Hi and welcome to the forums @Herewegoround 👋

Hello everyone who is reading this.

Hope you are doing well.

I have been off the forum for a while although I still check in occasionally to see what is happening. I came across this thread today and am wondering if anybody has any thoughts on something I have been concerned 😟 with lately. I recently had a bit of a health scare myself. Thankfully 😅 a doctor 👩‍⚕️ found the source of my problem which is manageable rather than the degenerative conditions which were being bandied about for awhile. But the threat has me thinking 🤔 more about the future. The thing that scares me is that I might have to rely on family members to support me. I know that healthy caring needs to be a two way thing but I also think 🤔 that we provide that care based on individual strengths. I don’t really expect family members with depression and anxiety 😟 issues to be able to support my daily needs in a way I would be comfortable with. I am wondering if anyone else has thought about this and have some ideas to comfort my concern.

😊 cheers
