In tears 😢

[DumDum32]

I can't stop crying today. I think it's finally happened I've cracked under the pressure of being a carer/supporter for my loved ones. I rang the crisis team y'day, they gave me some emergency meds but I still feel so low.

Just speaking to my partners G.P about his issues this morning has set off. Kids will be up in a bit so I have to pull myself together. Just how????

I am so sorry you are going through this. I really dont have any advice only a hand hold as I am going through the same thing and am, myself at breaking point. I am really struggling to split myself into so many pieces trying to care for my mum who has Alzheimer’s, my dad who doesn’t cope and won’t do anything to help as well as being a mum for my D.C. and having a job as a pa for a disabled lady. It’s taken it’s toll on me physically and emotionally.
Hopefully the meds they have given you will kick in in the next few days 🤞

I'm so sorry your going through similar. I actually feel worn out today must be all the crying. I'm supporting my dad thorough lung cancer, mum through heart Failure & now my partner through a breakdown. Plus work & kids. I have a different hat on all day so feel your words completely when you say struggling to split yourself in many pieces. I'm usually OK strong as an Ox but today just felt different.
Picked up the meds so let's see. Hope you have managed a cuppa at least today x

Well thought the meds would help with sleep but no so super exhausted today aswell. I know I need a few days for it kick in

Hand hold OP. I hope you have a better night tonight and the meds kick in for you ASAP

Thankyou @thewinehasgonetomyhead x

Looks like another long night ahead. Can't sleep. Browing various threads it is till I can fall asleep

Hope it eases OP. I struggle with my mental health too and life can be so hard as a carer

@Dntevenknowit thank you I hope so too. Just finding it a struggle at the min. Usually not so weak but I think I've hit my limits. Trying to build in some self care but ofcourse hard when so many things to juggle.

You’re not weak at all! That is a huge amount to be coping with. It’s hard enough caring for one person ime. Did the crisis team give you sleeping tablets?
Hope you get some rest
