R U Ok? 2013

Well if you had asked me yesterday if I was ok the answer would be no! The last 4 weeks have been hellish and I have been coping by moving on. So yesterday was a low day for me and in the end I had to ask Andrew for help. Something I have learnt is we can only last so long without needing help. In our family we rely so much on each other as we don't really have outside help. That makes me really conscious of asking Andrew for help. I know that I need a break but asking for it is the hard part....

I am one of those people that message my friends asking how they are and what they are up to. It's part of who I am. Some people aren't like that and it can be ages in between talking. The important thing to remember is to check in on our friends. Not everyone speaks up when having a bad time and those that do don't always get the help they need.

So what we need to remember is no matter what face people are putting on, ask the question.
Are you ok? Are you coping? Most importantly be ready for the answer. Have a listen, don't judge, offer advice if you can. Most of the time I just enjoy getting it all out. I don't expect a miracle answer or a solution, just someone to listen.
