Feeling sad
- Thread starter christmas
- Start date
There is no need to feel sorry. Caring for someone with dementia is a very lonely road sometimes. You have every right to feel sad. Too often, we have to put our brave faces on for the world.
Hope you have a good day, and the sad feelings lift a little. xx

I have a relative who has had a breakdown...all in the past now, except for the fact that sometimes she has a sad feeling....then she panics that she might be going to have another breakdown, till I point out that it's ok to have a blue day, to feel sad once in a while.....it's only if it persists that one might need to see a doctor..
I know that I had many blue days when I was caring for Mum.x.x.

It's just the norm Christmas, weekends always seem worst for me than during the week, don't know why. Hope you feel a bit better soon. Always people to cheer you up on here.

Perhaps it's partly to do with it being the weekend christmas? I know that others find, as I do, that the weekends have become a bit of a sad time when we tend to have less contact with other people whereas we used to spend the week looking forward to the weekend.
I hope you're able to find a few things that will help you be a little less sad before Monday comes around.

Thank you I feel a bit better now I think you are right it is the weekend I always feel down when it gets here but my son came today and cheered me up I don't like the children seeing me low it makes them unhappy and I don't want that they have enough on there plate he is coming again tomorrow with my grandchildren so looking forward to that thank you for being there for me. everybody says ,we are here for you but I don't know where I am alone all the time and I don't mined most of the time it's just sometimes I get down with it all but I am ok x Christmas
Glad your feeling better Christmas. It always cheers me up when my grandchildren are here. I had a bad throat and head cold this morning and didn't want to get up when Mum did at 5. My grandson who is nine said you stay in bed nana I will get up with grandma, how lovely was that. Look forward to tomorrow and that's weekend over. xx

Sorry you are feeling so low Bill. My husband passed away last month so I know how sad and low you must be feeling. It's the little things that you don't think about that floor you and it is difficult to pick yourself up.
We will get there, slowly but surely and all of us dealing with bereavement at this time have to take our time and slowly, hopefully, we start to feel that little bit better each day.
Thinking of you
So sorry, Bill. You will find lots of support here. My daughter is dyslexic so I understand. You put your feelings across very well x

It's very early days still Bill. I remember several times in the last ten months since William died having to leave the supermarket in tears, having caught sight of his favourite flavour icecream , or the lemon mousse that I used to mix his meds in.
One thing I did when William went to the nursing home, which helped a lot at night, was I moved to another bedroom and a different bed. My room now is on the opposite side of the house, and I re-decorated it, so feels completely "mine".
