I Am A Caregiver And How Do You Deal With The Constant Repeating Every 2 Minutes Which Drives Me Crazy
A myALZteam Member asked a question šŸ’­

She goes to an adult daycare during the week but on the weekends I have her all day. I dread the weekends, I rather be at work. I am so emotionally and mentally exhausted.

You are not alone!! My mom has been with me for 10 months. And she drives me crazy. The constant "where's the bathroom?, how long have I been here?, etc never ends.. Have decided to get someone to sit with her 1 day a week. That's a start. My husband helps alot also but he has to work. I have her 24/7. No other siblings oelatives to help out. One thing I keep telling myself is that she can't help it, relax & don't take every thing so serious. YOU have to live also. šŸ˜

I take a deep breath and say to myself ā€œthat could be me..ā€ He doesnā€™t know better. It is sooo hard..pray for patience.

Bless you. You are not alone. My mother, at times, talks down to me like I am a child. But in a sense - she's the one acting like a child. Tries to control me. Yet she is sweet as pie to my husband & anyone else who is here. I am learning to just walk away without answering her & trying to not take it personally. You have to take care of YOU!

I would love an answer too. I canā€™t leave him allow but itā€™s none stop repeating everything. Did she fight you on day care? My husband refuses to go. But he is obsessed with reorganizing drawers and that keeps him busy for hours sometimes. It a nice break honestly.

We are going to try Respite care this weekend. She was ok with the idea. She helped me get some clothes together and pack them. Then, she went to the bathroom and came back and was so angry. Started being mean and demanding that I get her her phone. She then called everyone she could saying all kinds of negative stuff about me. I had to just walk away!
