Hello Beanie, I know just what you mean about the tiredness. I took my 81 year old dad for coffee yesterday and was laying the ground for my decision to go four days per week. He has always been incredibly healthy and by his own admission cAnnot understand mental health issues like depression or the effects of physical injury. He is a lovely man and really listened when I explained that although I am technicAlly able to climb the career ladder I have had to come to terms that I have limits to what I can do in reality.
I really treasure him and am glad that he is now trying to empathise, prompted by his personal experience of aging and the way it has begun to impact him.
You are a lovely and tremendous lady. We can only do what we can do so please be gentle to yourself.
Much love and gentle hugs if you'd like them. XxxxxxxWith family, friends and pets (or any combination of them) life will be fine!

9 years on MSE!!
How my life changed when I found MSE.
Not at once but slowly.
I never ever thought I would be debt free far less still staying in my house.
