But she has my father taking care of her - my father has promblems on his own - but at least my siblings live close to them. Thy r getting old at this point.

Remember- you do what you can and I would think that your parents are very proud of you for that. She is being taken care of and that is what matters. You probably get there when you can and as often as possible.

Thankyou for ur help. I appreciate you. I’m living with type 1 diabetes and it uncontrolled my A1C was pretty high - I’m at stay at home mom .

I’ve been so tired and I tend to focus but I can’t my mental has been foggy. I tend to forget things a lot. I did go on u tube for meditation it does help and relax trust me it works my kids always says mom u do a lot at the house meaning I take care of them . Cook dinner clean the house when I’m mentally feeling ok.

We are all the same, by that I mean when we are feeling ok mentally everything gets done with no problem, but when we’re feeling anxious and depressed we let things slide. You appear to be coping fairly well. With anxiety and depression along with other illnesses we are entitled to have a bad day once in a while and maybe more like me I generally have more ok days than I do bad days. This is a good group and there are many people who will offer good advice and wellness messages.

I agree but I have some up and downs try to fight off . It’s hard but I had anxiety all my life and depression. I have a couseler she working with me . So that is good . Thy r time I feel so down . And tired - all the time and it’s not fun to feel this way. I’m hoping all this Couseling and talking with this forum will help.
