Struggling again 😔
Feeling very flat ATM, caring for elderly parents last week. Dad had a fall and mum has dementia. They have both gotten worse. On top of that I had a disagreement with my sister about weather I should visit them through these troubled times. Made me so upset and now I'm on a spiral down again. Doesn't take much

Re: Struggling again 😔
I’m sure you’ve been told this hundreds of times, but you always put the oxygen mask on you first, family second. You need to take care of you too. You’re important and deserve care.
If I were you I’d contact my psychologist and see if I could talk it out with him.
Do you have something that can kinda act like an anchor in the storm?
I find my kitty also does a good job when I’ve had arguments.

Re: Struggling again 😔
please feel free to have a look around and join in wherever you like. a little forum tip is to put an @ before a members name this way itll tag them for you so they'll receive a notification from you.
you might like to join in on the carers forums as well. there are others including myself who have experience with caring for elderly parents or those with dementia
as a carer its important to also take care of yourself. have you got any supports in place that your also able to talk to?
carers Australia is pretty good and have some resources as well you might be interested in
