Hi all! Anyone else notice your face has changed?
I’m normally such a smiley person. I still am, the moment I talk to people.
Let’s talk about your face, when no one’s around. Your normal resting face. I used to smile all the time. I just realized today, that when I walk around alone, I look very serious, like a lot’s on my mind, grumpy, unhappy. I lighten up immediately in company (but I guess part of that is an act).
I see my face has changed, since caregiving. A really serious, unhappy face.
I hardly have any stress from my mom these days. I hired in-home care. But you know, the problems never end. There’s always something.
I’m sure I’ll get my former, happy face back.
For now:
Venting is back.
When I think on my whole life it has been, and still is a happy one. Yes, there is more pain in an 81 year old body that doesn't do any pain meds, but that isn't it.
How interesting you bring this up.
