[QUOTE="db89, post: 1557836, member: 374526"] Pleased you got some answers today. I'm sure as [USER=11028]@noblehead[/USER] says your colleagues mean well and feel they want to be helpful without knowing what to do. I quickly cottoned on that people won't get it (and I can't expect them to) and will say the wrong thing from time to time and it requires gritting teeth occasionally. Same with your Mum - probably just trying to do what she can for you and feeling a little helpless. My parents were both similar for a little while after I was diagnosed. It kinda wound me up a bit as I've always been the independent, get on with it myself and ask for help if I need it sort. Eventually I tackled it by talking more and discussing with them so they could see I was getting on fine. Either that or they got bored of all the data I started sharing with them. :joyful: [/QUOTE]
