Depression Understood Forums

Well for me I have been taking care of my mother now for ten years and involved with family and being around death for 15 years,starting with father passin then brother passin then mother being diagnosed srating with lung cancer and end result of that was pd disease and 100 percent bed ridden me caregiver, my story so much involved I cannot really type it all but everyday Im saying cant do much longer Im in her prison she cannot be left alone I have been thru the whole ordeal of bringing in ppl to help which already spent ninety thousand dollars for help in 2yrs marriage totally is going down hill fast, money does not last forever and since I told ppl mom has dementia well thats it no one no one calls or comes over like we have disease Im totally 100percent sad do not want to do othing not even write bills no one really to talk to this is not right for me to feel so helpless

(((((Sandy))))))big big hugs.

I'm so sorry for your losses, and being a full time carer sounds really difficult, and not something that people can understand how demanding it is. Have you had a look into some sort of talking therapy? I think it's quite common and necessary for carers of family members to seek that out, and I think it would be a really good release, someone to let all of these thoughts and feelings and grief to.

Much love
