Falling Apart Too...triggers, be careful
| Tue, 06-29-2004 - 7:58am |
I'm losing it here, but fighting really hard to keep it all together...my mother is in the hospital, my brother and his gf (her caretaker) are moving away and now its all on me to take care of her when she comes home...well, between my father and I.

Glad to hear that you're still sticking with your meds (it can only help, although we sometimes think otherwise). Wish I could say the same--while I'm not consciously not taking them, I forget half the time because my memory has taken such a nose dive, which I know just makes matters worse.
Hang in there, you ARE a strong, together lady and it's just temporary stressful situations that are hitting you now--remember the (Gloria Gaynor-?) song--I will survive!!--we're ALL going to 'cause we're fighters and survivors and we've got each other to lean on when the rest of the world stinks.
Hugs, Marci
I feel so bad that all this has been draining you like this. I am so concerned about you. I e-mailed you to talk about all this.

Hang in there. I feel like 95% of my life is pretending to have it together when I am barely hanging on inside.
My granddad recently died and my grandmother had nurses there part-time at first to help her (she couldn't have done it alone, everyone has to take care of themselves first) and then they had a live-in nurse up to the time he died. Hopefully, something like that will be available to help you with this load.
As for hating dh - I do it from time to time sometimes with reason and sometimes without. I know it is because I overreact to most of what he does (not all). It only makes me feel worse when do it.
Just wanted to let you know I've got the falling apart syndrome going on most of the time it seems like.
You can get through it.

Thanks a lot Betsy...my mom has so much wrong with her...Diabetes, Heart Disease (terminal), and so many other smaller things there are too many to mention.
Brenda,
My AOL isn't working right now...in fact, my computer isn't even hooked up...I miss you, girl!
Tina!
