Hello Linux
I read your comments and felt the need to reply. I know very little about your background eg presumably you are caring for a partner or possibly an elderly parent, etc? Please be assured you are welcome on this forum.
I fully appreciate how difficult it can be in the early days of dealing with a loved one who has Dementia. You may have little knowledge of the illness, filled with dread of what may come later, you may feel overwhelmed by a mixture of emotions. Matters made additionally worse by the extra background worries all people have regarding Coronavirus. Please try to understand that those feelings are experienced by all carers in the early days. Try not to doubt yourself, give yourself time to adjust to your new circumstances. Try not to let your feelings or thoughts dwell on what you fear the future holds. Try and settle your thoughts for the moment in the current moment. There will be problems in the caring role, but try not to increase your load today, by worrying what may happen and when in the future.
Do you have any family and friends who you can talk to? Please consider contacting the Alzheimer’s society help desk. They will be very supportive, they will listen to your concerns. Nae Sporran made several useful suggestions regarding matters you will need to consider. The list may seem daunting but advice and guidance is available as suggested. Local carers groups organised by the Alzheimers Society have I believe been suspended across the country, due to Coronavirus, but it and Admiral Nurses have help lines to contact. Please seek out the carers guide document on this site, a good place to start for information. Sorry my computer skills are to poor to supply links. Hopefully a helpful soul will do so for you soon.
Please remember one observation. At one level deep down no one wanted to join this forum through positive choice. An illness in a loved one brings people to this site. That said there are many lovely people who regularly post on this site. Politicians use the phrase “we are all in this together”. For them usually a fairly meaningless sound bite. The members of this forum are all in this together and offer each other very good advice and guidance. Post a problem and someone usually comes along quite quickly with an answer. The current Coronavirus is a case in point.
Please follow the current threads and search for older ones on specific subjects. If nothing else through this forum hopefully you will see that you are not alone in your situation. Welcome to the forum. Be gentle with yourself, allow time to adjust.
