him stable.

interesting @Former-Member 

[Former-Member]

There are some things Mr Darcy liked and was good at doing pre crisis @Shaz51  which do not seem to hold any present interest. Still learning how best to encourage him.

mr shaz has come a long way over the last 13 years that i have known him , which is great But still having a lot of ups and downs -- sometimes it feels like we ar going backwards xx

@Shaz51 , if it ain't one thing it's another ... I know at times it feels as though we can't win.

if it ain't one thing it's another ... I know at times it feels as though we can't win.-- ohhh @Former-Member  it seems that way

[Former-Member]

Trying to ensure I keep those self care things happening @Shaz51 as well as keeping my eye out for things that will give Mr Darcy something to look forward to as well.
