I know that many people with dementia develop a fear of leaving their home, but what about the carers?
I have recently developed a dislike of leaving the house. It started back in the summer when I didnt know what I would come home to if I left OH, but now its just all the time. Im fine if it is within walking distance, but any further and I start to get very anxious. I need to go to the supermarket, but Im worried about having an accident on the way, or not being able to park and wondering what OH will be getting up to while Im gone.........
Is this something that just happens when caring for someone in your own home, or should I try and fight it?
