Not Quite a Holiday Message
Added 2025-12-26 18:30:07 +0000 UTCJust a quick note
Right, so this one’s a bit more open than usual. Not dramatic, not dangerous, just... honest. Things have been a bit quiet, and I wanted to explain why. Nothing that needs fixing, nothing to worry about.
It’s just me, giving you a bit of context. That’s all

Also: it's not SELFISH to want recognition and appreciation for the effort you're putting in for others! Your family seems to take you for granted a lotttttt and it's deeply unfair to you!

2026-01-12 19:30:49 +0000 UTCFirst off, you are not selfish. That is a trap that caregivers often fall into. You need to look after yourself or you will be in no shape to help others. I have some experience in this field as I looked after my mother and father. My mother passed when I was 21 and I felt terribly selfish because I had gone out when she was taken to the hospital. Give yourself a break because you aren't a superhero you only play them on audio. I'm rooting for you.

Be transparent if you want to be, regardless of whether or not it's depressing. If it helps at all, go for it. I hope you find a way through to a better headspace soon. Please try to look after yourself. Please drink water.

I am also aware of just how unappreciated it can be as well. Just remember you are a brillaint and wonderfull being, and as you said, you will bounce back. Stay lovely and although rather late, Merry xmas season.

2025-12-26 19:14:49 +0000 UTCBeing a caretaker isn't easy and getting burned out is inevitable, especially when you're doing everything on your own. For what it's worth, I'm sure we all appreciate what you do. Yesterday, after Christmas with my family, I listened to your "Post Christmas Survival" audio and it's still one of my favorites. It's sweet and snuggly and just the right amount of spicy. And while my Christmas wasn't nearly as bad as yours, the audio still made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Here's a virtual cup of tea and a virtual hug. I hope things get better for you because you deserve it🍵🤗
