Struggling with my thoughts in my relationship.

Hi there,
I am currently struggling in my thoughts with certain situations.
Me and my current boyfriend of nearly 3 years, are living with his mother - I moved out of my home due to covid and a situation that happened with an ex that is very traumatic. His mother, has a lot of struggles, she struggles with mental health, has FND which can have an affect on her speech, swallowing, mobility and stuff. I mention about doing stuff wether its during the day and theres an event upcoming next year that i mentioned about getting a hotel - as we hardly have time alone which has been a struggle and that he doesn't know wether he can do couple things or do things together that involve being away as hes worried. I have BPD so i dont know if its just my emotions and thoughts being crazy, but i struggle and sometimes think if itll change as she hasnt got any carers yet and we don't know when that'll happen now due to covid and her OCD not letting them in the house. So it's all down to me and him. His brother works in london mon-fri and generally goes out drinking so it would be tricky to try and get him to help.
Any ideas on what i can do to help my situation? As i dont wanna talk about it and feel like im nagging?

It sounds like you both would benefit from connecting up to Carers UK - they are really helpful and provide loads of support for family carers

This is their website - I'm linking onto the page which talks about finding respite care, but you'll be able to navigate from there.
