I have been mom's single carer now for more than a year. I was sharing caring before with my sister who passed away this year. It's been 3 years that mom won't stay home alone ...I was able to get away and have a respite and come back refreshed when sister was around. This year there was no such opportunity. At the moment there is no care home option in my place for mom. there is only like 2 around and their conditions are horrible. Only option is to have 24 hr carer which i found one reliable but she can start only March/April. Unfortunately i realised I'm failing . Im caring for mom and washing , cooking and doing everything mechanically at the moment. But I snap at people , little things make me angry - previously i wouldn't pay attention to such things. At the moment I found another carer until April but she can do only half a day or max a day some days. No help from anywhere else. problem with mom is she is scared to be on her own. Unless i sneak out of the house while she is sleeping she is 24 hrs by my side. I feel trapped and I'm only 35. I haven't been out on my own in a year. Neighbors call me "a girl with mom". I have changed my work to half time online and even that is becoming a burden now...what can i do ? At the moment trying to get grief counseling too myself and i feel like it's just all too much .. It feels like im cracking ..I need some days off until April
