You are doing just fine!

Its March already,where does the time go?

Its so easy sometimes to loose track of time..you carry on doing what you do each day and all of a sudden you realise that so much time has passed.

Caring, can be the same and depending on who you work for ,the shift patterns (although you love what you do) can take its toll. All of a sudden you are grasping onto the moment when it is your day off and you can have a lie in!

With me it was every other weekend off. Not so bad.However , many don't realise the time you start , finish oh and did I mention you have to see to your own family as well.

A typical day would be up at 530am to get myself ready and out the door ,allow for travel time and be at first visit for 7. In and out of visits till about 2,phone goes and you get called back out, get back home do bits and pieces before you know it ,you are getting ready to go back out for the night run and probably won't get back till about 1030ish on the night.An hour to unwind,bed about midnight up again at 5.30am.
You get the picture.

Yet, it is still the most rewarding job to do.Tiring,definately,but most rewarding.

Once again, these silent angels run around the community and no one really notices.

I do. You bring life into the homes of so many and spread light in the darkest  of moments.

From the Heart....THANK YOU.xx

This really is for YOU!

This blog aims to be used as somewhere for community support workers  to be able to offload any fears, bad days, difficulties, emotions etc that they feel shouldn't be said because its not the thing to do!

We are only human and unfortunately a carer in whatever capacity is expected to reach their limits and yet ,still keep on going.

Sometimes that judgement is put upon ourselves ,by ourselves…and so it remains that at some point there comes a time when you just have to admit ’ today is a difficult day and this is why…’

Community support workers, care assistants, whatever your title may be, I hope you will feel comfortable enough to offload here. There are no judgements, just a place where you need not fear expressing what is going on for you.

You never know, combined experiences may be able to offer help, guidance,understanding and friendship
