Re: Introduce yourself here

Hi I am new to this, took me a while to find the text box lol I am a carer for my Mum she has depression and anxiety her anxiety is emotional mine is more physical I stutter and my jaw jerks as do my hands worst times are when I am cooking luckily I have the support of my husband and 20 year old son who both live with me. I dont know what I would do without my husband and my son they keep me sane. I am going through menopause and my mother drinks a lot and has memory lapses, I feel guilty as I dont have the patience I used to have with her. Can anyone relate to this.
