This probably only matters to me, but I read these quotes from an interview with Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and they actually hit home with me. Here is some reasons why I love this sweet man

Oh I missed what you said about wasting your life. I'm sure that is not true! I feel like my life has just been a struggle to survive. I am not sure that is really living though. I know there were some very good times in the mist of the hardships. I wish I could just take all the happy memories and put them together in a box and that be my life, not all this other awful crap. I don't know, just was hoping the second half of my life would be better. Doesn't feel like it is getting better, not at the moment. Maybe God has other plans for me, but can't imagine what they would be. I'm scared of everything and I don't feel brave. I have all these illness that make it hard to function. I can't understand why I have been left to handle so much....and I am whining and feeling sorry for myself again. Just ignore me. lol

I know what you mean. everyu day is a struggle for me, but I'm stuck being the carer for my mother even though I'm not physically or mentally capable of it, so my own health gets worse but no one bothers about me. I'm exhausted most of the time. Still, we both do what has to be done and we manage somehow, no matter how hard it is.
I hope Alex will feel better soon, it's horrible when someone is hurting and you can't help them. *hugs you both*
I think you have it harder than I do. I shouldn't complain. You have to take care of your Mum and they are pretty much like kids after a certain age and can drive you crazy. At least I have two families supporting me through this. I am so sorry you are having to handle so much that it is making you sick. That is not right. Do you not have any family willing to help out and you told me you had a long time boyfriend. Does he ever help? *Gives you a big hug*
He does the shopping every week, fixes things, mows the lawn etc, which is a big help. My sister lives 50 miles away and works full time so she's no help now mum is not in hospital. Mum's brother-in-law is older than mum and can't get around much, while my cousin has two small children and works full time. So, just me and mum's carers who come for an hour in the morning to help her get washed and dressed, and half an hour in the evening to help with anything she needs. She's mostly recovered from the stroke, can get her own food and mostly remembers to take her pills, but she does get forgetful when she's tired and she's so slow at doing things. Plus, she'll start a job, make a huge mess moving things around and then just leave everything. That's not new, she never finishes what she starts. Never puts things away when she's finished with them either

I'm glad your boyfriend helps, that's good, but it still sounds very hard. I know you have lots of health problems and that makes it even harder just to do what you have to do to get through each day. I'm sorry you were hurting. Believe me I understand, mine is mostly psychological, the Bipolar, but you know I have had some physical stuff that has not completely resolved itself. I know I would be covered in hives if I weren't on meds for it. I am thankful that at least they work with so far no side effects which is rare for me. You get those awful headaches. How is your stomach? I know you used to tell me you were on a lot of meds for that, is that right? I hope you got some rest.
My stomach is a menace, my weight has oplummeted and I was skinny before. Ome of the meds I was on was causing such bad side egffects I could barely eat. I've been switched to something elsde now so I'm hoping I'll have fewert problems with the new meds. I've also just been informed that I have a gluten intolerance. Well, yeah, I've been trying to get them to take me seriously on that for years. *rolls eyes*
Don't we have fun? *sarcasm*
Doing my best to stay positive and cheerful, because mum doesn't like it when I'm upset or angry. She says I should repress my feelings so that I don't bother her, because it's not good for her. She can be unbelievably selfish. I'm supposed to smile, be cheerful and get on with all the work around here no matter how I feel.
Wise words from the guy. I know I've mostly wasted my life.
