The great balancing act - In the name of Thiago - Day 67
That’s the big
thing. But a not insignificant number two on the list of stressful situations is
the frustration of having my dad living under the same roof as me.
And while it may
well seem very obvious to all of you reading this tonight, the realisation has
now struck me that unless I deal with problem number two, I am never going to
be able to deal with problem number one.
This helps, but that’s
only on Tuesdays..
The second conversation
focused on the need for me to be honest with Angelica. I know what I like and
what helps me in my quest for better physical and mental health (and right now
I’m feeling pretty much at the lower end on both fronts), but this can also come
at a price for family life. In a sense this almost becomes a third hidden
problem because the other two are clearly front and centre.
I remain unsure about
my mental clarity and capacity to make sensible decisions but I do know that I
need to keep doing many of the things that make me feel happier. Even the
slightest positive change feels like an epic victory to me at the moment. I am crying a lot but I’m not sure I’m really
grieving and I know that Angelica has much more to go through too. We both have
a day off on Friday. We are going to endeavor to support each other as best we
can. Frankly it’s the only way.
I know I’m a
broken record folks but donating to my special causes is one way to ease my
mental suffering because it means I’m achieving something. The hospitals need
our help so let’s help them by donating here.
