Hi my name is Donna, my mum moved in with me last October with anxiety. She is now in the process of a dementia diagnosis and naturally things are in abeyance just now with the current crisis. We were to get a Community Nurse for further assessment and she has been in touch by email and phone but i’m struggling. All the doors are now locked as she keeps ‘running away’, thinks she’s being kept a prisoner. This Isolation could be so much easier but she is so draining.. negative, critical, nasty and i know i’m not reacting the right way now, because i’m so tired and concerned for the wellbeing of other people in the house. My friend rents a room with us and tbh if it wasn’t for him it would be much worse. She doesn’t know who i am half the time. My 15 year old sons don’t know how to cope.. i am usually a positive person but i have lost my way with this . Sorry
