My boyfriend is being incredible. But he worries so much. Like he's not sleeping properly because he keeps waking up in the night to check my heart rate on my fitbit. Makes me worried about him.
He's being wonderful though. He's looking after me when I'm too unwell to move around. He's taken me to A&E on several occasions (unfortunately), visited me every night when I was inpatient. I honestly couldn't ask for more. I'm wary of placing too much on him though, which is why I made the thread. I'm hoping I can get some support and advice here too.
MY dad is also being really good. Normally he doesn't really do much, but he's offered to fly down to be with me, called me every day and generally taken an interest in my health. When it was psychiatric reasons I was inpatient he was distant and unhelpful. But because this is a physical illness I think he feels more able to offer support because it's something tangible rather than a mental illness that you can't visualize.
And my friends, Lillie in particular, have been incredible. SO supportive. I'm very, very lucky.
So yeah, I DO have support. I just also miss my mum and want her here with me.
