[quote=Anonymous]PP here. I should also say: the onset of dementia, aging, etc, definitely ramped up her depression and anxiety. For 2 years before she was diagnosed with dementia, she had very real (to her) episodes of intense nerve pain, but with no definable physical cause. Secondly, sometimes its not purposely manipulative, but all the woe is me/i cant handle it anymore gets everyone else worked up to a frenzy--in my moms case, the only time she ever felt "heard" or "understood" in her chaotic pain was when everyone else reached that state. Like she used to rage around, etc, etc, and suddenly when everyone else was thrown off course, chaotic internally, upset, angry, fighting with each other, she would sort of calm down. It was like the only way that she felt her internal chaos was "seen" by others. Even now, she will get really mad that I am not upset alongside with her ("how can you just stand there when I'm in so much emotional pain?" is what she said recently). [/quote]
