Hi, this is my first post on any forum ever so please bear with me. My Dad was taken into hospital in May 2016 because Mum couldn’t cope anymore with no sleep, constant hallucinations and all the rest that goes with dementia.
Dad has been diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies.
This might sound really selfish but this post is for me.
My life has gone into meltdown. I cannot process what is happening to the closest person to me.
After many counselling sessions from various people I’m still unable to show any emotions except anger! The sadness is in me but won’t come out. I am normally a outgoing and confident person but feel like the life has been sucked out of me. My confidence is in the gutter which is affecting my work and marriage. I’m not taking care of myself and started drinking way too much. I’ve read many posts and I know I’m not alone but any information on how to handle this awful situation would be gratefully appreciated.
