Hi
My Mum was diagnosed with early onset AD over 2 and a half years ago and is declining which I know is to be expected. What I struggle with is the anxiety I feel inside when she gets to a point where she can't do things for herself. Basically, I order all her food and have to throw out out of date stuff as she can't keep on top of this, she has help to take medication as she would not remember, she needs help to decide what to wear when we go out as she can't think for herself it's warm today I will wear something short sleeved/cool, she needs prompting to wash and do hair and brush teeth and now I have to clean her house as she no longer thinks it needs cleaning as she thinks it's either been done or it's not necessary. Think I just need to get things off my chest to people
Who understand and who are going through the same, thank you for taking the time to read this xxxx
