Morning...
Just checking..with all the news and virtual chat around having to look out for the mental health of people who are now "isolated" eg. Working from home..does anyone else want to scream "hey, welcome to my world"..I'm isolated, I'm a full time carer for a husband with dementia?!
Actually..I'm in a much better position than people living with dementia on their own..they really are isolated....or other carers without a family and friends support network that I have (doesn't mean I don't sometimes still feel alone..at bedtime usually). But..it does make me a bit annoyed with Coronavirus chat...also holidays...Well..TBH...it's nice 'you can even think of booking one'..it gets harder and harder - I'm 3 years in from diagnosis..This "isolation" is everyday life for a lot of people living with dementia in their lives...
Just a thought...rant over...I don't want to get bitter and feel sorry for myself, it's not helpful but just sometimes I do want to stand up and scream..only answer is to Count our Blessings, lots of people have very difficult things to deal with....Alzheimers included ?
