Right now, I'm just back home, racking my brain, with what more can I do with her??????????? Her dementia is not at the point where a nursing home is necessary, she's really not too bad, but I'm spent, and fear all that I do, besides my own life (which is getting neglected, my home is a mess) is driving me to drinking.
It's a long story, no replies or suggestions needed . . . I just wanted to vent.
Being middle aged, and taking care of a person with various health conditions and early dementia is so very hard, even if we have (and we have had) outside help, emotionally it is very hard. I feel I'm having one of those days where no one knows,no one cares, and what's the point. I am sure all you caregivers get those days, so I'm sure y'all know this feeling. It's just those in "betweens" that are rough. Seems like "having a beer" becomes more often.
Thanks for listening to my rambling. I see my pdoc in April, I'm sure I'll have lots to talk about.
