Carers under 30...

Too be honest @Former-Member

Yeah this psych hasnt bern listening to me and keeps harping on that i dont have much time left in the program that im in. If i come out of there tomorrow completley trashed like last time and ahe hasnt listened to me and about what id like to achieve by being in the program in changing psychs

You are still young @Former-Member, caring does not have to be your life career.
If you could do anything you wanted, what would it be.

I dont know @Former-Member
I like being a carer but i think its taking its toll on me abit esp mentally when im the one who gets in trouble or gets the blame or gets yelled at whem he should be talking to my mum about his problem with her. Not yelling at me for her mistakes

@Former-Member
Being a carer is hard work especially when it is a family member we care for, we often feel unappreciated.

Yeah i guess your right @Former-Member

How do i cope with it? What do you do to reduce the toll it takes on you?

Also @Former-Member how have you been going?

@Former-Member

There are times when coping is difficult.

The most important thing is that I intentionally love the person I care for very much. This means that I chose to love him even when the going is rough. I know Mr Darcy is my husband not my Pop, but there have been many times I have felt more like his mother than his lover...

Get that self care happening. Don't let their ups and downs become your ups and downs too.

If you want to vent here, just say so, tell me you want to have a bi%#h and you are not looking for advice ...

@Former-Member
Thought it might have been hard to count my blessings tonight, but managed to turn it around...

@Former-Member
I suspect you are feeling a bit delicate, I can hold your hand for half an hour .

Thanks heaps @Former-Member my meds kicked in so i fell asleep.
I really appreciate your advice amd im sure there will be a time when i just need to vent and your most welcome to just vent here as well.
I sometimes just feel like a nurse rather than his granddaughter so i get that feeling your speaking of.
Yes i am feeling abit delicate and i appreciate you being there for me ❤❤❤
If your around today id appreciate you holding my hand while im waiting to go to my therapist cause im super super nervous
