Dear Dee and Mandee
There is a big differrence between depression and frustration from watching someone you love in agony. The topic is coping, fear and anger . Dee I'm glad you are coping well and hope you continue to do so. Mandi the purpose of my answering your post was to help you and myself vent. We cannot vent this frustration to the person who is struggling to survive or to our chidren. Here is a good place. Not everyone choses to speak to a professional or take a pill because life is rough and you can't at that moment see the end of the tunnel. So you let it out in this manner and puff for the moment it's gone. Mandi if you were clinically depressed you would find it difficult to get out of bed to care for your 2 kids and husband. Please anyone reading this area do not take this as a feel sorry for yourself caregiver club . All sides of this stink for all envolved and I'll gladly admit it.I also hope noone feels guilty about their postings and Dee we all have different opinions and do continue to make each day a blessing for the ones we love.
Diane
