I went through the thread and read all comments. I know am hours late and am so sorry for this delayed participation. A lot of comments resonated with me...a lot of words such as - emotional numbing by @Former-Member, snappiness by @Tanoozle - things I experienced lot of last year and with time lessen as I learnt how to care for the carer (myself). It is hard not to over-care, especially in my case where I am the person my friends and staff confide in. It's hard to say No when I have my own personal issues to deal with sometimes. I admit I put on this facade and my outlet other than my dance lately is wanting to do things on my own like watch movies at the last minute. Wanting to be more spontaneous with my activities most times than have my friend's plan and diarise every meet up way way in advance. It's cause me be less attentive to my phone than before. I question if this is a bad thing at times and if I am becoming a bad person, becoming selfish.

Sorry for the rant....thanks @Former-Member for the topic. Definitely really good tips here 😊💕
