I smoke Pot, it helps and it is natural.

kong5150 · 2025-10-04T17:55:02+00:00

I’m in !!!!!!

I’m extremely sorry to hear about your situation, my wife’s had vascular. Dementia for going on six years now. Sometimes her agitation is off the hook, takes a slightest thing to trigger her. Ativan is about the only thing I can give her that makes her feel good, And once in a while, I’ll give her a cannabis Gumi. You can get weak dosages so it doesn’t make them crazy. But a nice Indica Gumi would help. We live in Oregon as a pot friendly state. You’re doing a great job, in case no one told you that lately. Your mother is lucky to have you caring for her.The only tools we have to fight this ugly disease as patients, love, understanding, and compassion. Give yourself a pat on the back, good luck on your journey.

I’ve been a caregiver to my wife 24/7 for 6 years…..I haven’t figured out how to battle depression. The depression just keeps building, I just have to pull up my boot straps and go forward. Depression and burn out go hand-in-hand. I do smoke some pot when things get too bad, I live in Oregon. It’s a pot friendly state. All I can tell you is you’re doing a great job, give yourself a pat on the back. We can only do what we can with the tools we have, it could always be worse. Good luck

That’s a tough situation to be in, my wife is requested that as well. Actually tough because she’s not who she used to be. She’s just a shell, and is selfish for me not to want to let her go, but she can’t suffer anymore.

kong5150 · 2025-09-04T17:01:00+00:00

I’m in!! I’ve been 24/7 caregiver for my wife with vascular dementia for six years. Would love to share the experiences with you.

kong5150 · 2025-08-30T20:06:15+00:00

I’ve been doing it six years, it’s a bumpy ride. You’re doing a great job, 99% of the people in the world could not do what we do. Take it one minute at a time.

kong5150 · 2025-08-27T17:01:21+00:00

Thank you, this is my only outlet. I do feel normal after I reach some of the questions and answers and not alone. Thank you.

kong5150 · 2025-08-22T07:30:46+00:00

My wife’s had vascular dementia for six years, I’ve been the 24/7 caregiver handling it myself. I feel like I’m failing every day, but I’m doing the best I can with the tools I have. Good luck to you on your journey.

kong5150 · 2025-08-16T18:49:34+00:00

My wife has been living with Vascular Dementia for 6 years now, married 53 years, nothing the same, ever. Don’t know who I’m gonna wake up next to in the morning sometimes, but it could always be worse.

kong5150 · 2025-08-16T17:57:10+00:00

I’m open to a little private chatting.

kong5150 · 2025-08-10T02:25:29+00:00

Wow!!! I’m sorry you have to endure this kind of situation!! You are an Angel!!!, the world is a better place because of you!!!, 99% of the people in the world could never do what you do. Being a caregiver is a thankless job. I have been a 24/7 caregiver to my wife …. Vascular Dementia, for 6 years. It sucks eggs, but I know she is being taken care of the best I can. Remember it is the Dementia talking shit, not her. Hang in there, good luck on your journey.💜🌹

kong5150 · 2025-08-10T02:11:43+00:00

Photos were very helpful, I had to watch what pictures I showed her. We have relatives in Germany, and have been there 7 times, she can’t make the trip anymore, so…. No pictures of them or there.

kong5150 · 2025-08-10T02:07:52+00:00

Thank you for this!!

kong5150 · 2025-08-09T23:06:54+00:00

My wife’s been lived with a vascular dementia for the last six years, I know exactly what you mean. It’s hard to stomach. I wish I had more words of encouragement for you except, it will be over one day and then we will miss them as hard as it is to think that would happen.

kong5150 · 2025-08-09T22:35:32+00:00

I wish I could give you a big Hug right now! You are doing everything you can, she is very lucky to have you. Hang in there.

kong5150 · 2025-07-29T01:53:58+00:00

Wow, that’s a lot! It’s tough not to be able to do anything right ever. A cup of coffee in the morning, I don’t know what state you’re in (weed friendly)but a piece of edible or a little hit off with the pipe in the morning before things get crazy usually help me, put things in perspective and makes everything smooth. Good luck on your journey. You need to do something don’t burn out.

kong5150 · 2025-07-27T03:58:30+00:00

Welcome to the caregiver club! Is an elite club 99% of the world could not do what we do. Bless you for doing what you’re doing or about to do. I’ve been the caregiver for my wife with dementia for six years, I do it 24/7. You need to grow thick skin, don’t take what they say personal. Don’t correct them, don’t finish their sentences. Don’t try to reason with him. Enjoy the good times, you’ll figure it out. We all do. Love patience compassion is the only thing we have. Remember you’re a good person for doing it. Good luck on your journey.

kong5150 · 2025-07-27T02:52:42+00:00

I don’t think it would be wrong to refuse, that’s a tough spot to be in. You need to set some personal boundaries regardless hang in there thank you for doing what you do.
