Dmisey1- some days we get overwhelmed more easily than others. all of us here can relate we miss the husbands/wives that we loved before the AD came to live with us. So sorry you are having a down day. dont despair, tomorrow will be better for you. divvi
If you are lost dmisey1, this is the place where you will get directions, encouragement, and maybee even a road map. There are lots of smart and caring people here, who deserve the alz trophy......no doubt this is the most terrible disease in existance, and we are the chosen few that can deal with it. We are special caregivers, and we do the thinking for two people.....As for me, I do the thinking of 3 people.....Moe, Larry, and Curly...
((dmisey1)) Such a hard place to be, one we can all relate to. ((Hugs)) There are far too many down days, after awhile it wears you down in body, mind and spirit. Try to make some time for you. Special time, where you can do something just for you. Something as simple as a hot bath with candles, or extravagant like a day at the spa.
I never did these things, I was too caught up in the day to day, hour to hour care of Lynn. I paid the price with my health. So try to learn from my mistakes. You just HAVE to make some time for yourself. Do things you enjoy and bring light into the darkness. Keeping you in my thoughts, Nikki
Hate to sound like Polly Anna, but when I'm having a really bad day, I think to myself "Tomorrow is bound to be a better day because it just can't be any worse.!" Silly but it does help.
