Hello again
I took mum to the GP today and she is now registered . The GP was really sensitive about the whole thing and has immediately referred her to local mental health and social services,telling me some sort of respite/day care is absolutely essential for my own sanity!! She also echoed what so many of you have said and that is to make sure I look after the needs of my husband and family first which seems to add to my guilt at the moment...
I felt so much brighter as i left the surgery....The doctor did point out though that I may have to fight to get respite/day care....not looking forward to that much....bit of a scaredy cat!
