Coping with Covid 19

Life has been odd for us all this last year and we have all had our anxieties. I lost one of my closest friends to Covid and spent some time in hospital on oxygen myself. I have never had problems breathing before so it was scary.

My husband and I are moving to Cornwall in a couple of weeks and moving at this time has not been easy.

I have been speaking to my doctor on the phone but have seen no-one face to face in a year and not sure what will happen when I move. BPD’s do not cope well with change or uncertainty so life has been challenging but then, I am sure everyone is feeling that way.

My relationship with my husband is pretty good which surprises even me. I have worked hard on trying to explain my feelings to him in long-hand which I learnt during DBT which stops me simply flashing up and down and gives him a better understanding of what is going on in my head.

We lost one of our rabbits who although he was 9 years old hurt. We cannot leave a bunny without a friend so we got her one and she hates him. GREAT! Trouble is, I LOVE HIM. So spending all my time site swapping, getting scratched and bitten and cleaning up flying fur. How could I not love him?

Trouble is I have 4 house rabbits, 2 guinea pigs and 2 birds flying round the living room!

I know I do not update this as much as I should but if you would like to help me, please comment and maybe you could help me. Most comments I’ve had are nice but I have had a couple of real stinkers. One told me to do the world a favour and kill myself. Strange but it made me laugh! An insult from someone who has never met me but is simply banning a n entire population group is so lazy, I couldn’t be bothered to be hurt.

Thanks for reading.
