Welcome to the forum @Celiagibson.

I’m so sorry to read about your situation. It sounds awful.

It might be a good idea to contact the Admiral Nurse helpline and discuss your situation with someone there.

What is an Admiral Nurse and how can they help?

Dementia UK is a charity that provides Admiral Nurses for families affected by dementia. Call our Dementia Helpline to find out how we can support you.

It’s good that you’ve found this forum. You’ll find understanding and support here.

Welcome @Celiagibson

You need help as soon as possible. Five years is a long time to be a primary carer with no help and support.

Have you had an assessment from Social Services?

Apply for a needs assessment by social services

Apply for a needs assessment by social services through your local council - support, home care help, disability equipment, day centres, care homes

Also see what help is available in your area.

I hope you will feel less alone now you are on the forum.

I definitely second @Izzy and @Grannie G advice and you could also look to see if you have a local carers support group
