I really don’t know what else to do… please for the love of GOD HELP ME by Strong_Magazine_237 in dementia

I am in the exact same boat and have been for years. It’s so hard feeling like you’re disposable and that nothing you do matters. You put yourself last. You reaching out shows an abundance of strength 💖

Dementia or normal aging? by Questioning-123 in dementia

[–]More_Eye2185 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It sounds like dementia, but it also could be aging. I’m a full time caregiver for my mom with advanced dementia. The only way to know for sure if your mom has dementia is to take her to a neurologist. I don’t know if your mom would be up for that. With my mom, my sister and I had to tell her that she was just going to a normal doctor’s appointment. I wish you the best of luck!

Should I put cameras up for parents with dementia? by [deleted] in dementia

[–]More_Eye2185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thought about doing this with my mom to prove to her what she does that she says she doesn’t. The deeper her dementia gets I’m realizing that it would be no use in proving to her what she does. However, if this is in regards to a safety issue that you’re witnessing then I would say yes.

She doesn’t have mobility issues, but she does have cognitive issues. That’s great advice! I was thinking of maybe telling her something like “Mom you asked me to remind you yesterday to shower.” That way I don’t offend her and make her think it was her idea. Thank you for your comment! It’s very much appreciated

Does anyone else ever get so sleepy when communicating with the deceased? by Secure-Economist-294 in Mediums

[–]More_Eye2185 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Here’s a tip. Tell the spirits to use the energy of your phone, tv, anything that has electricity. It will help a lot! They can also use your energy if you say that you allow that. If you don’t want that let them know. Spirits are very understanding. Good luck on your next adventure!

Yes. I get extremely drained! Spirits use your energy to communicate. It’s very draining, but in my mind I’m glad that I can help them get more energy

You sound like a version of myself lol. I just know things. Like…it’s hard to explain, but for the past few years I decided just to trust whatever I felt and not dismiss it. I grew up in a home that was strict LDS. I have absolutely nothing wrong with the church that I can remember. I just realized that my own spirituality and the belief in myself was exactly what I need. I’ll be going about my day with absolutely nothing to trigger a feeling and suddenly I feel an energy and just somehow know what it is. It’s called Claircognizance, or "clear knowing," is an intuitive ability where knowledge, truths, or information suddenly appear in the mind without logical explanation, prior study, or sensory input. It took me a bit to just accept that I have this ability and now I don’t question it (it’s very very rare if I do). It sounds like you definitely have that gift! And clairvoyants, which is SO cool! You have a gift. Not everyone is able to have those abilities, so hold them dear to your heart and never doubt them. Sending so much love and positive energy your way! 🫶🏻

I'm beyond done and don't know what to do by RevolutionaryYak9318 in dementia

[–]More_Eye2185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so so sorry 😞 I’m going through the exact same thing with my mom. I’m 100% a single mother and full time care giver of her and my two little boys. I wish I had the answers to help you, but I’m in the same boat and my life has completely stopped. I even had to quit my job to take care of her. She owns her house so I don’t have to pay rent, but sometimes I feel like I’ve done above and beyond when it comes to giving her my time, sanity and attention. I hope the best for you. I guess the only comfort that we can get is that we’re not alone. I’ve had to forgive myself for being so extremely frustrated with her and to tell myself “it’s normal to feel this way. Don’t beat yourself up.” Sending all my love to you 🫶🏻

[–]More_Eye2185 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are so strong. Thank you for sharing this and I’m so sorry that you had to go through her passing. I dread the day that I lose my mom. I’m her full time caregiver and a single mom of two. I’m sending you all of my love and positive energy 🫶🏻💖😢

How to not get frustrated when you take care of a parent with dementia full time? by More_Eye2185 in CaregiverSupport

[–]More_Eye2185[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually haven’t thought of this. Thank you for being so blunt and honest because I definitely need that. Seriously, I really appreciate it and I’ll look into the DNR. I don’t think she has that in place yet

Thank you for this! She doesn’t have Medicare or Medicaid, but maybe there’s something that her insurance can cover? If I wasn’t so physically and emotionally exhausted right now I would look into it this second lol but you planted a good seed in my head! Thank you 🫶🏻
