SusanEllen66: I'm in the same situation with MCI, diagnosed a year ago. Much advice for caregivers but often I feel so alone being on the "other" side.

@mablesmith We are not the only ones.
If you want to meet other people with MCI, or dementia
please go to http://www.daanow.org
DAA is Dementia Action Alliance. It’s for people with MCI, or any type of dementia. It is specifically organized for the person with the disease.
I have met people from all around the US, and Canada online via Zoom “activities” we have an arts group, music, literature, one meeting is Faith, Hope, and Love.
I really enjoy the others. There is no cost or obligation. You can attend or not…
Hope to connect with you there 🌵🌻
I am so sorry you have received this diagnosis. It's difficult for anyone to understand what it's like being a caregiver unless they have been there. It's even more difficult to imagine being the LO with dementia. I hope you can find a community like this one.
If you haven't already gone to alz.org you might want to do that. They have groups like this for both caregivers and persons living with dementia. It's the Alzheimer's Association website and has a lot of good information.
I hope you find this helpful.

So sorry you are feeling that way. You are just as important. I think that sometimes lots of us do not see hardly any comments from the person living with the condition. Whether it be MCI, Parkinsons or any other condition. Please let me be one of those whom says I see you and I cannot fathom your fear and the what ifs. I don't want to be a person who dismisses feelings of anyone. Take care and 🫂 🤗
