Im a newbie! This is probably my 3-4 post/reply.
My mom has been diagnosed with early altzimers! Im suppose to be an adult and deal w/ this! Why do i feel reduced to a child? I feel like throwing a totall tantrum...My mom and I are like peanut butter n jelly, its been like that all my life. We look alike, act alike, finish eachothers sentences ect.....
Talk about fear of the unknown! I've Always said this is the Cruelest disease! I Can't imagine there may come a day she may not know who i am! That TOTALLY FREAKS ME OUT AND BREAKS MY HEART!!!
So many Racing thots...my head is whirling and whirling...I dont want to fall and sink into my abyss and not be able to get back to the surface!
It's very scary cuz I know how i can get!!! BLAH

Your mom needs you the most. You maybe forgotten by mind but not her heart. Show her how much you love her, the things that you've bond together, her favorites etc. Be strong for your mom.

People may forget your name or even your face, but they never forget how you make them feel! That's what I heard anyway, treatment for Alzheimer's has come a long way too.

Have your tantrum, do it, you need it. You still have many years left with your mother.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
