Thanks; your comments again very accurate.

No, she doesn't have any hobbies as such. She's interested in gardening but due to limited mobility has to employ a gardener. She recently bought a book which almost immediately was offered to me to read. It's sitting on the unit in her bedroom untouched. Can only knit for a short time, due to arthritic fingers, so simple things like squares for a blanket or scarves. Watches well-known shopping channel to "get ideas". Reads magazines (not gossip ones!). Has admitted that she sits and thinks about situations. That's where the problem lies. To be blunt she has a closed mind. Imagines all sorts of things, either exaggerated real situations or everyone's against her.

Main problem is she thinks everything revolves around her. When I had my "dark moment" last week, I thought about what would happen when lockdown ends. Didn't have to wait long to work it out. When I told her about the episode, all she could think about was taking overdose/suicide. All I'd done was have a good cry!

I could go on but it's more of the same theme....
