Hello, thank you for the reminder, there is good, sometimes I forget. Our 17 yr old son is bi polar and my aging mother has Alzeimers. Our son is in a difficult age anyway and adding the bi bolar is just plain nuts sometimes. We are always tweaking his meds. She does live with us. Sometimes I go home and just want to turn around and leave. I have kleptomanica and steal. So life is not barrel of laughs. My husband is a saint who I sometimes wonder how he stays as we celebrate 20 years.
How does one put some of this to rest and get over our own problems? Thanks for the input.

Hi you do have such a lot going on at the moment. I am an aged care worker and was just wondering with your mum is there is a support group within the community where you live, that may be able to help you. Just thought that this may help to take a liitle of the pressure off you. Also you have a wonderful husband,you are lucky to have his support, sounds alot like mine. You need to take care of yourself and have time for yourself. Take care here if you need me Piglit

Wow, you have a lot going on! You ask how to take care and deal with so much.
personally, I believe that if I'm not good to myself it can be very challenging to care for and support others wholeheartedly. If we are not well others can pick up on this and then a cycle of worrying begins and burn out is inevitable.
Try to make a list of goals that you wish to achieve in the next year and work diligently to achieve them. One may have to be the stealing before you get yourself into legal problems which will only ad more stressors and most likely be embarrassing to your loved ones as well as self.
Best,
Rox
