Help me explain to friends why i often have to cancel plans

This is a daily life. I've not been able to make plans for anything other than Dr appointments for last few years. If they are truly your friends they could come to your house and understand your conditio. If you need to go to bed for a while or if your not able to proticipatein activities but would be glad just to be there. If you can send them information on your issues they may understand much more.

I’m exactly the same way! It’s so hard to not overdo it when friends come over because I feel badly about being “done”.

I think sometimes friends want to help but just don’t know quite what to say or do. My teacher friends still always include me and maybe once a year I’ll
manage to join them. I tell them I am most unreliable now due to being my husband’s care giver and dealing with my own lung and other health issues. I am always glad when I can make it out to see them, and they get it. And I’m thrilled to have a handicap placard! Never thought I’d say that! I know it isn’t easy and hopefully you can get some part time help . Your mental health will be better . Good luck. Irene5
