Hello everyone,
I’ve been a member of TP for a number of months now and I have replied to a few posts but not introduced myself.
I’m trying ,to deal with what life has thrown at us, my OH has been diagnosed with mixed dementia / Alzheimer’s some 18months ago and prescribed Risperidone which has worked wonders.
However, it is now dawning on me just how totally consuming this terrible disease is. I so want to help and find answers as to how we can improve our day to day.
reading TP helps me a lot and puts our situation into perspective . Yet Still I can’t help but feel completely mentally exhausted, so often I just want to drop my shoulders and exhale, breathe normally.
When I wake in the mornings, I go into auto pilot, telling myself, today Will be a good day,
we have a dog so there’s a reason to take a walk in the park and a coffee at the cafe. That is as good as it’s gets for us.
Thank you all so much for just being there with honest, informative info , for caring and sharing your experiences at such a stressful time in your life’s.
