Must be in the air. I felt that way this morning...and it was my son pushing my buttons!!

I took a deep breath, ate a good lunch (leftover pasta) and then some candy. Feeling a bit better with all the carbs and sugar.

Hope you can find something to make you feel a little bit better.

Oh, Deb,

I SO know that feeling....can you get one of the kids to give you at least a breather?

I know that's not an answer but maybe if you can decompress you'll feel a little better....

hugs....

I am not under any stress compared to you and your situation, but I feel like taking a hike every day. My mom is just agitated I can only imagine what you deal with.

I know how you are feel - you are hanging on by a thread and it is beginning to fray.

Do you think it is harder now that you had the respite ?

Judy, I think you are right, I feel like I got a taste of freedom and it was nice.

Any chance to get him into day care?

When I first took Ron to hospice respite... I went to pieces the next day. I don't think I had ever totally realized how hard it had been.. and how much I didn't want to do it any longer.

"totally realized how hard it had been.. and how much I didn't want to do it any longer."

I feel like that is where I am in my head.

Hi Deborah.I do not think that you are really hating life today,I think you are hating no longer having a life.That is the part that I hate.

I feel your pain
Sending hugs

Do not feel guilty about feeling this way..you are only human

Hugs

Strohm, good point!

Deborah,

Judy hit the nail on the head. Once you've had the taste of freedom, it is VERY hard to go back to it. I realized it a long time ago, but was ashamed to admit it.
You are feeling exactly like I did when I decided to get some help for me and went on Zoloft. You really should consider it if you aren't taking anything and if you are.....maybe it needs tweaked. I don't think I would have made it through those last 6 wks without it. Now I am weaning myself off of it. I can't wait to meet you in Vegas. You sound so much like you are following my footsteps.
Praying for peace for you and Rollie very soon.

Judy...are you coming to vegas? I wish everyone could.

I felt that way after my husband returned from respite. It gets harder to go back into the mode of having no time to yourself.
I went to a movie last night for the first time in so long I can't remember when. It was a wonderful sense of freedom and I did my best not to think of my husband in the nursing home.
Deborah, if you can, get someone to be with your husband for even a couple of hours and treat yourself to whatever you might enjoy.

Both you and your husband are in my prayers.

Hugs

I feel like i'm being smothered, he does not want me to leave his sight or go anywhere at all without him....i feel for you sweetie.
