Your art therapy has always been motivating. I haven't really had the chance to do it but I hope I would. By the way if I may know, what kinds of problem do you go through these days? I really hope you can be freed from it and find more clarity in life.
Hello my dear Mac, well, I tell you, the problems for me are mostly mental because of the fatigue at work Mac. Having the economic and social situation that we have, the elderly are the most affected, the food pensions they are given are not enough for absolutely nothing, they are only 30$ per month, so they can not buy their food, medicines, many of their relatives have left the country, so they are practically alone, which generates depression and end up with multiple ailments.
So, in my practice I have to talk a lot with them to try to make them feel a little better, while I treat their illnesses, but it is important to listen to them, empathize and explain to them that they must recover from this emotional situation because otherwise the multiple ailments will continue and, in fact, many of them end up dying from depression because of everything they are going through.
So, basically, if I see 10 patients in the office per day, I have to listen to the life stories of each one and try to help them find viable solutions to help them, without just sending them medications, because they do not have the money to buy them and, on the other hand, those medications are not going to completely solve their problems.
It is as if you have 10 friends and all 10 ask you one by one, on the same day, to talk to you about their lives and all the problems they have to help them. It ends up being exhausting because they are difficult situations to handle because they have many needs and without money it is very difficult to help them.
And so it is with absolutely all my patients that I see every day, because the situation of the country affects them too much. The aging process is difficult to cope with because of the multiple diseases, but when there is economic deprivation, it is even more so.
That's what it is... basically it is mental exhaustion that I often suffer, so when I get home from work I start to draw or look for some way to do mindfullnes, to clear my mind a little of all those problems I heard about during the day.
Basically that's what summarizes my problems Mac, that I have to work a lot around here, because inflation is very high, so you have to have several sources of income, and working a lot involves trying to help many more of these people, with all these problems. So it's pretty hard to cope. Mainly that's what it is, carrying other people's problems 😮💨.
Greetings Dear @macchiata 💕, sorry for not visiting you lately 😓, you see I've been very busy.
