My wife is in intractable pain 24/7. She is unable to walk and is terribly depressed. We do inside things but she is very limited. She also resents it if I do something alone that we used to do together or visit a friend alone. We live in an independent living community that has a lot of support but she won't take advantage of it. She totally depends on me. How do I get some time for myself?

He takes oxycondone for the pain. Now he has significant memory loss and aphasia. He is depressed and ready to give up. He doesn’t want to go anywhere or do anything except watch TV. I’m overwhelmed
