At first, when we got my husband’s diagnosis, my doctor prescribed an SSRI that I did not want to take, and I haven’t. That said, what has helped are CBD gummies (with no THC) I take a half a gummy when my anxiety is at it’s peak and they do help.

As time goes by I need them less and less as I educate myself more about the disease and become accustomed (is that possible?) to my ever changing spouse or at least the fact that this is our life now. I also attend a monthly caregiver support group with the local Alzheimer’s Socitey, it really helps. I pray, oh do I pray. I also continue to lunch with friends. Oh, also going for a walk each evening with my spouse helps us both.

I still have bad moments but I feel better able to cope with them.

I love all the pictures!
