Hi everyone.
I'm caring for my husband who has mixed dementia. He's fine some days and then other days he can think straight at all. On these days he's like a child with aDHD and is constantly cleaning, dusting and generally tidying up. Trouble is ...he puts things away and can't remember where he's put them.
I'm finding this quite emotionally draining......doing the same things every day, answering the constant bombardment of questions. My son usually helps looking after his dad but he's gone away for a few days so I'm with my husband 24/7. I now feel like an emotional wreck.
Does anyone have any simple ideas to combat this feeling?
