I just wanted to check on our supporters here. How is everybody managing their own stress when their partners may be extra symptomatic? Do you have any coping methods you’re using? Any solutions that are working?
My vet seems to be doing fairly well, but I only get the outward appearance. Who knows for sure? For now, we’re using the fine art of distraction and keeping super busy. Going to bed tired in the evening. Lots of projects, lots of cooking, lots of cleaning of closets, etc. It’s keeping him occupied. I’m also furloughed, so I’m around where he can keep tabs on me, which I think eases his mind when things are crazy.
This all may blow up in my face in the long run, with too much togetherness and not enough space... Or he may feel over-stressed because he’s not accomplishing some dumb project. Who knows? I’ll take the good for now though.
