No! You are definitely not alone. I am also fed up with all of the irritable and constant repetitive behaviors and lack of awareness of certain things. We fight a lot as a result of this. I try to pull back, I try to let go, I've tried to smooth things over but nothing works. It's just very difficult and I totally empathize with what you're going through. So yes we do feel the same things you do!

@dianaml one thing I learned from growing up with a bipolar mother: you can’t reason with them.
It gets even worse as her dementia begins. Thank God I don’t live with her because she can be nasty.
With my housemate who is displaying undiagnosed cognitive and mood changes, a new thing I learned is “gray rock”. It’s a string boundary setting way of behaving. Google it.
This is a really tough lesson for me, giving my personality, but it dies really help to decrease chaos.
