Mum has been in the CH for 4 months now and although confused most of the time, (she keeps asking if her Mum and Dad are OK, but is aware that my Dad is dead) is really looking very well, is enjoying her meals, the activities and has taken to the carers. She still asks to go home, but I tell her that the carers really love her and want her to stay with them so they can help me look after her. All of her friends and the family thinks she is doing great, but.... why do I feel so lost and to be honest depressed. The OH and I have been away for two breaks, which I enjoyed, but did not fully relax and now I feel that I need a week off work to sleep. The last 9 months have been really difficult with decisions on Mum's care and wellbeing having to be made ( I am an only child) and trying to hold down a stressful full time job have taken its toll. I wonder if feeling like this is a normal reaction, I really do not want to go to the doctor to get tablets to feel normal again. Has anyone else felt the same.
Sorry for the ramble, but had to get this off my chest.
