Balancing Family Time and Self-Care with Disabilities

Healthy boundaries.. it is hard to do to loved ones but sometimes you need to for your own good.

Start introducing your family to new things, without telling them why though. New foods, new activities. A bit by bit. Over some time they won't even know it but their taste buds will change for something healthier, trust me. They'll start getting that head and body rush that they'll be looking for more. Just don't tell them it's 'healthier', never mention that part or anything about the diabetes issue! Just kinda, luer them all into the lifestyle of no diabetes, luer them into your healthy lifestyle as you can bit by bit. Introducing new foods definitely helps. Be like hey! I got this, wanna try some? Or hey,, I heard my friend talking bout this,, I wanna try some, and then offer them to try it. And then if they like it,throw in there, it tastes sooo much better than "blah" I hate how that grease was just floating out on that burger, made the buns all saugy (my personal response actually lol), and this one I can actually eat without it spilling everywhere! Haha I hate that! And when done eating, be like damn I don't feel so gassy anymore, and I'm full, AND it's so much cheaper! (Unless it's not lol then start cooking at home) Lol I'm just throwing ideas out there. Totally works on me and my bf starting eating healthier lol Hope this helps

What do you mean paperwork and meds? Related to his disabilities? Can his dad to some of it? Be sure to take time for you every day. Most need that 5-10 min meditation or such to feel better and deal with those around us. I use essential oils to help with relaxation, calm and such.

With PTSD it depends on the circumstances.. I wouldn't recommend trying to work on outside problems first. Work on yourself then try to slowly work your way on outside priblems.
