Trying so hard to get back into....well....everything.

I have hardly been active on MyLot lately. I miss it so much. I check every day but hardly doing anything. But at the moment, I haven't been in the mood or right frame of mind to do a lot of things.
There are some things going on right now. Including my Poppy (my grandfather) being back in hospital. This took place some weeks ago but I've been pretty quiet about it. It's not been going good at all with his dementia which causes a stressful domino affect with other worries. I will talk more about it later.
I haven't been doing much of things I want and need to do. I haven't been eating very good. Eating little or lots of junk. Sleeping is up and down. I'm not exercising as I've lost motivation. I wanted to read more but haven't been doing that. Wanted to go out more but nope, that's not happening right now.
This may also be explained in further detail later but basically I've lost interest in majority of things. Honestly, it is because of what's going on but it's also complete disappointment that some of my close friends, who I always try hard to do whatever I can for them, whenever I can yet, whilst they know what's going on with me, their lack of concern or lack of checking in with me has pushed me into a deeper and darker place. I know everyone has things going on with various things but I thought just a little effort would have been nice considering the things I have done for them.
I have no clue if this is even making sense. I will explain better later. Regarding MyLot, I am here, but sadly, OCD is making me go through ALL of my Discussions again to make sure I've not missed anything. It's tiring but that's OCD. It's ok if you don't understand but it's something I can't control right now, maybe never. And I know I have some recent Discussions to answer. I hope no one has forgotten me. I am trying hard to get back into the swing of things here, there and everywhere.

Dani, try to calm down, do not get so stressed, it is not a problem if you have missed something here in myLot.
We all have our life and our problems, it is just normal that we cannot be here every time we would like.
I am sorry for your Poppy, this must be the source of so much stress for all of you. Take care.

@VivaLaDani13 I am so glad things are settling there. You must be relieved knowing that your Poppy is doing quite well and also your Nanny.

@LadyDuck Thank you kindly Anna. Yeah I am happy he is in great hands right now. My Nanny had to have an MRI on her sore shoulder this evening and the poor thing came out shaking, pale faced and close to crying. She is claustrophobic and didn't like being in that MRI tunnel. I grabbed her hand and held her until we all (me, dad and Nanny) walked back to her house which is literally across the street. I felt so bad for her.

@LadyDuck Thank you for understanding and being supportive as always. I will do an update later on but my Poppy is doing quite good right now. He is eating like a horse. 
He is in respite care for now until my Nanny's arm surgery but he seems to be doing well where he is for now.

@TheHorse That is true. OCD can be a blessing and a curse depending or could be helpful and tiring.
Your sound hole coasters? Something you made?
And thank you. I hope so too.

@nela13 Thank you for understanding and for asking about my Poppy. He is doing well thank you so much. Sadly the dementia won't improve but I am happy to say that right now his appetite is amazing. He is eating so much and enjoying all food he is given. That makes me happy.

Hey! Sending some prayers at your end. looks like so many things going through your mind. I am hoping you are having proper healthy food, having proper Sleep... ( I know you talked about it as well. But still I would suggest at least have these points in place )
After reading your post I feel you just need change of air. I am not a good with making someone smile ( One of friend told me... She said I am not goo with talking as well And I don't understand what to say at what time. ) But if you need anyone to speak you can always PM me if sharing will help you come out of this phase of your life
Take care. And Take care of your Grandpa

@VivaLaDani13 She knows me well, I sometimes talk non sense, unknowingly and unintentionally that hurt people. So usually I avoid talking with people who are trying to co-op with difficult times. I don't want my non sense add more difficulty in their mind
I am glad that my comment was comforting to you

@VivaLaDani13 I don't really have a social life. I never had in school nor in my junior college. When I join this college, she was the one who actually started talking with me in college. And since we chose the same subjects we stayed in contact till end of college.
Sometimes I feel, she had more expectations from me that caused her not to reply me. Or I let her down with her expectations. But she was the one who taught me how to utilize my travelling time in something useful. I used to sleep while travelling. You know she cooked good sweet dish too. Madame used to say - If I visit her she will cook noddle's for me.
Oh okay, so both female friends cut you out. I completely understand when a male breaks the friendship with female or female breaks the friendship with a male after marriage as circumstances might be right with her/him after marriage as it was before marriage.
I will give you some examples - If her husband doesn't like her friends and don't want your friend to talk with other female friends. ( I have seen such husbands too 
) or Change of house/ place/ life usually makes you busy adjusting and handling things you never did before that you can't give that much time to your friends.
Whenever I think about her it brings a smile on my face. So I am okay she doesn't wish to talk with me. I just wish, whatever my friend is doing at the moment, she should be happy and get whatever she dreamt of . I would suggest you - Consider your roads were same till that moment when she left you, now you will get new friend, who will share the same roads with you. Don't worry!

I hope things improve with your grandfather. I also hope you can come out of the dark place. I know it will take time. It always does. Hang in there. You will get through this.

@just4him Thank you, yes it's a really good sign indeed. Especially compared to when he was not eating anything before. I'd rather he eat like a pig than eat very little to nothing. So happy about it.

Thank you so very much, I really appreciate your supportive comment. My Poppy is doing quite well at the moment. He is eating a lot lately which is fantastic. Dementia won't improve but thankful he is eating right now.

Sometimes it can be very hard getting back into something that you have missed for quite sometime and most especially when you lag behind as others are far much ahead. Just like when you miss classes in school for like a period of one week.
