Hello Confusedatimes: It sounds as though you have allot on your plate, as the saying goes. Being a caregiver can be very stressful. And then if you're not getting enough sleep, that must make it doubly difficult to keep going. I'm glad to hear you're making an effort to get some professional help for yourself. If there were to be an opportunity to participate in a caregivers' support group, that might be helpful as well.
