My mums ill at the minute which is one thing but the other is I'm a full time carer for my nana who is 92 with dementia .
I've had enough of my life ,I can't cope anymore ..sorry I don't know where to post this I don't know who to turn to .
My life at the minute I get up at 7 am go to my nanas for 8 am stay there all day till 8 pm come home have a bath and go to bed and it starts again .
Get my uncle ( her son ) to watch her for a hour twice a week whilst I pop for shopping.
I'm so sad and lonely ..she doesn't try to get up and dressed now she just lies there .
My Aunty ( her daughter ) lives In australia always rings and brags how great her life is and I'm here caring for her mum ..I love my nana with all my heart but I have no life .
Today I'm in all day till 8 pm ,it's a multi storey flat so no where to go for fresh air I'm trapped .
I go home tonight bed and starts again tomorrow ..my Aunty is coming over in a few weeks and I can't wait to be free .
The simple things like getting on a train and just going somewhere ..anywhere .
How am I going to make it up a few weeks tho ..I'm crying everyday .
I've fallen out with my friend because yesterday she said I know how you feel ..I asked how ? And she said I've read online how difficult it is to care for someone with dementia .
I lost my temper and swore at her and said yeah cos that's the same
I wish I was away from this ..I wish I was ill instead of my mum at least she's going to be away from it all soon ..this is my life permanently now ..I feel so low .
I need someone to tell me things will get better ..and one day il be happy :-(
