Drained, overwhelmed, stuck & lonely
Sometimes I just want to close my eyes and drift away to a happy place. My mom lives with me, she is capable of caring for herself, but she suffers from dementia. This can be very draining for me.
I'm off work until next Tuesday and am dreading going back, but I am mentally trying to prepare myself.
I'm in school (online) and start back up this weekend/Monday.
I have a daughter in college who is home for the Winter Break.
I have a boyfriend (not live in) who I hardly ever see. I'm considering calling it quits. With him or without him, I feel lonely.

I hear you, life's one big struggle with the trying times we face, but one thing is for sure, when the tough gets going, the going gets tough!
You sound like one heck of a strong person. Look at this as one extra challenge you'll soon over come and look back on. Keep going lovely, you'll be ok xx

Do you have anyone who can help handle some of the things you are taking care of? In this case I think the main caregiver (you) needs a little help and time to take care of herself.
