When Do You Ask For Help To Come In And Give Relief
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Husband was depressed this afternoon, he thought I was his daughter. Tells himself he is dumb. I try to tell him he is not, it's his memory and Alzheimer's.

Don't wait to get some respite. He is far enough along in his journey to make it quite difficult for you to hold it all together. Also, please discuss your situation and feelings with your physician. I was put on an anti-anxiety that was a game changer for me.

Go to your local Alzheimer's center and they will send you all kinds of agencies that will help with your Mom. If you attend a church, ask if any of the other people would be willing to come and sit with your mom so you can take some time for yourself. It is a process to hunt for this, but worth it.

I agree with others. If you are asking the question now, then it’s time to check into what services are available in your area. As noted from others, it can take time to research what’s available. Even if you decide not to right now, you’ll be armed with the information to help you make decisions. Good luck and keep us posted. ❤️

It’s best to start this now, cause it’s a process to get help. We all need breaks, especially as the condition progresses.
