Catch 22

Caregivers process information. Duh. The bigger game is how do they process it? Or more poignant, how should they process it?

Men as caregivers do largely as they are told and they meet the expectations set forth by society. If they step outside the box and try to give care beyond the norm, they are not chastised but neither are they supported nor adequately encouraged in this course of action.

It is almost as if... (You'll fill in the missing pieces.)

What I need most

Permission to imagine, to pursue my dreams.

Goals that reflect a world as it could be, the way I see it.

Means for instilling in all people the want to give better care.





Hang in there

Hang in there, it will get better.

Hang in there, you shall find rest.

Hang in there, you are doing the right thing.

Hang in there, make it through another episode.

Hang in there, the worst may already be over.

Hang in there, this experience is preparing you so you'll be able to handle things yet to come with less doubt and agony.

Hang in there, it's all worth it.

Hang in there, the love you give is among the greatest achievements of your life.

Hang in there, don't quit.

Hang in there, tell yourself to try just one more time.

Hang in there my friend. Hang in there.

Internal injuries

Sometimes I wonder if I shall ever find myself again. Demands were easier to handle when I only cared mostly for my own needs. This change of giving care to those in need has taken its toll on my mind.

TRUST

What’s up? None of this is easy. I keep thinking somehow everyone can wake up and everything will become straightforward. That’s how simple minds work.

I appreciate honesty. I despise paranoid behaviors. You may have to dumb it down to achieve honesty.
