Need to talk/chat room

Hi everyone,
My name's Liz and I live in Australia. I care for my husband who has multiple endocrine and other health problems all of which interact (usually negatively) with each other. I have recently lost contact with my best friend who was also a carer (we decided not to move away from family and live near her and she took offence and stopped talking to me - maybe not the best choice of a best friend Blushing emoticon ). I am reallly missing being able to talk to someone who understands how I feel about being a carer, and I can feel this impacting upon my relationship with my husband!

I'm wondering if there is anyone on here who would be available to chat at a time when I'm online! Can usually be online from about 7pm Sydney time (as I get online while my husband and I are watching TV). I've been going into the chat room and there is never anyone in there!!!

Hope someone else is around sometime or I might just burst!
Liz

Hello liz

Some time ago we had Jorum in chat she is also an Aus; maybe Michele will pass on a messsage there if you ask her? In the meantime chat is a late starter these days; few if any in till after ten our time and you would be made very welcome there.

If you need someone to talk to via e-mail, send an e-mail to Michelle asking for me.
