Feeling like Crap

I suffer from PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. I was diagnosed in 2009. I am tired of feeling this way. I haven't seen My Counselor since 2015 and I hate that I am unable to go at this time. I am also a Caregiver for My Mom, Uncle and Our Dog. I have No Help Cleaning House, Running them to Their Drs. Appts., Running Errands or Getting Them Out of the House to give US all a Break from One Another. Just Tired

Oh yeah, I know that feeling very well. I'm am a caregiver to my mother who lives with us. 2 of our cats are special needs. My husband is hands off about things and often pulls a disappearing act. Is there a transportation system you can set up for your mom and uncle? I do get that for my mother. It works 50% of the time...she has to set it up a few days ahead, anything that comes up on the spot falls on me to get her there. I'm sorry you're so tired and don't get any help with cleaning. Do you have any siblings or other family who can come over and help once a month? Does your mom or uncle's disability cover any maid services? Have you called the Area Agency for Aging yet? They often have arrangements for all kinds of senior care, including at home nurse visits and meals on wheels. HUGS

    I have to say, I've been fairly stable for the past 9 years, except for anxiety issues.  For any who don't know me, before 2017, I was a Mess.  Seriously undermedicated crazy person.And, since I've been stable for so long, I had come to believe I was "cured".  That bipolar just miraculously ended for me....Until last month, when some things started happening that used to happen.  And now I'm...
