We are in the dementia journey, please how do other carers managed with anxiety, I am finding sleep very difficult
hello @Daisyalice by going day by day and trying not to worry about the future and what problems you might need to deal with. you dont say how long you have dealt with dementia. if recent then take a breath and know anything you might need to ask or rant about, you have found a safe space to do it. it will take time but get all the support you can.We are in the dementia journey, please how do other carers managed with anxiety, I am finding sleep very difficult
slow down. i think thats all we really want to be the best but we are human as well. dont put so much pressure on yourself, i always think if hes fed, clean, decent then anything else is a bonus. im not super woman and ive learnt to just prioritise which bits i do. im more relaxed about his care now that in the beginning. i couldnt have sustained that but have a happy medium. i wouldnt stress or become ill and take it as it comes and not think of the future as it can become overwhelming.I really want to be the best I can be and look after him.
nobody would want it but just need to work with it in whatever way you canThank you so much. You makes things seem so much clearer and better, I will certainly look at things differently.
