Hi everyone I am new here. I have just reached a point in my caring role where i feel I can no longer carry on caring for my husband ..I broke down in tears and just cant stop my self crying i went to the doctors and he has given me diazepam......I dont take any medication if i can help it and have only taken 1 at night to help me sleep .....but still able to wake up if my husband gets up, I am fighting to get help although we do have a needs and care needs package my husband does not want to go into a care home for me to get a rest. I then looked at care in the home and found some thinking I would still get 6 weeks a year break but care in the home cost more so I have now been told I will only get 12 days a year .... this has sent me a bit over the edge because i feel I need more of a break than that. I am about to give up but feel guilty and worn out I cant think straight.
