More about me

I live in Exeter (UK) with Colin (my partner) who has CFS [cronic fatigue syndrome] as well as depression. It can be very difficult dealing with a full time job and making sure that Colin is ok.

In an ideal world I would work from home, and be able to maintain a nice safe work / life ballence. But I do wonder whether with the causes of his depression that somedays it's better for me to be at work than at home, even though it means leaving Colin to be "Home Alone." It is very diffuicult ... dealing with the constant fear of losing him vs overprotecting him.

At the moment he's also suffering with cold and flu :( :( which is doubly worrying as when he was a student he got a chest infection, which in essence destroyed half of both of his lungs. Cold and Flu has a nasty propensity in him to drop down to his chest and become a chest infection... which in turn can lead to pnumonia!!
