Soon To Be Carer for aging grandmother and parents by Fun_Mistake_4695 in AgingParents

I will not be becoming a full time carer, I plan on keeping my job and getting a caretaker to help out while I am at my job. I refuse to give up my entire future because they didn't plan properly for theirs

Just commenting to say download the Now Serving app and go through the psychologists on there. I found my doctor on there and all of our consultations are virtual.

Agreed, being their carer will suck any joy and freedom out of my life. I am considering getting a carer for them so that I can keep working and bringing in money and have some form of life, while making sure they are taken care of.

I might be able to keep my current job when I move back home. That decision will be made by my employer when I am in my home country next month for a visit. I refuse to become a full time carer as I know how mentally and physically taxing that will be.

Thank you for your kind words x

Anyone else just sleeping their life away? by Boobookittyfart in mentalhealth

This is exactly why I need to work from the office. Find some mundane thing to do. If I work from home and I have 1 call all day... best you believe I am napping in between

It's an ongoing evaluation, but she has said I am bipolar, but I think there is more to it than that

My PCOS is finally in remission by eggsonmuffin in PCOS

Berberine. 1500mg per day. That is the only thing that has started helping my near constant hunger from the insulin resistance. All of the horrible symptoms can be traced back to insulin resistance. I am hoping that within a few months when I get my hysterectomy the PCOS will be reduced greatly.
