Hi everyone,
I posted before about my family situation. I am recovering from a surgery that left me in a wheelchair and unable to move a lot. It's been 4 months now with another 3 to go...I've just about exhausted every possible thing there is to do in a wheelchair stuck in my house. My other major issue is my sister, who has severe OCD. She has been struggling and gets no relief. It was bad enough with the two of us being stuck in the house with nothing to do all summer but then....
she broke her leg. We're an unlucky family. So now we are sharing the walker, and wheelchair, and crutches. We are both trapped in our bodies and in the house all summer. It's been one day and I already feel myself slipping into a depression. I'm extremely stressed trying to deal with my own situation, and now I'm responsible for a 10th grader who can't walk and has a very troubled mind. I just don't know what to do with the two of us. I know there's stuff like knitting, scrapbooking etc, but if I have to do one more boring project like that I might lose my mind!! Her OCD has gotten much worse the past few days because she's been stuck in the house. I see all of her symptoms amplified because she has nothing to distract her and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!
Please, any suggestions on how to keep occupied or something we can work on. I have two online social media internships, which take up about 5 hours a week, but I do them alone so that doesn't help my sister at all.
I really am at a breaking point here, I almost feel like my family won't survive. I appreciate any help and advice you can give me.
