I'm having a hard time recently . My husband has been very caustic . I know he is in unremitting pain, but I'm not able to take the yelling and verbal abuse. I feel so frustrated . I try to help him with as much as possible , but he does not seem to recognize that I have my own medical problems and pains. I'm quite amazed that I haven't used that as an excuse to just pig out. Sorry for whining but needed to debrief. My friend who I use as a shoulder is difficult to reach. Because of her work hours and the fact that there is a three hour time difference doesn't help.
Ok, enough. How are you guys doing? All thekids called me for mother's day . My older son called me earlier in the week because he was in Brazil on Sunday. I wish I could travel but with Ernie's back problems and kidney dialysis , I don't this traveling will be happening soon. I have gained and lost a few pounds over the last month or so . The reason this is disturbing is, I have kept pretty much within my calorie range. This week is going to be a win. We'll at least that's what I'm telling myself. Hope you all have a great week . God bless.

It's hard when loved ones are suffering. It's hard to watch and sometimes hard to live with. Are there any groups/places where you live that could come help you, even if just for an hour so you can get away for a walk?

Skwhite has a great idea! Where I live, there are caregiver's support groups.

I've found that a couple paragraphs of "whining" here can make me feel like part of the burden has been lifted from my shoulders, at least for a while, and I don't feel guilty for blowing off steam. I mean, I think most of us can relate to at least part of each others' frustrations, right? So as far as being in pain and not feeling well I'm fist-bumping you. The fact is, you did NOT use it as an excuse to stress-eat and that's something to be proud of.
Hang in there, you aren't alone. <3

Yes, being a caregiver is difficult. The first thing you need to do is find a way to be good to yourself at least once a week as a start. Find someone to help when you can leave.

I have found that being CAUSTIC in my mind or under my breath help me deal with my husband who says and does mean things and when I tell him what I thing he blames me. He is different than he use to be and really can bug me. so I SAY &@#%&$@&*%.

I think all of us can relate having had grandparents, parents, or spouses who needed help. We may not have been the chief caretaker but it's always a strain. See if you can get out once a week for some time on your own, or talk to your own doctor or the social worker through your primary care doctor and they may have some suggestions of resources in the community that can help you catch an occasional break before it all becomes much too much for your health. 🙇🏻♀️
