Something’s not right
Hello @Sophia1 its really lovely to see you 
Thank you for the recognition and congrats. Much appreciated.
And no, your posts have never come as unkind, hollow or blunt or anything but helpful and caring.
Is there anything I can do to help you feel more connected here? Is anything I could help you with at all?
I find it really hard to talk on the phone especially to helplines. I really wish Carers Aus would set up like a webchat thingy too. Thank you for linking in the Alzheimers Society though, I hadnt thought to look for information on there so ill do some reading tonight.
Im thinking I will be speaking to his gp soon, hes due for a flu shot and a checkup in general and I think I would like them to reassess his mental state since it seems to be worsening.
Ive been trying to work up the courage to get some more help for him which would help me too but health profressionals dont seem to be working well with me and such a lack of family support too- I mentioned a few things in passing and got the 'your his carer he doesnt need anyhting else
speech or the if you do that your on your own speech. Makes it really quite tough to try and do.
Things with him seem to be getting more and more challanging especially mentally. He has started name calling- often swear sorts of word when hes angry or frustrated at me. Hes been overly stressed over a slight misscommunication between himself and someone else and has been abit of a mess but in turn its taking me down too, I know he doesnt mean to do that but when he needs support basically 24/7 right now its becoming much harder. I even tried to open up to my mother but she thought it was funny and the more I tell her the more angry she gets with me so its not working well in my favour.
Thank you for caring and validating how ive been feeling @Sophia1 im really pleased to see you pop up on the forum💙💚💜❤
