[quote=Anonymous]Caring for my mother who recently moved in with us. She is still mobile and able to take care of bathing and dressing, but I have to give her her medications, cook for her, clean, manage her doctors, provide entertainment, et cetera.

It is not easy and I am exhausted, physically and mentally.

I wish I got a little more acknowledgment for everything I do. I don’t expect her to bend at the knee, I just wish I got a thank you or a kind word. She isn’t mean, she is just focused only on herself and her problems.

I’ve been feeling pretty down lately. I should probably see someone for depression and get medication. I am always so sad and overwhelmed. It didn’t start until I became a caretaker for her. It all just seems so depressing.

I read lots of things on dcum and sometimes they make me feel better, so I guess I am just reaching out. It’s better than me complaining to friends and family, at least here I can anonymously vent and ask for some uplifting, kind words without feeling like I am bothering anyone.
