You live in the US don't you? Please don't drink alcohol as you have Covid-19! It will make you feel worse! Have you got any symptoms at the moment, high temperature and a constant cough?

I am not working right now and live in England Dogmad! I live be on my own and yes it is very difficult at times!

Please pm me and don't please, don't despair! Here for you 👌🤗🙏

This is really a bad situation for you both! I am so very sorry you are ill right now with this bad virus! What is your sister's disability if I may ask? Can she care physically for her self, wash and dress, go to the bathroom???

If you are registered with a doctor please call that surgery Dogmad! You really need help!!!!!

I'm so glad you reached out and some help is coming for you and your sister. This may be a blessing in disguise, as perhaps they can put some help in place on a more permanent basis to ease the burden on you. They will have information on other services which may be appropriate for you and your sister. I live with my elderly father and simply could not manage without the carer who comes in every morning for an hour. The stress on our mental health is awful , and you are doing an amazing job to care for your sister. Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

No need to apologize, there’s a lot of Negativity out there. Normally I don’t take things personally UNLESS it is Directed at ME! I Never write to offend anyone, it’s just Me venting. My younger brother works a full time job, has 2 autistic kids, a bedridden wife who has brain damage from a aneurysm. Being a Caregiver is EXTREMELY physically and emotionally EXHAUSTING. Try and seek out some HELP? 😷🙏
