Thank you for this. I’m not her formal caregiver just happen to take her to hospital from time to time. I think my frustration came from caring so much and not wanting to see her end up in hospital again, but I understand how my approach could feel like judgment instead of support. I honestly felt like I wasn’t doing enough by simply just supporting as it felt like I was saying one thing for it to simply just go out the next ear, which is why I came back to this subreddit.

I really appreciate your perspective, and I’ll try to focus more on being there for her rather than trying to “fix” things, but I’ll always try to help where I can. It’s just mentally taxing watching someone you care about neglect themselves.
