Hello - I don't know if there is a more appropriate place to talk to other carers? But sometimes I just feel overwhelmed. I think I am on auto pilot trying to hold down a full time job and care for my husband and friends, family and colleagues check in from time to time but it is constant for us.
Last night was quite a good evening in terms of feeling ok but I then get overwhelmed by the situation and how did we end up here. My gorgeous, lovely husband is coping so well but he is dealing with so much. How did we go from a normal life to one where he now has a colostomy bag, PICC in his arm, Rash all over, painful mouth sores, feels sick, feels tired - and with each treatment they seem to get worse. Its just so unfair.
And then you wake up and you start all over again. I dont think anyone really knows what you are going through apart from others on this site. Thank you for listening!
