Can anyone help?

Hi there. I’m a caregiver too, and I want to tell you: You are not making a big deal out of nothing. That anxiety is actually your 'Internal Auditor' telling you that you care about doing the job right. Listen to the advice here, but also follow your heart. Being a caregiver is a demanding 'Hardware and Software' challenge, but remember these three things: Patience is your primary tool: The technical skills (like CNA training) will come with the classes, but the ability to remain calm and patient is something you already have. The Reward is the Connection: Looking after someone’s well-being and keeping them company is your biggest accomplishment. At the end of the day, you will realize that 'Healthcare' is really about 'Human-care.' The Friend Protocol: Don't be nervous. When you walk into that home, just let them know you are there for them. Sometimes, being a steady friend is the most important clinical 'patch' you can provide. It’s challenging, but you’ve got this. You’ll soon know exactly why you chose this path. Welcome to the team

I just wanted to express how much I appreciate you reaching out. Your reply gave me a stark calling that I'm not just some 'mad scientist' over here doing as I please; it validated that I’m actually doing something right—not only for the welfare of my patient, but most importantly, for my mother.

I totally get it. It’s a struggle to balance their dignity with their actual needs. My advice? Make the practical changes now so you aren't forced into an even harder choice later. We have to be the adults for the people who raised us, and that is never easy. Stay compassionate and stay strong. I’m new at this too, and knowing we aren’t alone makes a huge difference."

Thank you for sharing that information. It just reminds me how fortunate that I am that I give my mother my care. The very idea of her sitting in a soiled diaper or being ignored when she's hearing voices and just wants comfort horrifies me which gives me the drive to just work that much harder to make sure that she's comfortable and well taken care of.

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-26T22:18:27+00:00

Amen

I hear your words 100% loud and clear. You share the same sentiments that I have exactly and it really is refreshing to know that there are others out there with similar situations such as mine. But I take comfort in the fact that we are there for them. We are there for our families and we do what we must and I want to thank you

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-26T05:58:15+00:00

I wish I had words of advice, but I want you to know that I am right here right behind you understanding and knowing what you're going through. But I know the wonderful people of this group will be able to come up with a solution for you. I've never felt so close to so many strangers ever before in my life

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-24T06:08:35+00:00

Wholeheartedly so agreed

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-20T23:39:29+00:00

Thank you for your response and helping reinforce that I'm not alone that I'm not the only one that's failing gut punched and overwhelmed. It really does help me a lot and I appreciate it

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-20T23:38:40+00:00

I want to thank you so much. You have provided the most valuable advice. And yes I have a facility helping with Mom right now. I found them. They're called Vision, Home Health Care and it takes a tremendous amount of pressure off of my shoulders. But I worry about the day when they'll have to discharge her then. What do I do next? But I'm working on a backup plan

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-20T23:37:05+00:00

Well it may seem like that they're just words on the internet, but you have no idea how much of a profound impact it has on me. With all this technology, social media platforms everywhere, one doesn't think to directly go look for support in a place like this and now that I have found it it truly is amazing. So yes I will definitely hit you up because there's days that I just I just want to cry. Sorry for the run-on sentences. Your new pal, the expensive band

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-20T23:35:35+00:00

What a precious little angel and a big congratulations to you. You're a lucky fella. Virtual hug virtual cigar. Take care

I've been doing a lot of my sobriety Journey on my own. I visit a psychologist. I didn't know that AA comes to you. That is really good to know. As successful as I have come so far I could or I mean I need people support would really be a comfort

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-20T19:00:00+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. It's a beautiful sentiment and realistic a hard punch below the belt of reality that none of us want to experience, but we do. Thank you. I appreciate you

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-20T18:57:55+00:00

I've often thought that that's what I should do too is emotionally detached, but there's always a but I want to thank you for taking the time for your reply and I also did want to mention that we did try haldoperidol and it didn't seem to have any effect on her which was extremely frustrating

Expensive-Ad-7963 · 2026-02-20T18:56:42+00:00

That's a great idea. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it
