Right now she is dealing with a physical ailment and she just sobs and screeches and panics all day. The drs are constantly tweaking and optimizing her meds. It’s just hard - and sometimes I am jealous of people with ‘normal’ moms or moms who help them. Anyone else? I really worry also about what to do with her when my dad passes away. I can’t imagine she will be able to live alone…"[/quote]

"Not sure what the long term plan can be in this case for my mother but curious what others have done. She has OCD and extreme anxiety and panic. My dad takes care of her with a live in carer, but it's not under control despite multiple doctors and psychiatrists. She cannot be left alone for more than a few minutes or she completely freaks out. Trying to set up systems more long term but no idea where to start. Money not a huge issue."[/quote]
