I am really struggling to keep up with my Dad’s needs. He has Alzheimer’s that has been very well managed for about 4 years but for the past 3-4 months it has become progressively worse.
I have cared for him for 10 years and I am only 34 now so I have spent some of my most important years caring for him which I was always happy to do but I just don’t think I can do it anymore. I have recently been diagnosed with early menopause so I am trying to cope with accepting that as well as the physical and emotional symptoms of adjusting to HRT and realising that I have missed the opportunity to have my own family. Things are just really hard at the moment
