You are not bad, just overwhelmed.

You feel guilty because you can't help your mum as you want to, and it's sending you into depression until you hide under the bedclothes and hope it will go away. Unfortunately, it's not the Big Bad Wolf you are fighting, but your own feelings of hopelessness.

It is important you get up and do what you can until you can contact others to help you cope.

Have you investigated Respite care? Somebody to come in for a few hours to give you a break?

It can make all the difference.

Cheers, Midori

When it gets this bad, I always like to ask the person if they've considered therapy and medication.

I am on both not working

[LadyZen in reply to Hidden]

That's a good start. Sometimes you might have to try different therapists or medications to fund what works for you. Hang in there.

Alexapal, Our virtual friend "Midori" has some good suggestions dear.

I know it's not easy for you to care for your mom when you are also suffering

emotionally.

Depression sets in when Anxiety get so overwhelming which is where you seem

to be now. It's okay for you to ask for help. If family/friends aren't around then

you may have to look into Respite Care as Midori advised.

You need some "me time" as well as your mother. I hope you find a solution for

both of you quickly. xx

I’ve been where you seem to be. It was challenging to say the least. If you need to vent please message me.

Take a deep breathe, sit down and have a cup of tea, coffee, cocoa and relax for a bit. I wish I could be there to help you. Have you taken Midori's advice and checked to see if there is someone or social service organization that can help you out. You need a break dear. You can come here and talk and we can try to help you out. When my mom was ill I felt hopeless and helpless and just prayed everyday for God to help me find a solution. Keep looking, praying and hoping and posting.

For me.....when this happens.....it's not so much fear or anxiety....but my body's way of saying...you need to take a break and regroup....you've been taking care of so many other things....and trying to help so many others....it's time to take a day for yourself.....luckily I haven't had too many days lately like that....but when it hits....it's like being buried in concrete...just remember that tomorrow is another day...to try and do your best...and if that is only getting 1 thing done....so be it
