[Lindie16]

I think I am having a nervous breakdown after caring for mum in my home for 2 years and from afar for the 5 years before this
I can’t cope
She’s has started waking me up every hour from 3am until 6am when I have to her up for work.
When I get in from work she is dressed and ready for me to take her out - as in her mind I have promised to do so. When I tell her we are not going out she is verbally aggressive and makes me feel useless and like I am doing an awful job. She does to day centre once a week and then has a PA that takes her out 3 out of the 5 other days. I then take over on the weekend.
I need a way out.

Hello @Lindie16 it sounds a very difficult situation, I wonder how long it is since you both had a SS needs assessment?
I also wonder how long it is since the GP did a medication review and if a change of medication would help lessen the aggression.
If you would like to talk to someone the Alzheimer’s society have a helpline

Also I wonder if extra support would be helpful
