I'm new at this. My husband has vascular dementia and is also disabled. When his dementia was diagnosed and when it got worse, I felt very depressed and stressed, overwhelmed with so many things to take on board. I tried this Talking Point once, at the time, to say how depressed I felt but someone, kindly meant, came on to say, don't get depressed, it will pass. I was at my wits end at the time and it put me off! I have subsequently followed and read the various topics and found all of it very helpful, so I'm having another go!
My current question is, what to do with the never ending conversations of where is he, where is this place, has he been committed, have I been committed with him!! This isn't our house, his room. A lot of this is at 3 or 5am. Please can someone advise. What do any of you do??
Thanks for listening and reading this. I wish all carers the very best. It's such a tough job. We need each other!
