How to deal with it

[Sugarcookiejuicey]

My husband is a recovering alcoholic but now is on meds..he has paranoia and always sleeps. I am finding myself taking care of our business we built and a lot of other things..I have been under so much stress and anxiety which I am now taking meds for. We have been married for 23 years and this is am new to us. It started last year. I have no family or friends and neither does he. We have no children and our finances are going down hill. I find myself useless and depressed I have seem to lost interest in the things I once enjoyed doing. We try to go out or just try to do things together but with his condition it seems useless. He's on pain meds and anxiety meds and dont do nothing but sleep a lot while I just sit on the couch doing nothing. Its really bringing me down I'm just lost and don't know where to turn.

I think that you being everything your husband has at the moment, really shows enormous strenght. Yes you both may be facing a rough time right now, but it wont be like this forever. This too shall pass. Be strong, and be patient. All good things comes to those who wait. Spend your time wisely and dont spend your time on the couch all day long, be productive. Go out, b social, make friends and turn to someone . Everyone knows someone who can help. Have you considered therapy? Hang in there, you got this 💜

Thank you ...yes I have been looking into support groups not really many in my area they are far like a 2 hour drive. I will call my health care provider and see what they can do for me. I sure hope this passes .he went from being a alcoholic now to being addicted to pain meds. I am trying to be strong.
