I need help [View all]
I'm a caregiver to both my hubby with Alzheimer’s and my sister who moved in with us in order to help out, but has had a breakdown culminating in her asking me to help her kill herself. This followed a month of deep tissue massage therapy for nerve pain. And then came depression as massage seemed to allow decades of holding feelings in coming out. So she talked to psycho therapist, but wouldn't really share her fears and feelings.
Eventually that morning came whe she pleaded with me to commit suicide. That ended with me taking her to the ER. From there she went to a mental health facility for a week.
After all this, she is worse than ever. Paranoia has appeared. As well as sabotaging herself. And on to top it off her Healthcare HMO cannot get her to a therapist. We see someone today to try to see someone else. Reading this groups struggles is very ominous.
I'm at a loss. Both she and my hubby are struggling with different serious mental health struggles. I'm grateful to DU for being here. It helps to share this with others.
Today I lost all control of myself and yelled at her in public. It seems unfair. She wants to stay here. She doesn't want to get better. I can't really help her. And she's making me sick too.
HELP!!
