Battling MI whilst caring for someone with MI

Battling MI whilst caring for someone with MI

Struggling atm. Just want to chat, distract my mind. Mum has depression, recently discharged from mental health clinic. I can see she's not well but she internalises. We are usually so close but she just wants to be on her own, doesn't want to engage in much conversation. Perhaps I'm feeling sorry for myself as I miss our relationship. I can see that my depression and anxiety is increasing, which is making it harder to cope. Feeling alone tonight.

@Bella1978.

Glad your mum has,had a,few good days.

I was up all night and then slept from 9am til 5.20pm. Not good.

Went to local cinema to see a documentary on refugees. Went for 2-&-1/2-hours. Cried a lot. Now have a crying headache.

Just grabbing some of last night's left over dinner to eat and then going to bed.

Am exhausted. The documentary was too much. Depressing. Shouldn't have gone.
